Manual Conservation Agriculture Tillage Systems 10 reducing soil loss, improving water conservation and practicing farming methods that are sustainable and less damaging to the overall environment. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines conservation agriculture as “a way of farming that conserves, improves and makes more. This Manual is based on the Training Course for Soil Management and Conservation, focused particularly on efficient tillage methods for soil conservation, held at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ibadan, Nigeria from 21 April to 1 May It was jointly organized by IITA and FAO with the participation of specialists from both national and international organizations.

and minimum tillage is an effective method of soil and water conservation. Soil management Inappropriate land use activities often cause changes in soil conditions, which in turn contribute to soil erosion. Soil management is to create optimum conditions for plant growth through improved soil fertility and structure. This Manual is based on the Training Course for Soil Management and Conservation, focused particularly on efficient tillage methods for soil conservation, held at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ibadan, Nigeria from 21 April to 1 May It was jointly organized by IITA and FAO with the participation of specialists from both national and international organizations. Soil conservation stores more of the runoff from excess rainfall in the reservoir of the soil for subsequent crop use; and this much water is kept out of streams, thereby contributing to flood reduction. Today these techniques of soil and water conservation are being prac- ticed in many countries with much benefit to great numbers of people.
