EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SOIL TILLAGE SYSTEMS ON NODULATION AND YIELD OF SOYBEAN [PDF]

open access: yesPoljoprivreda, 2005
The primary soil tillage for different crops in Croatia is generally based on mouldboard ploughing which is the most expensive for crops production. Negative effects due to frequent passes by equipment and machines (deterioration of soil structure, soil ...

Enhancing the Tribological Performance of PLA via Process‐Induced Functional Grading in Masked Stereolithography

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
An exposure‐time‐controlled MSLA fabrication strategy enabling filler‐free functionally graded polymers, resulting in up to a 62% reduction in specific wear rate. ABSTRACT Masked stereolithography (MSLA) enables high‐resolution fabrication of photopolymer components; however, the limited tribological performance of neat resins restricts their ...

Nitrogen and phosphorus leakage in ecological recycling agriculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this report we quantify nitrogen and phosphorus leakage on three farms in the BERAS project. The study is based on direct measurements of nitrogen and phosphorus concentration in drainage water and water flow ...

Open‐land‐derived agroforestry and effects of abandonment of management of the main crop on ecosystem services and woody plant diversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Soil nitrate N as influenced by annually undersown cover crops in spring cereals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Cover crops can reduce leaching and erosion, introduce variability into crop rotations and fix nitrogen (N) for use by the main crops. In Finland, undersowing is a suitable method for establishing cover crops in cereals.

Josephson Junctions defined by a Nano-Plough

open access: yes, 1998
We define superconducting constrictions by ploughing a deposited Aluminum film with a scanning probe microscope. The microscope tip is modified by electron beam deposition to form a nano-plough of diamond-like hardness, what allows the definition of ...

Relationship between food quality and body size of common vole in different habitats

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The body size of the common vole in crop fields (alfalfa, rape, cereals) is larger than in less‐cultivated habitats (forests, clearings, set‐aside) and is not related to food quality. Abstract BACKGROUND There is a close relationship between habitat, food and demographic parameters of common vole populations.

Example of an iterative approach conducted with smallholders in Northern Laos for the adoption of direct seeding mulch-based cropping systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Since the 1990s, in the southern districts of Xayabury province in the Mekong corridor, traditional farming systems have changed through extensive agricultural development based on cash-crop production.

Community composition, abundance and activity‐density of carabids and staphylinids depend on prey abundance and adjacent habitat even in diverse agricultural landscapes

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Carabid and staphylinid communities are shaped by adjacent habitat type, prey availability and landscape context, influencing natural pest control across agricultural landscapes. Abstract BACKGROUND The functioning of agroecosystems depends on key ecosystem processes that deliver ecosystem services, yet agricultural management has increasingly shifted ...

Status of Soil Health Indicators after 18 Years of Systematic Tillage in a Long-Term Experiment

open access: yesAgronomy
Long-term cultivation experiments are gaining more attention due to the possibility of following the changes in soil parameters (e.g., soil organic carbon (SOC), stock and soil health indicators, etc.).
