Abstract Full Conservation Agriculture is the combination of soil management principles of Soil Cover, Crop Rotation and Zero Tillage. The benefits seen in full conservation farming are: economical-early crop planting, time saving and less labor requirement; agronomical-increased organic matter, improved soil structure, improved water and nutrient use efficiency, increased and sustained crop production, reduction in erosion, reduced greenhouse emission and biodiversity increment. ?
