No-tillage for pasture renovation in the Amazon.
Productive and well-managed pastures, besides ensuring the profitability of livestock activities, protect the soil against erosion and compaction, maintain their biological activity and increase the levels of organic matter and carbon in the soil. Pasture degradation is a persistent problem in Brazilian livestock and will only be solved when the rate of recovery and reform exceeds the rate of degradation. Traditionally, degraded pastures are improved by planting forage in soil prepared with plows and harrows. However, this process increases the vulnerability of the soil to erosion, especially in areas with fragile soils or in sloping terrain. In the Amazon, due to the rainy climate, this risk is even greater, impairing future pasture productivity
