Patterns of change in soil organic matter, physical properties and crop productivity under tillage practices and cropping systems in Bangladesh (2016, background): “stability, thereby facilitating better drainage and WHC, as C sequestration is raised though the increase in SOM by CA (Holland 2004). Green manures in a crop rotation add OM to soil, which improves WHC (Bunch 1995; Salahin et al. 2013). Sur et al. (1993) and Alam et al.”
Genetically engineered crops help support conservation biological control (2019, background): “Reduced tillage or no-tillage minimizes the disruption of the soil structure, composition and biodiversity with positive impacts on arthropods and biological control (Holland, 2004; Stinner and House, 1990; Tamburini et al., 2016; Triplett and Dick, 2008).”
Reduced tillage effects on soil properties and growth of cereals and associated weeds under organic farming (2011, background): “Reduced tillage practices are increasing worldwide (El Titi, 2003) due to their benefits on soil and water conservation (Holland, 2004; Vogeler et al., 2006), as well as their reduced requirement for fuel, equipment and labour (Derpsch, 2005).”
The impacts of conservation agriculture on crop yield in China depend on specific practices, crops and cropping regions (2014, background): “For example, CA may increase crop yield through improving soil fertility by conserving soil and water and sequestering organic carbon in farmland soils [8–10].”
Socialism in soil? The importance of mycorrhizal fungal networks for facilitation in natural ecosystems (2009, background): “Journal compilation 2009 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 97, 1139–1150 ment practice in agriculture that is receiving increased attention is conservation tillage (Holland 2004).”
Adoption of conservation agriculture in europe. Lesson of the KASSA project (2007, background): “…there still are few synthetic reviews of the research findings (Cannel, 1985; Soane and Ball, 1998; Rasmussen, 1999; Tebrügge and Düring, 1999; Holland, 2004, Deumlich et al., 2006) and, the adoption of conservation agriculture by European farmers is still very weak compared to other regions…”
Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “Soil tillage practices affect organic matter composition, soil moisture and the structure of the soil surface (Holland 2004).”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “It is a common practice in North and South America where in areas are characterized by intensive soil erosion (Holland 2004).”
Arthropod pest management in organic crops. (2007, background): “Holland (76) gives a comprehensive review of the environmental implications of adopting conservation tillage in Europe, including effects on micro-, meso-, and macrofauna.”
Testing for Complementarity: Glyphosate Tolerant Soybeans and Conservation Tillage (2015, positive): “Conservation tillage (CT), defined as a tillage system that leaves less than 30% of crop residues on the soil surface, has long been advocated as a way to reduce these detrimental effects (Holland 2004).”
Sustainable weed management in conservation agriculture (2014, background): “Modern day agriculture is strongly associated with conventional tillage which is defined as a system having deep primary tillage followed by secondary cultivation operations (Holland, 2004).”
