No-Till, Strip-Till and Cover Crops Research Journal - April 2026

Each month, the conservation ag group at Cornell University offers an analysis of the latest scientific papers dealing with conservation agriculture research from around the world. For this on-going web series, our editors will be selecting several research papers from the Cornell list that will be of special interest to North American no-tillers, strip-tillers and cover croppers.

In this edition:

  • Conservation Agriculture: Helping to Return to Within Planetary Boundaries
  • Soil Structure Changes Under Reduced Tillage and Cover Cropping Enhance Carbon Mineralization in Mediterranean Croplands
  • Cover Cropping Increases the Abundance of Mycorrhizal and Endophytic Fungi Structures Associated with Ecosystem Functioning
  • Conservation Agriculture: A Review of Plant Residue use with Zero Tillage and Crop Rotation
  • Unlocking Climate Resilience by Exploring the Mitigation Potential of Improved Rotation with Cover Cropping
