Further to Peter’s comment, (first one above) about experiences with conservation agriculture – including zero-tillage – please see FAO’s new book on sustainable intensification, “Save and Grow in practice: maize, rice, wheat”. Would particularly recommend the study on CA in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (page 58) and Kazakhstan (p. 75) For Africa, see the study on maize/agroforestry in southern Africa (p.71).
