Argentina, world leader in no-till agriculture
2009 CE • Argentina
"No-tillage is practiced on around 80% of the country's cropland area (more than 25 million hectares in 2009) and is particularly associated with soybean (80% of cultivated area), maize (72%), and wheat (60%). No-tillage techniques, adopted widely for cereals and oilseeds around the country, have improved water use efficiency and reduced soil erosion. These benefits can be maximized if complemented with diversification, adequate fertilization and rotations."
