ABSTRACT
Conservation agriculture is a good management practice to conserve the elemental properties of soil and to augment production and productivity. However, any such technology or practice that is to be adopted by farmers will always be seen through the financial lens. Unless a farmer is certain that the adopted technique will be profitable, it is likely that the practice will be shunned. Therefore, economic considerations become absolutely important keeping in mind the suitability of adoption of the technology by the farming community. This chapter discusses the economic considerations of all such methods of crop residue management, and mechanization of farms, which would be helpful to the reader to better inform farmers or to carry out better analysis.
