摘要: In the agricultural Altai Krai in Russian Siberia, soil degradation problems are prevalent. Agronomists recommend "reduced tillage systems," especially no-till, as a sustainable way to cultivate land that is threatened by degradation. Krai, less known about technologies practice. this paper, we provide information on plant cultivation used and selected factors preventing farm managers region from adopting no-till technology based our own quantitative survey conducted across 107 farms 2015 2016. The results of show have high uncertainty regarding use including its economics. To close gap, systematic analysis influencing economy production systems using optimization model (linear programming) for real farm, together with expert estimations. farm-specific under optimal management climatic conditions, Modern Canadian outperforms min-till technology, but not case suboptimal conditions lower yields.
