Description Agricultural sustainability implies an increasing trend in per capita productivity to meet the present needs without jeoparadizing the future potentials. Soil tillage, soil surface management to alleviate soil related constraints to crop production is a basic and an important input with short and long term effects on sustainability. An important effect of soil tillage on sustainability is through its impact on the environment e.g. soil degradation, water quality, emission of green house gases from soil related processes etc. The need to attain agricultural sustainability is particularly urgent in several tropical eco-regions and soils of low carrying capacity in the tropics. Soil tillage influence agricultural sustainability through its effects on soil processes, soil properties and crop growth. Appropriate tillage systems are soil and crop specific and their adoption is governed by both biophysical and socio-economic factors. In addition to increasing crop yields, tillage methods must also facilitate soil and water conservation, improve root system development, maintain a favourable level of soil organic matter content and reverse degradative trends in the soils life support processes (Lal, 1991).
