International No-Till, Strip-Till and Cover Crops Research Journal - October 2025

Each month, the conservation ag group at Cornell University offers an analysis of the latest scientific papers dealing with conservation agriculture research from around the world. For this on-going web series, our editors will be selecting several research papers from the Cornell list that will be of special interest to North American no-tillers, strip-tillers and cover croppers.

In this edition:

  • Can the global drone revolution make agriculture more sustainable? Rapid growth in drone use is upending expectations but also inducing trade-offs.
  • Tillage and residue management modulate the links between soil physical signatures and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomarkers.
  • Mapping the conceptual and intellectual structure of soil health research (1996–2021): a terms co-occurrence and co-cited reference network analysis.
  • Suggestions for promoting SOC storage within the carbon farming framework: Analyzing the INFOSOLO database.
