Effect of tillage methods on soil erosion in Norway
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 2012 Abstract Soil erosion is considered a serious environmental problem in parts of Norway. The effect on water quality is the most important concern, and the improvement of water quality is the major aim for mitigation techniques and regulations on tillage. Documentation of effects of tillage practices therefore has a high priority. In this paper, results

New Method of Measuring the Depth of Soil Tillage
Machinery and Equipment for Rural Area, 2023 The authors propose a new method for measuring the depth of soil cultivation by tillage machines based on a system of inertial position sensors. The block diagram and design of the inertial sensor for measuring the depth of travel of the working tools are substantiated.

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates
