Abstract:
      Conservation tillage has been shown as a wind and water erosion reduction technology for improving ecological environment.Researches for many years in developed countries show that conservation tillage is a very important practice to reduce cost and increase productivity efficiency.Conservation tillage technology has been practiced for more than 10 years in China,the demonstration and extension of conservation tillage was developed 4 years ago.However the conservation tillage acre is still less than 10% of the total planted acre,which cannot meet the requirement of extension.This paper reviewed the different characters on the management and application between America and China.Some points for successfully realizing sustainable agricultural development were emphasized,such as policy supporting of the government,changing the conception from tradition tillage to conservation tillage,and the conservation tillage equipment/ tool development.It is necessary to accelerate the extension pace of the conservation tillage in china.
