Reduced tillage as an alternative to no-tillage under Mediterranean conditions: A case study

Soil and Tillage Research, 2014
Most farmers in SW Spain usually apply traditional tillage (TT) with soil inversion to avoid potential problems of soil compaction after repeated application of no tillage (NT). NT might cause some difficulties for soil workability and crop development derived from the original soil conditions, and, consequently, other tillage options are evaluated ...

Long-term adoption of reduced tillage and green manure improves soil physicochemical properties and increases the abundance of beneficial bacteria in a Mediterranean rainfed almond orchard

Geoderma, 2023
Soil health and function is one of the most important components for sustainable management of woody orchards. Intensive use of machinery and tillage creates heavy pressure on agroecosystems by altering the soil physicochemical and biological ...

Reduced tillage in organic farming affects soil organic carbon stocks in temperate Europe

Soil and Tillage Research, 2022
For decades, conservation tillage has been promoted as a measure to increase carbon stocks in arable soils. Since organic farming improves soil quality and soil carbon storage, reduced tillage under organic farming conditions may further enhance this ...

Impact of reduced tillage on greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon stocks in an organic grass-clover ley - winter wheat cropping sequence

Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2017
Highlights • First study comparing climate impacts of tillage systems in organic arable farming.• No tillage system impact on N2O and CH4 emissions in grass-clover and wheat.• Higher N2O pulses after tillage operations with increasing soil organic carbon.

Shallow non-inversion tillage in organic farming maintains crop yields and increases soil C stocks: a meta-analysis [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2016
Reduced tillage is increasingly promoted to improve sustainability and productivity of agricultural systems. Nonetheless, adoption of reduced tillage by organic farmers has been slow due to concerns about nutrient supply, soil structure, and weeds that ...

Effects of Straw Mulching and Reduced Tillage on Crop Production and Environment: A Review

Water, 2022
Taking sustainable agriculture measures is critical to effectively cope with the effect of the increasing population on water shortage. Straw mulching and reduced tillage are the most successful measures adopted in arid and semi-arid regions which affect

The impact of reduced tillage and distance to field margin on predator functional diversity

Journal of Insect Conservation, 2022
Introduction Agricultural intensification results in biodiversity loss through land conversion and management practices which negatively impact arthropods. The abundance and diversity of ground-dwelling predators, e.g.
