Effect of permanent ground cover on agronomic properties and soil fertility in an organic peach orchard [PDF]
, 2010 In conventional orchards, weeds on the raw are mainly controlled with chemical herbicides because of their efficiency, their low cost and ease of use.

Adoption and diffusion of no tillage practices in Southern Spain olive groves [PDF]
This paper analyses the process of adoption of no tillage in South-eastern Spain’s olive groves. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain’s mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion, which is the main environmental problem for this ...

Spatial variability of microbial indicators and assessment of tillage systems on the soil microbiological functioning on organic farming. [PDF]
, 2006 Reduction tillage, in modifying the soil microorganisms’ environment, modifies their potential to supply plants nutrients. This is of primary importance in organic farming as the nutrients availability is mainly dependent on the organic matter ...

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Holocene relative sea level (RSL) changes were reconstructed from four sites along the less‐studied southern Solway Firth. A multiproxy approach, including lithostratigraphical and biostratigraphical analyses, combined with radiocarbon dating, produced ten sea level index points (SLIPs).

Effects of No-Tillage Production Practices on Crop Yields as Influenced by Crop and Growing Environment Factors [PDF]
This paper evaluated differences between yields of no-tillage compared to conventional or reduced tillage and their associated downside risk. Six crops were evaluated along with how those yields and risks differed by various environmental factors such ...
