Physical Properties of a Hapludox after Three Decades under Different Soil Management Systems

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2016
Changes in soil physical properties due to different management systems occur slowly, and long-term studies are needed to assess soil quality. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of soil management systems and liming methods on the ...

Barley, Soybean and Maize Production using Ridge Tillage, No-Tillage and Conventional Tillage in North-East Italy

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1995
Abstract Ridge tillage can be considered as an alternative to no-tillage in climates and environments which are not very favourable for the latter. It has been conceived almost exclusively for crops such as maize and soybean and this creates difficulties if small grains are introduced into a rotation based on the ridge tillage system.

EFFECT OF CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE ON YIELD AND PROTECTING ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES [PDF]

AgroLife Scientific Journal, 2015
Conservative soil tillage (minimum tillage and no-tillage) are considered among the most important components of conservation agriculture. Their research and extension was imposed especially in hilly areas with specific problems of desertification ...

Share of anthropophytes in the crop sequence: winter wheat – maize – spring wheat depending on tillage system

Acta Agrobotanica, 2014
An experiment, conducted over the period 2008–2010, evaluated the effect of tillage system on the occurrence and species composition of anthropophytes in winter wheat, maize and spring wheat.

Residue management induced changes in soil organic carbon and total nitrogen under different tillage practices in the North China Plain

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
Crop residue retention has been considered a practicable strategy to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN), but the effectiveness of residue retention might be different under varied tillage practices.

Carbon and nitrogen stocks and organic fractions in areas under different land uses in the cerrado

Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy
The replacement of native vegetation with nonnative vegetation for different land uses, which is a consequence of the intensification and expansion of agricultural production, significantly alters the dynamics of soil organic fractions.

Short-Term Effects of Differentiated Tillage on Dry Matter Production and Grain Yield of Autumn and Spring Sown Grain Legumes Grown Monocropped and Intercropped with Cereal Grains in Organic Farming

Plant Production Science, 2015
Conservation tillage techniques offer considerably reduced soil erosion and improved soil structure but they are rarely used in organic farming systems due to the potentially increased weed pressure.

Influence of soil tillage technology on tillage erosion

Research in Agricultural Engineering
Tillage-induced erosion has negative impacts on the soil environment and production of the soil under intensive farming. Tillage erosion was evaluated during soil tillage performed by two technologies, i.e. conventional tillage and reduced tillage, commonly used in the Czech Republic.

Three Years After Soybean-Cover-Crop Rotation in Conventional and No-Till Practices: What Are the Consequences on Soil Nitrous Oxide Emissions?

Nitrogen
Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas due to its long atmospheric lifespan (121 years) that results in a high global warming potential (GWP). Research has shown that no-tillage may be implemented as a mitigation strategy to reduce N2O emissions.

Effects of tillage and weed management on the vertical distribution of microclimate and grain yield in a winter wheat field

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2013
This paper presents results of a field study of the influence of tillage and weed on the vertical distribution of microclimate in the upper, middle, and deeper layers of a winter wheat population and grain yield during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 winter ...
