Multicriteria Analysis of the Effects of Field Burning Crop Residues

open access: yesNotulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2014
Burning crop residues is frequently used by Romanian land users to clean agricultural fields after crop harvest for ease in post-harvest soil tillage. Huge amounts of crop residues biomass, on very large areas, were burned in Romania in the last twenty ...

Harvesting crop residues for alcohol production

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1980
An estimated 7 to 15 percent of energy now used in California could come from cellulosic biomass, if fully utilized. From 20 to 35 million tons of this underutilized residue from forest and farming operations are produced annually in California ...

Dispersion is essential in crop residue application [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2020
Background Crop residue application can maintain soil fertility and sustain agriculture. However, the effects of residue application are unstable because of variable weather conditions and the residual effects of crop residue application. Furthermore, residue application often reduces crop yields.

Research with nitrogen fertilizer emphasizes fertilize crop—not crop residue

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1968
1. Results of field experiments indicate that it is more efficient and effective to apply nitrogen to the crop than to previous crop residues months ahead of planting the crop. 2.

Poultry-Based Amendments and Cover Crop Residues Enhance Nutrient Cycling and Soil Health in Greenhouse Conditions

open access: yesHorticulturae
Organic producers have few certified organic options to meet crop nitrogen (N) demand. Poultry-based amendments, including manures and processed fertilizers from livestock waste (e.g., feather meal), are commonly used in these systems, but synchronizing ...

Influence of tillage depth of a cultivator on the incorporation of crop residues of winter barley in a chernozem soil

open access: yesDie Bodenkultur, 2019
Although crop residues contribute to erosion control, the influence of the tillage depth (TD) on their incorporation has not been studied extensively.

Nitrogen Transfer from Cover Crop Residues to Onion Grown under Minimum Tillage in Southern Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2017
Nitrogen derived from cover crop residues may contribute to the nutrition of onion grown under minimum tillage (MT) and cultivated in rotation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the N transferred from different cover crop residues to the onion crop ...
