Assessment of strip tillage systems for maize production in semi-arid Ethiopia: effects on grain yield and water balance

, 2007
International audienceThe traditional tillage implement, the Maresha plow, and the tillage systems that require repeated and cross plowing have caused poor rainfall partitioning, land degradation and hence low water productivity in Ethiopia. Conservation

Targeting phosphorus loss with carbon farming practices? Results from an on‐farm study

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Agricultural soils lose P to waterbodies and C to the atmosphere. Reversing the C trend requires change in management (carbon farming), but what is the effect of carbon farming practices on P transport from soils to waterbodies? This was empirically studied by analyzing the P loss risks from 20 farms participating in a 5‐year on‐farm carbon ...

Subsoiling before winter wheat alleviates the kernel position effect of densely grown summer maize by delaying post-silking root–shoot senescence

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
The intensified kernel position effect is a common phenomenon in maize production under higher plant density, which limits crop productivity. Subsoiling is an effective agronomic practice for improving crop productivity.

Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 811-830, May 2026.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Enhancing soil health through no‐till, cover crops, and compost: A 5‐year field study

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract The capacity of soil management systems to conserve and promote soil health is crucial for its sustainability. While the effects of individual soil management practices on soil health receive considerable attention, their combined effects remain understudied. This paper presents the results of a 5‐year field experiment designed to evaluate the

Subsoiling increases soil carbon and wheat yields by altering the deep soil and the hydrolase to oxidase ratio under saline water irrigationMendeley Data

Agricultural Water Management
Carbon pool management index (CPMI), which combines carbon pool capacity and carbon activity, is crucial for understanding carbon flow in soil. It is essential to determine whether changes in soil carbon components due to saline irrigation diminish the ...
