Conservation tillage will become

aggregation and tilth. Too much
tillage, however, will result in
breakdown of soil tilth more rapidly
than aggregates can be created and
stabilized. It will also dry out the
soil, so for weed control it must be
balanced with cover cropping and
mulching. •
Conservation tillage is critical, but
traditional no -till systems may not
actually be the best for balancing all
these needs. Although no -till is
probably the, most moisture
conserving, the organic matter
increases may not be composed of
fractions that contribute to the soil
aggregate formation and stability.
The reliance on herbicides in no -
till systems is also problematic, since
herbicides are Tess effective in dry
conditions. Mechanical tillage,
although contributing to soil drying,
is still often a more effective strategy
than herbicides under droughty
conditions. No -till systems are also
known to channel water (mostly
through earthworm channels) quickly
out of the root zones, making the
water less available.
Agro forestry: Forest cover is
extremely important for maintaining
water cycles. However, farmers
often feel that financial pressures
force them to over -harvest from
forested areas on the farm, or
eliminate them altogether. Many feel
