- Global water crisis and future food security in an era of climate change (2010, background): “…focus on better soil management for soil carbon sequestration may entail a reduction in land use for food production as well as a reduction in yields, at least during the initial years, from the land put to conservation farming (Knowler and Bradshaw, 2007; Lal, 1997; Mazvimavi and Twomlow, 2009).”
- Effect of hand-hoe based conservation agriculture on soil fertility and maize yield in selected smallholder areas in Zimbabwe (2013, background): “, 2010), the higher yields in the CA plots at low yield levels may not justify the increased labor associated with the practice compared with conventional tillage (Mazvimavi and Twomlow, 2009).”
- Is rainfed agriculture really a pathway from poverty (2014, neutral): “Five cases were subsequently dropped from the analysis (Das et al., 2008; Guto et al., 2011; Mazvimavi and Twomlow, 2009; Nedunchezhiyan, 2010; Prasad et al., 2010).”
- Rural land rights reform and agro-environmental sustainability: Empirical evidence from China (2018, neutral): “Soil degradation is a major threat to agricultural productivity and food security in many developing countries (Bewket, 2007; Kassie et al., 2008; Mazvimavi and Twomlow, 2009).”
- Crop yield and weed growth under conservation agriculture in semi-arid Zimbabwe (2012, neutral): “…of a doubling in labor required for hand hoe weeding of maize and cotton grown under planting basins (Haggblade and Tembo, 2003) as well as increases in weeding intensity in minimum tillage compared to conventional mouldboard plough tillage (Baudron et al., 2007; Mazvimavi and Twomlow, 2009).”
- The farm-level economics of conservation agriculture for resource-poor farmers (2014, background): “The farmer may benefit more by using it for animal feed (Akpala and Ekbom, 2010; Mazvimavi and Twomlow, 2009; Jaleta et al., 2012) or as a fuel for burning for pest control, including weeds and rodents (Giller et al.”
