註釋Conservation agriculture (CA) is an innovative type of sustainable agriculture which entails minimizing tillage, ensuring continuous soil covering, diverse cropping schemes as well as making efficient use of available resources. For example, CA in India has attained commendable progress during the last two decades especially in the rice wheat rotation, of the Indo-Gangetic plain. Although CA has many advantages such as reducing costs, water and nutrients saving better yield of crops, and environmental benefits, there are some drawbacks which restrain its application. There are many challenges including not having suitable seeders for the small-scale and medium farmers; crops residues competing for CA with livestock feed; burning of these residues hence destroying soil organic matter; inadequate labor force, and prevalent bias towards traditional tillage. Therefore, we recommend urgent policy building and planning to promote CA efficiently. The emerging issues arising from conventional agricultural systems, limitations, potentials, policies, and areas for further research towards the expansion of conservation agriculture in India are examined in this paper. This points out that governments, researchers, farmers and other organizations should work together in order to have successful application of conservation agriculture.
