Summary

Notes are given on the effects of incorporation of direct grazing in systems of continuous zero tillage in western Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is concluded that incorporation of grazing with direct sowing practices in mixed production systems is feasible, with the aim of maintaining high levels of stubble cover. The removal of crop residues reduces the potential for conservation of soil water and attenuates the impact of trampling by animals.
