Experience with minimum tillage and nitrogen fertilization
Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1970 In long-term experiments with spring wheat, potatoes and sugar beet on ploughed or unploughed river clay soil, yield differences and differences in response to fertilizers were tentatively explained in terms of the limited size and activity of the root systems in the unploughed plots.

Comparison of No-tillage, Minimum, and Full Tillage Cultural Practices on Peanuts [PDF]
Peanut Science, 1987 Abstract The no-tillage system for peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) was investigated from 1978 to 1981 in comparison with minimum and full tillage. Difficulty in controlling weeds, soil compaction, and reduced yields were problems associated with no-tillage peanut culture.

Minimum tillage and vegetable crop rotation
Agrociencia, 2012 Soil quality improvement by reducing soil tillage is one tool of sustainable agriculture. Covers crops left on soil surface prevent soil erosion, reduces evapotranspiration and weeds, and improves soil infi ltration; key factors for a successful vegetable production on heavy clay soils. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of cover
