Evaluation of Long Term No-till Effects on Soil Fertility

The adoption of no-till seeding systems in western Canada has been driven by a variety of factors, moisture conservation and economic efficiency likely the major ones. This project was conducted to evaluate whether or not the conversion of fields to no-till has been shown to increase soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, as well as increasing soil water use efficiency by crops.
