Productivity limits and potentials of the principles of conservation agriculture

TL;DR: A global meta-analysis using 5,463 paired yield observations from 610 studies to compare no-till, the original and central concept of conservation agriculture, with conventional tillage practices across 48 crops and 63 countries indicates that the potential contribution of no-Till to the sustainable intensification of agriculture is more limited than often assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI

When does no-till yield more? A global meta-analysis

TL;DR: The authors conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the influence of various crop and environmental variables on no-till relative to conventional tillage yields using data obtained from peer-reviewed publications (678 studies with 6005 paired observations, representing 50 crops and 63 countries).
Journal ArticleDOI

An agronomic assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from major cereal crops

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a meta-analysis to test the hypothesis that the global warming potential (GWP) of CH4 and N2O emissions from rice, wheat, and maize, when expressed per ton of grain (yield-scaled GWP), is similar, and that the lowest value for each cereal is achieved at near optimal yields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fertilizer management practices and greenhouse gas emissions from rice systems: A quantitative review and analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an exhaustive search of peer-reviewed field studies that compared various side-by-side fertilizer management options to determine average treatment effects of management practices on both CH 4 and N 2 O emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yield-scaled global warming potential of annual nitrous oxide and methane emissions from continuously flooded rice in response to nitrogen input

TL;DR: In this article, a two-year on-farm experiment was conducted from 2010-2012 to test the hypothesis that optimal N rates result in maximum agronomic productivity and minimal yield-scaled GWP in water-seeded rice systems experiencing continuously flooded conditions during the growing season and fallow period.
