Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2021 The study investigated the compounding effects of a climate smart package based upon indigenous/traditional practices implemented by local farmers decades ago. The package comprised combinations of various practices such as mulch, no-tillage, tillage and

Is just considering texture enough to define compaction on the basis of soil density?
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2023 The bulk density values indicative of compaction in clayey soils correspond to a wide range of values (1.30-1.47 Mg m-3), due to the diverse types of soil management.

Non-inversion conservation tillage as an underestimated driver of tillage erosion [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractTillage erosion is a widely underestimated process initiating soil degradation especially in case of large agricultural fields located in rolling topography. It is often assumed that, conservation, non-inversion tillage causes less tillage erosion than conventional inversion tillage. In this study, tillage erosion was determined on three paired

The effect of three soil tillage treatments on weed infestation in forage maize
Acta Agrobotanica, 2019 This study assessed the impact of using soil tillage in maize crops on weed infestation intensity and weed species composition. A field experiment was established as a model example of livestock production management in drier climate conditions where ...

Tillage or no-tillage: Impact on mycorrhizae [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2005 Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous in agricultural soils. These fungi play important roles in plant nutrition and soil conservation. The persistence of AM fungi in ecosystems depends on the formation and survival of propagules (e.g., spore, hyphae and colonized roots).

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

Long term effects of different soil tillage systems on maize (Zea mays L.) yields
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011 The effects of three tillage systems: no-tillage (NT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT), and three levels of fertilization (0, 258 and 516 kg/ha NPK (58:18:24)), on the maize yield during ten years (1999-2008) were analyzed on the ...
