International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and TechnologyTillage practices make up one of the most essential operations executed on the soil during crop production. They manipulate the soil by mechanical means using tools, implements, and powered machinery with the intention to prepare the soil and make it ...

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Under steady–state conditions, potential nitrogen mineralization in soil under grasslands is closely tied to potential carbon mineralization. This study provides supporting evidence that field–specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendations could be indicated by using a simple and rapid analysis of soil–test biological activity.

Native grass breeding: Priority needs and strategic approaches
Grassland Research, EarlyView.The key needs and breeding strategies of native grass. Abstract Native grasses possess extensive ecological adaptability, such as cold, drought, and salt tolerance, and tolerance to poor soil conditions. They play a crucial role in ensuring food security and ecological security.

No-Tillage impacts on soil hydraulic properties compared with conventional tillage
, 2012 Soil hydraulic properties are very important in precision irrigation, water and solute transport and irrigation scheduling. Tillage can change near surface soil hydraulic properties. In this study Beerkan methodwas used to better understand tillage and no-tillage impacts on transmission properties of topsoil.

Effect of Soil Tillage Practices on Dynamic of Bacterial Communities in Soil
Agriculturae Conspectus Scientificus, 2016 Several studies have indicated that intensive tillage has notable effect on properties of the soil microbiota that may influence numerous important soils functions, e.g. mobilization of nutrients or change of the overall emission rates of greenhouse gases.

CONSERVATION TILLAGE AND PESTICIDE USE IN THE CORNBELT
Adoption of conservation tillage can lead to substantial environmental benefits from reduced soil erosion. But benefits may be partially offset if adoption increases reliance on agricultural chemicals.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.There is genetic variation in ryegrass for the ability to respond to nitrogen fertilizer, Breeding nitrogen use efficient cultivars can increase farm profitability and sustainability. Abstract Background Improving the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of pastures has the benefit of reducing costs of production and reducing nitrogen loss to the environment.

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...
