Reduced Tillage Alternatives for Machine-harvested Cucumbers [PDF]

HortScience, 2004
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is grown using intensive tillage practices, which increase the cost of production and may lead to an increase in soil and water erosion. Research on alternative tillage practices for cucumber production has been limited primarily to exploring the benefits of no tillage.

Soil Penetration Resistance after One-Time Inversion Tillage: A Spatio-Temporal Analysis at the Field Scale

Land, 2020
Conservation agriculture may lead to increased penetration resistance due to soil compaction. To loosen the topsoil and lower the compaction, one-time inversion tillage (OTIT) is a measure frequently used in conservation agriculture.

CO₂ Emissions from Soils under Different Tillage Practices and Weather Conditions

Agronomy, 2023
CO2 emissions are one of the greenhouse gases that significantly contribute to climate change. The use of reduced soil tillage practices could contribute to the mitigation of CO2 emissions from soils under ongoing climate change conditions.

Impact of Cultivation Practices and Varieties on Productivity, Profitability, and Nutrient Uptake of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) and Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cropping System in India

Agriculture, 2022
Interest in conservation measures, including reduced tillage, zero tillage, and crop residue retention, is growing in major rice growing areas of the world; particularly in the Indo-Gangetic plains. Of late, research interest is increasing in India for a

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

, 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 ...

Greenhouse gas emissions under conservation agriculture: a synthesis of field observations on integrating conservation tillage and cover crops

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science
Conservation agriculture (CA), which combines conservation tillage and cover crops (CC), has gained increasing attention for its potential to improve soil health and mitigate climate change. Yet, there is limited research on its effects on greenhouse gas
