Stubble Over the Soil: The Vital Role of Plant Residue in Soil Management to Improve Soil Quality

An in-depth look at no-till applications through the eyes of Chilean farmer, Carlos Crovetto. Mr. Crovetto was able to renovate his soils and obtain high wheat and corn yields using no-till and adequate fertilizers. The soil not only recuperated, but became far more productive than the original soil. This book combines a thorough treatment of the science of soil management with many personal experiences. An enjoyable read or great for the classroom, it also includes many color photographs and a glossary.
