Carbon sequestration in a tilled and untilled maize field in Lesotho, Southern Africa

Abstract

This presentation was given at the Soil Science Society of America annual meeting on October 19th, 2011 in San Antonio Texas at 10:05 in the morning. No-till agriculture was practiced in Lesotho, Southern Africa, while observing the amount of carbon emissions in the atmosphere during the growing season. Comparisons were made between land under no-till and crop rotation management and land practicing plowed.
