Abstract: 【Objective】Conservation tillage (CT) also be referred to as resource-efficient / resource effective agriculture，it is primarily used as a means to protect soils from erosion and compaction, to conserve moisture and reduce production costs, have become the most important measures of sustainable agriculture development. Research advances in the conservation tillage of china on recent years were reviewed in this paper.【Method】Based on papers published, the current researches progress on conservation tillage (CT) of crop production in china were summarized and analyzed. All these aspects are reviewed but detailed information of conservation tillage is spares and disparate from China studies.【Result】It was showed that conservation tillage is a relatively new concept but widely adopted in china and had considerable benefits. Since studies have been conducted at the catchment scale, therefore some findings must be treated with caution until the can be verified at a larger scale and for a greater range of climatic, cropping and soil conditions.【Conclusion】Conservation tillage should be put forward in order to establish reasonable policy of agricultural management. It necessary using integrated system analysis methodologies, by means of long-term field and theoretical experience, and the developed modeling approaches with interdisciplinary knowledge, to enhance research strength and level for improving and promoting sustainable agricultural.
