Manure Incorporation and Reduced Tillage Corn Trial [PDF]
, 2015 Timely manure incorporation can reduce nutrient losses to the atmosphere and surface runoff. Keeping valuable nutrients, like nitrogen, in the soil can help reduce the purchase of expensive commercial fertilizers.

Conservation tillage and organic farming reduce soil erosion [PDF]
Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2018 AbstractThe impact of different arable farming practices on soil erosion is only partly resolved, and the effect of conservation tillage practices in organic agriculture on sediment loss has rarely been tested in the field. This study investigated rainfall-induced interrill sediment loss in a long-term replicated arable farming system and tillage ...

Soil structure and earthworm activity under different tillage systems in organic farming [PDF]
, 2007 Organic farmers are encouraged to adopt conservation tillage to preserve soil quality and fertility and prevent erosion. However, many studies in different soil and climate conditions have demonstrated that the compaction of the untilled layer is higher ...

Greenhouse gas flux and crop productivity after 10 years of reduced and no tillage in a wheat-maize cropping system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Appropriate tillage plays an important role in mitigating the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) in regions with higher crop yields, but the emission situations of some reduced tillage systems such as subsoiling, harrow tillage and rotary tillage are ...
