Dear Amir: I pray and trust that all is well with you and all your loved ones.
Below are four articles we recently published based on a large survey of 2296 wheat fields from Morocco. In these papers, we demonstrate that adoption of the individual and different combinations of two or three of the CA components leads to higher yield and net margins. With the exception of few combinations, adoption also leads to lower downside risk and variability of yield in the drylands.
2) Socio-economic impacts of zero and reduced tillage in wheat fields of the Moroccan drylands
4) Legume-based rotations have clear economic advantages over cereal monocropping in dry areas
We will appreciate it if you can please share it with the community of practice.
Blessings,
Yigezu
