Comparison of Conventional and Minimal Tillage for Low-Input Pasture Improvement

Summary:Much has been published on the effectiveness of seeding by minimal-tillage methods, but the focus of work has been on minimal tillage as an alternative to conventional cultivation and sowing for establishment of annual crops. Less attention has been given to its impact on pastures or on its value in low-input pasture systems, where resource constraints make reduced cultivation and infrequent reseeding especially desirable. This literature review assesses the value of minimum tillage for pasture improvement and its particular application in low-input systems.
