• The impacts of conservation agriculture on crop yield in China depend on specific practices, crops and cropping regions (2014, background): “Improper seeding equipment or its application can result in lower yieldswith CA compared to CT,while in other regions the use of appropriate seeding methods can lead to marked yield benefits under CA practices [2].”
• Climate-smart agriculture: smallholder adoption and implications for climate change adaptation and mitigation (2011, background): “Finally, in many cases, the full benefits in terms of higher and more stable yields will not be realized for four years or more, whereas costs will be incurred up front (Blanco and Lal 2008; Hobbs et al. 2008; Bot and Benites 2001; Sorrenson 1997).”
