Tillage practices in the north west region of Cameroon and their consequences on soil physio-chemical properties - a review

International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology
Tillage practices make up one of the most essential operations executed on the soil during crop production. They manipulate the soil by mechanical means using tools, implements, and powered machinery with the intention to prepare the soil and make it ...

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

Subtropical maize production and soil microbial communities show minimal response to earthworm bio-tillage

Scientific Reports
Conservation tillage has become an increasingly important practice for addressing soil degradation in agricultural systems, but its effectiveness on crop production remains uncertain, especially under humid conditions.

TARGETING AND THE ECONOMICS OF CUMULATIVE WATERSHED EFFECTS [PDF]

This study empirically investigates environmental benefits at the watershed level from conservation practices, which are typically non-linear. A conservation tillage adoption model is linked to the Soil and Water Assessment Tool model to examine the ...

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

MEETING THE KYOTO TARGET THROUGH CONSERVATION TILLAGE AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR NATURAL CAPITAL MAINTENANCE, PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY, AND SUSTAINABILITY [PDF]

According to Article 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol, agricultural soil could be used as a sink for carbon sequestration and hence it may provide an alternative venue to sequester the greenhouse gas emission.

Influence of notillage on carbon sequestration and erosion in Brazil [PDF]

, 2004
Les sols constituent le plus gros réservoir superficiel de C (hors les roches carbonatées), environ 1500 Gt C, ce qui équivaut à presque trois fois la quantité stockée dans la biomasse terrestre, et deux fois celle de l'atmosphère.

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention
