Abstract
One of the long-term remedy in view of the natural resources depletion in agricultural means and degradation of the environment has been identified as conservation of agricultural systems with proper crop and soil management packages. In this paper the significance of agricultural conservation and its connection to environmental changes worldwide are considered. Growing interest in sustainable agriculture has been viewed as a constructive reaction in terms of both intensive contemporary agriculture, which depends on large inputs for crop production, and low-input, conventional agriculture. Conservation agriculture (CA) strives to increase crop productivity and sustainability by reestablishing soil fertility, utilizing the three principles of crop namely rotation, minimal soil disturbance, and surface crop residue retention. With the help of these technologies, agricultural systems may sustain high productivity as well as biodiversity conservation which in turn leads environmental protection. The physical health of the soil must be maintained at its highest level in order to grow crops sustainably and utilize natural resources without degrading their quality.CA methods may improve soil WHC by modifying the pore size distribution (PSD) and increasing the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC).Conservation agriculture (CA), that is considered as a sustainable strategy, can improve ecosystem services and environmental quality while preserving or increasing agricultural output. Individuals involved in the agricultural production and supply chain must be empowered and involved for sustainable agricultural development (SAD). Hence CA can be considered to be more environmentally responsible and sustainable method of crop management.
