Intensive farming methods can harm the environment, so scientists studied how conservation agriculture can help. They tested different ways of tilling the soil, keeping crop residue, and managing water for growing corn and wheat. The results showed that minimum tillage and keeping some crop residue led to better crop yields and plant growth. Water stress also affected the crops, with less water leading to lower seed weight. Overall, using conservation agriculture methods like minimum tillage and keeping crop residue can help improve crop productivity and soil health.
