However, it also requires the use of chemical herbicides. This publication provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities associated with organic conservation tillage. Winter-kill cover crops, timeliness of rolling/crimping, and advances in no-till machinery are covered with a realistic perspective in this segment of the series: Twelve Steps Toward Ecological Weed Management in Organic Vegetables.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightSoil managementSoil conservationConservation tillageSoil organic matterOrganic farmingAgricultural ecosystemsBeneficial insectsMulchCover cropsMechanized plantingStrip tillRidge tillShallow tillReduced-tillage systemField ScaleAbstractCopyright 2011 eXtension.
