Residue retention and minimum tillage improve physical environment of the soil in croplands: A global meta-analysis

open access: yesSoil and Tillage Research, 2019
Conservation tillage practices, here defined as no-tillage (NT) or reduced tillage (RT) with/without residue retention, have been widely used to alleviate the negative effects caused by intensive tillage practices.

Soil tillage

2023
Tillage is the mechanical manipulation of the soil to modify or ameliorate its physical condition with regard to plant growth for human and animal food production. Tillage operations include incorporation of fertilizers or crop amendments, seedbed preparation, seeding, and post-emergent cultivation for weed control.

Tillage (plowing, subsoiling and no-tillage) effect on soil erodibility

1995
The effect of three different soil tillage systems (plow, subsoiling and no-tillage) on soil losses by runoff and “splash”, was determined in situ using a rain simulator. These determinations were carried out in a field experiment under the Project “Soil Tillage in Dry and Irrigated Farming” (EU Program AGRIMED), installed in a Cambisol from granite ...

Influence of tillage on soil aeration

Soil and Tillage Research, 1986
AbstractAir‐ porosity of soil can be altered by tillage. Therefore, it plays a significant role in protecting plants against deficient aeration during critical periods of their life cycle. The effect of five tillage treatments (mouldboard, cultivator, rotary tiller, wedge and zero tillage) and three mulch treatments (paddy straw, rice husk and bare) on

Tillage and Soil Compaction

2003
Soil structure degradation (SSD), often called soil compaction, is ubiquitous to cropping and grazing lands, worldwide. With soil erosion, compaction is regarded as the most serious environmental problem caused by conventional agriculture. Examples span all soils, small to large farms, developed and developing nations, subsistence to corporate farming ...

Soil Depth and Tillage Effects on Glyphosate Degradation

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2009
The use of glyphosate-resistant crops facilitated the widespread adoption of no-tillage (NT) cropping systems. The experimental objectives were to determine glyphosate sorption, mineralization, and persistence at two depths [0-2 cm (A) and 2-10 cm (B)] in a silt loam managed under long-term conventional tillage (CT) or NT soybean. Relative to the other
