conversion to minimum tillage can maintain crop productivity and improve
soil fertility. The combination of the moldboard plow and minimum tillage
can be efficient in crop rotation with perennial legumes and grasses and with
sufficient application of FYM or other supplementary sources of organic
fertilizers.
8. Integration of optimal systems of soil tillage and fertilization in the frame-
work of crop rotation with perennial legumes and grasses allows significant
reduction of production costs by cutting the use of nitrogen from mineral
fertilizers; irrigation; and chemicals for weed, pest, and disease control.
