Carbon and Nitrogen Content of Soil Organic Matter and Microbial Biomass under Long-Term Crop Rotation and Tillage in Illinois, USA

Agriculture, 2018
Crop rotation and tillage alter soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics by influencing the soil environment and microbes carrying out C and N cycling. Our goal was to evaluate the effect of long-term crop rotation and tillage on the quantity of C and N stored

Herbicide Efficacy of Spot Spraying Systems in Fallow and Postharvest in the Pacific Northwest Dryland Wheat Production Region

Plants, 2021
Real-time spot spraying technology has the potential to reduce herbicide costs and slow herbicide resistance. However, few studies exist on the efficacy of this technology in the Pacific Northwest (PNW).

La diffusion du semis direct au Brésil, diversité des pratiques et logiques territoriales : l’exemple de la région d’Itaipu au Paraná

Confins, 2011
No-till or direct seeding is a production system based on non-ploughing. It incorporates a range of farming practices that protect agricultural soils from erosion, reduce fuel consumption and could increase crop yields.

Autumn Tillage Reduces the Effect of Plant Cover on Topsoil Nitrogen Leaching

Nitrogen, 2022
Keeping cover crops to reduce nitrogen leaching often conflicts with timing tillage operations before the soil becomes un-trafficable during winter, while leaving cover crops in the field until spring raises concerns over pre-emptive competition with the

Soil depth, water availability and wheat yield in the austral pampa of Argentina [PDF]

Ciencia del Suelo, 2020
SUMMARY The influence of soil depth (SD) on the content of available water at sowing (AWS), in November (AWN) and crop yield (YLD) was studied in a wheat monoculture under no-till in the semi-arid region of Buenos Aires province, Argentina.

Competition of Plants and Microorganisms for Added Nitrogen in Different Fertilizer Forms in a Semi-Arid Climate

Agronomy, 2021
In nitrogen (N) -limited agricultural systems, a high microbial immobilization of applied fertilizer-N can limit its availability to plants. However, there is scarce information on the effect of the form of fertilizer used on the plant–microorganism ...
