Non-inverting Tillage: Early-Stage Effects on Soil Mechanical Behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Organic farmers often claim positive effects of non-inverting and reduced tillage systems. There is a need of quantifying tilth characteristics in the former plough layer of soil converted to such tillage systems.

Helical Piles Embedded in Expansive Soil Overlaying Sandy Soil

open access: yesAl-Khawarizmi Engineering Journal, 2017
In this study, the behavior of square helical piles models (5×5) mm2 embedded in expansive soil bed overlaying a layer of sandy soil was investigated. The sand layer 200mm thickness was compacted into four sub layers in a steel container with diameter ...

Influence of Soil Amendment Application on Growth and Yield of Hedysarum scoparium Fisch. et Mey and Avena sativa L. Under Saline Conditions in Dry-Land Regions

open access: yesPlants
Globally, salt stress is one of the most significant abiotic stresses limiting crop production in dry-land regions. Nowadays, growing crops in dry-land regions under saline irrigation is the main focus. Soil amendment with organic materials has shown the

Soil nitrate N as influenced by annually undersown cover crops in spring cereals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Cover crops can reduce leaching and erosion, introduce variability into crop rotations and fix nitrogen (N) for use by the main crops. In Finland, undersowing is a suitable method for establishing cover crops in cereals.

Effect of soil texture on the microwave emission from soils [PDF]

open access: yes
The intensity brightness temperature of the microwave emission from the soil is determined primarily by its dielectric properties. The large difference between the dielectric constant of water and that of dry soil produces a strong dependence of the soil'
