"This second edition contains 19 chapters focusing on notillage technologies, particularly those related to notillage seed drilling, from a variety of accumulated experiences over the past 40 years. It also provides a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of notillage in general. Topics added or covered in more detail include: (i) soil carbon and how its retention or sequestration interacts with tillage; (ii) controlled traffic farming as an adjunct to notillage; (iii) a comparison of the performance of generic notillage opener designs; (iv) the role of banding fertilizer in notillage; (v) the economics of notillage; (vi) equipment used by smallscale farmers; (vii) forage cropping by notillage; (viii) a method for risk assessment of different levels of machine sophistication. This book represents a major resource for practitioners and academics in agronomy, soil science and agricultural engineering."@en

"This book is a much-expanded and updated edition of a previous volume, published in 1996 as ""No-tillage Seeding: Science and Practice"". The base objective remains to describe, in lay terms, a range of international experiments designed to examine the causes of successes and failures in no-tillage. The book summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of no tillage. It highlights the pros and cons of a range of features and options, without promoting any particular product. Topics added or covered in more detail in the second edition include:· soil carbon and how its retention or sequestration."@en
"The 'what' and 'why' of no-tillage farming. The benefits of no-tillage. The nature of risk in no-tillage. Seeding openers and slot shape. The role of slot cover. Drilling into dry soils. Drilling into wet soils. Seed depth, placement and metering. Fertilizer placement. Residue handling. Comparing surface disturbance and low-disturbance disc openers. No-tillage for forage production. No-tillage drill and planter design: large-scale machines. No-tillage drill and planter design: small-scale machines. Managing a no-tillage seeding system. Controlled-traffic farming as a complementary practice to no-tillage. Reduced environmental emissions and carbon sequestration. Some economic comparisons. Procedures for development and technology transfer."
