Sarah Duddigan,Chris D. Collins,Zakir Hussain,Henny Osbahr,Liz J. Shaw,Fergus Sinclair,Tom Sizmur,V. Thallam,Leigh A. Winowiecki +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present the first 'on-the-ground' assessment of zero budget natural farming (ZBNF) performance and show that there is no short-term yield penalty when adopting ZBNF in small scale farming systems compared to conventional and organic alternatives.
Natural farming improves crop yield in SE India when compared to conventional or organic systems by enhancing soil quality

TL;DR: In this paper , controlled field experiments were established in twenty-eight farms across six districts, spanning over 800 km, over three cropping seasons, and the authors compared ZBNF (no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, home-made inputs comprising desi cow dung and urine with mulch) to conventional (synthetic fertilisers and pesticides) and organic (no synt pesticides or fertilizer, no mulch, purchased organic inputs, e.g. farmyard manure and vermicompost) treatments, all with no tillage.

Effects of application of horticultural soil amendments on decomposition, quantity, stabilisation and quality of soil carbon
TL;DR: In this paper , a controlled field experiment that has received annual applications of six different horticultural soil amendments for seven consecutive years was examined in terms of their contribution to bulk C and the distribution of C between theoretical pools, as defined by physical fractionation.
The extent and applications of metal accumulation and hyperaccumulation in Philippine plants
TL;DR: This study reviews metal hyperaccumulation in 28 Philippine plant species, identifying 11 endemic species, and examines metal partitioning within plant tissue, with implications for phytoextraction using native flora for nickel and copper remediation.
