Effect of tillage practices on least limiting water range in Northwest India [PDF]
Abstract Tillage practices affect mechanical and hydrological characteristics of soil and subsequently the least limiting water range. This quality indicator under the wheat-maize system of northwest India has not been studied yet. The treatments included four tillage modes, namely conventional tillage, no-tillage without residue, no-tillage with ...

Least limiting water range in assessing compaction in a Brazilian Cerrado latosol growing sugarcane [PDF]
In the south-central region of Brazil, there is a trend toward reducing the sugarcane inter-harvest period and increasing traffic of heavy harvesting machinery on soil with high water content, which may intensify the compaction process. In this study, we

Effects of water table management on least limiting water range and potato root growth
Abstract Soil physical quality indicator, Least Limiting Water Range (LLWR) is the range of soil water content, where water, oxygen and mechanical resistance are not limiting factors to root growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate LLWR, soil water availability, potato root growth and tuber yield under different water table management ...

Least limiting water range in Oxisol under two conservation tillage systems in sugarcane farming
The Least Limiting Water Range (LLWR) is an indicator of soil physical quality, contributing in information to propose soil management systems in agricultural farming process. This work aimed to assess the usage of LLWR and critical soil bulk density for

Effect of Organic and Chemical Conditioners on Aggregate Stability, Least Limiting Water Range and Integral Water Capacity under Wheat Cultivation in Saline Soils [PDF]
IntroductionSoil salinity has a negative effect on physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. Salinity also affects the relationships between soil and plants, which in turn has a significant effect on plant growth. One of the solutions used to
