The biodiversity effect of reduced tillage on soil microbiota. [PDF]
Ambio, 2022 The conversion of natural habitats into farmland has been a leading cause of species loss worldwide. Here, we investigated to what extent less intensive soil disturbance can mitigate this loss. Specifically, we examined whether reduced soil disturbance by tillage in agricultural fields could contribute to soil microbial biodiversity by providing a ...

Reduced tillage and foliar application of Methylobacterium symbioticum synergistically improve yield and nutrient uptake in organic black barley. [PDF]
Sci RepSustainable nitrogen management remains a major challenge in organic farming, where plough-based tillage is commonly used to incorporate fertilizers and control weeds, limiting the adoption of reduced tillage systems.

Weed Control Using Conventional Tillage, Reduced Tillage, No-Tillage, and Cover Crops in Organic Soybean [PDF]
Agriculture, 2017 Soybean field experiments were performed to investigate the weed-suppressing effects of different tillage systems and cover crop mulches at two locations in southwest Germany during 2014 and 2015. The influence of three different tillage systems on weed control efficacy, soybean plant density, and crop yield was determined.
