Influence of soil tillage technology on tillage erosion

Research in Agricultural Engineering
Tillage-induced erosion has negative impacts on the soil environment and production of the soil under intensive farming. Tillage erosion was evaluated during soil tillage performed by two technologies, i.e.

Differences in the Concentration of Micronutrients in Young Shoots of Numerous Cultivars of Wheat, Maize and Oilseed Rape

Agronomy, 2022
Individual species of cultivated plants differ in the content of microelements in the shoots. The aim of our research was to test the hypothesis that the variability of the micronutrient content between cultivars of the same species may be similar or ...

Changes in organic molecular marker signatures in soils amended with biochar during a three-year experiment with maize on a Fluvisol

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2022
Biochar is widely used as a soil amendment to improve soil properties and as a tool to absorb net carbon from the atmosphere. In this study we determined the signatures of organic molecular markers in soil following the incorporation of 5 and 10 t/ha ...

The Phytoremediation Potential of Local Wild Grass Versus Cultivated Grass Species for Zinc-Contaminated Soil

Agronomy, 2023
The aim of the study was to compare the phytoremediation potential of cultivated grasses with local wild grass for soil contaminated with zinc. Two pot experiments were carried out on soil artificially contaminated with Zn.

Water use efficiency, grain yield, and economic benefits of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under four soil tillage systems in Mukono District, Uganda

Heliyon, 2021
With the increasing climate change impacts and variabilities, water is becoming a limiting factor for rainfed crop production in Uganda. Conservation tillage practices could improve soil and water conservation in croplands.

SOIL EROSION BY TILLAGE IN RAINFED N-W. EGYPTION COAST [PDF]

Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018
Tillage erosion is one of the main causes of land degradation. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of tillage systems (up and downslope and contour tillage), soil conditions (consolidated and loosened soils), tillage depth, speed

Effect of Salicylic Acid Foliar Application on Two Wheat Cultivars Grown under Zinc Stress

Agronomy, 2021
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid (SA) on alleviating Zn stress in young wheat plants. Two rigorous pot experiments were conducted with two spring wheat cultivars growing on soil artificially ...

Four decades of continuously applied tillage or no‐tillage on soil properties and soil morphology [PDF]

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2021
AbstractAs increasing amounts of cropland are managed using no‐tillage (NT), information is needed to assess long‐term impacts of this practice on soil profile properties. A well‐drained Wooster fine‐loamy (mixed, active, mesic, Oxyaquic Fragiudalf) soil and a poorly drained, Hoytville silty clay loam (fine, illitic, mesic Mollic Epiaqualf) were ...
