This book is a rich collection of resource-conserving opportunities and new approaches for anyone wanting to tackle complex natural resource management and environmental issues and produce more at less costs within the Green Revolution tracts of South Asia. Improved tillage and crop establishment practices, especially for rice, show real potential for sustainably improving the productivity and profitability of rice-wheat systems. Reduced and zero tillage can improve yields, raise input-use efficiency, reduce the intensity of machinery use and lower production costs.
