Soil and water impacts around re‐introduction of manure into farming systems
Abstract This case study seeks to assess the long‐term impact of manure usage on soil health and water under on‐farm conditions. Explicitly, we concurrently monitored nutrient concentrations in shallow groundwater (nitrogen and phosphorus) and related in‐field soil health indicators (permanganate oxidizable carbon, mineralizable C, and autoclaved ...

Nitrogen mineralization and phosphorus solubization due to rewetting of forest and paddy soils
Rewetting of soils may cause an increase in phosphorus solubilization and nitrogen mineralization resulting in the release of bioavailable phosphates and nitrate which are vital for crop growth but are also associated with eutrophication of surface ...

Comparisons of organic and conventional maize and tomato cropping systems from a long-term experiment in California [PDF]
Yield differences and trends, organic matter accumulation, and the loss of nutrients to deeper soil horizons are discussed using data from organic and conventional maize/tomato cropping systems from the Long Term Research on Agricultural Systems Project (

Beneficial management practices to stabilize Canadian wheat yield in a changing climate
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) remains a major staple crop, which is vulnerable to abiotic and biotic stresses that can be compounded by climate change. This review assesses the projected effects of climate change on wheat production globally with an emphasis on the Canadian Prairies.

Nitrogen management in organic horticultural rotation [PDF]
A field crop rotation with a cover crop of hairy vetch (Vicia sativa, L.) and rye (Secale cereale, L.)followed by potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa, L.)was set up with the aim of improving nitrogen (N) management for organic ...
