6.4.4 Systems Approach to Conservation Tillage Conservation tillage is a package of cultural practices that are specifically developed to conserve soil and water resources, sustain high and satisfactory returns and minimize soil and environmental degradation. Conservation tillage systems should be adapted to fit Figure 21 Conservation Tillage – A Systems Approach the needs of soil and water conservation in the region. Figure 21 shows the interrelationship between conservation tillage and cultural practices that is required for the successful agricultural management of the soil surface that improves rather than degrades this natural resource.
