Research on minimum tillage, no-tillage and mulching systems and its effects in China

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 1996
Minimum tillage, no-tillage and mulching have been broadly used in modern Chinese agricultural production in the past 20 years. The application area has reached 12.34 million hectares, and a corn, soybean, rape, wheat, peanut and rice have been involved in these tillage systems.

Water Infiltration Under No-tillage, Minimum Tillage and Conventional Tillage Systems on a Sandy Loam Alfisols

2004, Ottawa, Canada August 1 - 4, 2004, 2004
A study was conducted on a tropical Alfisols on the Teaching and Research Farms of University of Ibadan in order to determine the effect of three tillage (no-tillage, minimum and conventional tillage) systems on infiltration of water in the soil. The experiment was a split-plot design with three replications.

Concentrations of Herbicides in Wetlands on Organic and Minimum‐Tillage Farms

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2018
Wetlands are abundant throughout the agricultural landscape of central Saskatchewan, Canada, and the biota present in these wetlands may be vulnerable to the toxic effects of pesticides used on nearby crops. We hypothesized that herbicide concentrations would be higher in wetlands on minimum‐tillage farms than on organic (no herbicide use) farms, and ...

Economic analysis of no tillage and minimum tillage cotton-corn rotations in the Mississippi Delta

Soil and Tillage Research, 2009
Abstract Crop rotations have been shown to have agronomic benefits. An increasingly common crop rotation in the Mid-South is cotton rotated with corn. Many previous studies have focused on tillage systems or crop rotations. Few have evaluated a combination of the two (crop rotations and tillage) especially from an economics perspective.

Landownership and the Adoption of Minimum Tillage: Comment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1985
In a recent paper, Lee and Stewart (hereafter LS) estimated adoption of minimum tillage as a function of land tenure, farm size, and erosion hazard. They concluded that full-owner operators and owners of smaller farms have lower adoption rates than do other groups.

Minimum tillage and residue retention increase soil microbial population size and diversity: Implications for conservation tillage

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
A global meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of conservation tillage practices on soil microbial population size [based on microbial count and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) measurements], diversity (Shannon index), and microbial community structure.

MINIMUM TILLAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUMMERFALLOW IN WESTERN CANADA

Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 1967
Experiments at seven locations in Western Canada between 1956 and 1961 indicated that three or four tillage operations were usually enough for satisfactory weed control on summerfallow, and generally provided highest yields of grain. Two tillage operations were not sufficient.

Intensive Crop Rotation Yield and Economic Performance in Minimum Tillage and No Tillage in Northeastern Oregon

Crop Management, 2011
In the intermediate annual precipitation zone (14 to 18 inches) of northeastern Oregon, there is interest in increasing the intensity of cropping with spring crops. Mechanical tillage remains popular for seedbed preparation and weed control, but contributes to environmental problems and high labor and fuel cost.

Minimum tillage and no-tillage effects on VSA indicators at different pedoclimatic zones in Europe and China

2023
Under the H2020 project iSQAPER, 29 sites with min-till and 12 with no-till practices were identified across 7 and 5 pedoclimatic zones, respectively. These fields/plots were paired with nearby control fields/plots, sharing similar farming features but cultivated using topsoil inversion tillage.
