Tillage methods and soil and water conservation in Australia

Soil and Tillage Research, 1993
Abstract Tillage in Australia has evolved from ‘imported’ European practices to tillage systems more in tune with ‘older’ fragile soils and more severe climatic conditions. Cereal yields are commonly limited by water supply and the native fertility of many soils is poor.

Modelling the readiness of soil for different methods of tillage

Soil and Tillage Research, 2016
While research has been conducted on the workability and trafficability of soils separately, it is the combination of these two factors which allows a decision to be made about a field’s readiness for a given operation. Knowledge about when a field is ready for an operation is essential when planning when and where operations should be executed, so ...

Tillage methods and soil and water conservation methods in the Caribbean

Soil and Tillage Research, 1993
Abstract This review describes the tillage methods and soil conservation methods currently utilized in the Commonwealth Caribbean on a range of slopes. A high percentage of the land has slopes which exceed 20° minimum. In these circumstances, tillage is carried out with hand tools and frequently combined with conservation contour drains or/and ...

Tillage methods and soil and water conservation in eastern Africa

Soil and Tillage Research, 1993
Abstract This paper reviews some research studies on tillage methods influencing soil and moisture conservation in the eastern African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Ethiopia during the past four decades. Most of these studies were conducted in marginal rainfall (semi arid) areas and on shallow soils of various textures (sandy clay loam ...

Tillage methods and soil and water conservation in southern Brazil

Soil and Tillage Research, 1991
Abstract The intensive tillage systems adopted in southern Brazil have accelerated soil erosion, depleted plant-available nutrients and reduced crop productivity. These effects are better perceived in terms of farmer's land use and soil management techniques, i.e.

Tillage methods and soil and water conservation in West Africa

Soil and Tillage Research, 1991
Abstract A review is made of appropriate tillage methods for West African soils. Soil and ecological constraints to crop production and soil and water conservation measures in West Africa are discussed. Experimental results relating to the effects of different tillage methods on soil productivity and crop responses are described for different eco ...

The Influence of Tillage Methods on the Infiltration in Soil

2002
Over the centuries, conventional agricultural practice around the developed countries encouraged extensive soil tillage. Tillage can have both favourable and unfavourable effects on different soil physical properties of the treated topsoil. If the topsoil water content is not too high or too low when the tillage is performed the short-term effect of ...

Soil porosity and water infiltration as influenced by tillage methods

Soil and Tillage Research, 2006
Abstract The relations between soil pore structure induced by tillage and infiltration play an important role in flow characteristics of water and solutes in soil. In this study, we assessed the effect of long-term use of various tillage systems on pore size distribution, areal porosity, stained (flow-active) porosity and infiltration of silt loam ...
