Application of Unconventional Tillage Systems to Maize Cultivation and Measures for Rational Use of Agricultural Lands

open access: yesLand, 2023
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main agricultural crops grown worldwide under very diverse climate and soil conditions. For maize cultivation in a conventional tillage system, autumn plowing is a mandatory condition.

Short-term Conservation Tillage Effects on Corn Silage Yield and Soil Quality in an Irrigated, Arid Agroecosystem

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
A study was conducted in an irrigated arid agroecosystem in southwestern USA, to compare two conservation tillage systems (strip tillage (ST) and no-tillage (NT)) to conventional, plow-based tillage (PT) system.

No-tillage, Strip Tillage, Chisel Plow Tillage Trial

open access: yes, 2012
Materials and Methods This trial was conducted in 2011 with the strip-tillage and chisel plow tillage being applied in the falls of 2010 and 2011. In both the strip-tillage and chisel plow treatments, 200 lb N/acre was applied as anhydrous ammonia at the same time as tillage.

Water Erosion in a Long-Term Soil Management Experiment with a Humic Cambisol

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2017
Water erosion, the main factor in soil degradation, is strongly influenced by soil cover and management. The objective of this study was to determine soil and water losses under natural rainfall conditions from 1993 to 2012 in the southern Santa Catarina

Influence of physical attributes and pedotransfer function for predicting water retention in management systems

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of the soil structural physical attributes on the water retention and to develop pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for the estimation of the soil water content (θ) at different matric potentials of a ...

Growing-season soil microbial respiration response to long-term no tillage and spring ridge tillage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
No tillage (NT) and spring ridge tillage (SRT) are two common applications of conservation tillage. Although conservation tillage is known to exert major control over soil microbial respiration (SMR), the growing-season SMR response to these two ...
