Reduced tillage for peanut production

Soil and Tillage Research, 1989
Abstract Conservation tillage offers economical and erosion-control advantages to peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) growers, provided it does not reduce yield. An on-farm research program was initiated in 1982 in Alabama to compare the effects of reduced tillage and conventional tillage on yield, weed pressure, disease intensity and nematode numbers ...

Reduced tillage and increased residue retention increase enzyme activity and carbon and nitrogen concentrations in soil particle size fractions in a long-term field experiment on Loess Plateau in China

Soil & Tillage Research, 2019
Soil organic matter (SOM) concentration and enzyme activity are important biochemical indicators of soil health for assessing the sustainability of agricultural management practices.

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.

Reduced tillage and compost effects on soil aggregate stability of a silt-loam Luvisol using different aggregate stability tests

Soil & Tillage Research, 2019
Aggregate stability of soils informs about their relative strengths against erosive forces and mechanical disruption; however, the many methods of assessment are not of equal potential in discriminating management effects.

Corn nitrogen management using NDVI and SPAD sensor-based data under conventional vs. reduced tillage systems

Journal of plant nutrition, 2019
Present analyses to calculate nitrogen fertilizer recommendations are time consuming and costly. Therefore, a field study determining the efficiency of SPAD and NDVI meters to calculate soil N deficiency and guide fertilizer application timing and rate ...

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 ...

High carbon use efficiency and low priming effect promote soil C stabilization under reduced tillage

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2018
Increasing the accumulation of organic carbon (C) in soils is a crucial challenge both for soil fertility and for climate change mitigation. Heterotrophic microbial communities are key drivers of C cycling in the soil and are influenced by cultural ...
