ADOPCIÓN DE INNOVACIONES TECNOLÓGICAS PARA LA AGRICULTURA DE CONSERVACIÓN EN EL CULTIVO DEL ARROZ EN CUBA

Abstract

Cuban agriculture, to achieve the sustainability of agricultural systems, needs to initiate a transition process towards conservation agriculture practices; which implies a change in production systems and the technologies they use. Specifically designed machinery is required, capable of operating in untilled soil and with crop residues or cover plants in different forms and situations. In this article, a review of the main innovations to be made in agricultural machinery to be used in a conservation agriculture system in rice agroecosystems is presented.
