By utilizing techniques such as minimum tillage and crop residue retention, these researchers increased crop yields and improved soil quality. This study implies that adopting conservation agriculture practices throughout India could have larger implications for food security in this region, as well as for the mitigation of climate change through soil carbon accumulation in the soil.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightCarbon sequestrationConservation agricultureSoil managementSoil fertilitySoil qualityFood securityConservation tillageSoil organic matterNorth eastern region of indiaResource conservation techniqueResidue managementCrop yieldsMinimum tillageConservation tillageZero tillageSoil organic carbonBiomass productionSoil carbon sequestrationFarm/Enterprise Scale Field ScaleAbstractCopyright 2010 Current Science
