No-tillage, Strip Tillage, Chisel Plow Tillage Trial
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
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

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