Article Synopsis
- Rainfed agriculture in semi-arid regions faces challenges due to unpredictable rainfall, leading to low yields from traditional farming methods.
- Research conducted between 2013 and 2020 in Queretaro, Mexico, compared conservation agriculture practices—like permanent beds and crop rotations—against conventional tillage for maize cultivation.
- Results showed that maize grown on permanent beds yielded significantly better—averaging 3,717 kg/ha, which is 70% higher than conventional methods—while the most profitable strategy involved rotating maize with beans.
