Insect Management in Reduced Tillage Systems

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1976
Adoption of reduced-tillage methods of crop production has been extraordinarily rapid, especially in states with rolling topographies. According to Phillips (1974) corn and soybean no-till acreage in Kentucky increased from 110,000 to 650,000 from 1969 to 1974, respectively.

Effect of changing tillage practices after four years of continuous reduced tillage

2002 Chicago, IL July 28-31, 2002, 2002
Conservation tillage research indicated that continuous use of no-tillage or shallow tillage causes an increase in soil dry bulk density, in weed infestation and reduced yields. In a four-year experiment in Greece in a clay loam soil, five tillage methods using plough, heavy cultivator, rotary cultivator, disk harrow and no-tillage for primary ...

Furrow Irrigation Performance In Reduced-Tillage Systems

Transactions of the ASAE, 1991
ABSTRACT Irrigation performance parameters including furrow advance time and application efficiency were compared among three tillage systems: moldboard plow, rotary strip till, and minimum till. A three crop rotation of com, dry beans and sugarbeets was used in the study.

THE IMPACT OF REDUCED TILLAGE ON SOILBORNE PLANT PATHOGENS

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1998
▪ Abstract  Farmers increasingly leave crop residues on the soil surface rather than incorporating them into the soil. This practice helps reduce soil erosion, conserve energy, increase soil moisture, and increase crop yields. However, many soilborne plant pathogens survive in the previous year's crop residue, making diseases more problematic under ...

PART II : Management of Pests in Reduced Tillage Systems Management of Weeds in Reduced Tillage Systems

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1976
Achieving and maintaining weed control is a basic requirement of successful crop husbandry. Weeds have been man's enemy since crops were first domesticated and countless hours of labor have been expended in controlling these pests. A major reason for the 10 to 14 tillage operations used in producing row crops during the era before selective herbicides ...

Management of Crop Diseases in Reduced Tillage Systems

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1976
Reduced tillage is an important cultural practice that may greatly affect the onset and development of plant diseases. The principal diseases associated with reduced tillages involving minimum or no tillage operations are fungus and bacterial diseases of plants. One reason for the recent upsurge of some plant diseases relates to the large quantities of

Minimum Tillage Fallow Systems for Reducing Wind Erosion

Transactions of the ASAE, 1977
ABSTRACT CLIMATE is the greatest single factor that influ-ences wind erosion control. Much of the Great Plains has insufficient precipitation for profitable annual cropping under present dryland cropping prac-tices. Moisture conservation and residue maintenance should always be considered when contemplating a tillage operation.

Effect of reduced tillage on wheat quality traits

Acta Alimentaria, 2006
The effect of tillage systems (TS) on wheat quality traits including grain yield, thousand- kernels weight, hectoliter mass, flour extraction rate and flour rheological properties were evaluated. Five different TS were compared in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production on one experimental field (chernosem) located in the Baranya region, north ...

Conventional and reduced tillage in Hungary — A review

Soil and Tillage Research, 1989
Abstract Tillage systems commonly used in Hungary are in no way similar to the number of new soil-preserving shallow-tillage or direct-drilling systems now commonly used in other countries. The applicability of such new methods in Hungary is currently being tested.
