What are some dryland cropping system practices that contribute to water conservation?

0

Reduced, minimum, and no-tillage planting systems have all been proven to be effective ways to conserve water under dryland cropping conditions. It is generally agreed among agronomists, soil scientists, and dryland cropping systems specialists that each tillage or land disturbance operation associated with dryland cropping results in a moisture loss to evaporation of as much as ½” equivalent depth. This amount of moisture translates to 13,000 to 14,000 gallons of water per acre.
