An Overview of the Impact of Tillage and Cropping Systems on Soil Health in Agricultural Practices

Advances in Agriculture, 2023
There is currently a demand to grow more crops in less area as a result of urbanization’s reduction of agricultural land. As a result, soil fertility is gradually declining. To maintain soil fertility, various management methods are used in modern times.

Effects of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Nano-Silica on Root Development, Leaf Photosynthesis, Active Oxygen and Nitrogen Metabolism in Maize

Plants, 2023
Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and nano-silica (nano-SiO2) are widely used in the field of life science because of their special physical and chemical properties. In this study, the effects of different concentrations of MWCNTs (0 mg·L−1, 200 mg·L−1, 400 mg·L−

Effects of Straw Mulching and Reduced Tillage on Crop Production and Environment: A Review

Water, 2022
Taking sustainable agriculture measures is critical to effectively cope with the effect of the increasing population on water shortage. Straw mulching and reduced tillage are the most successful measures adopted in arid and semi-arid regions which affect

Tillage effects on soil properties and crop yield after land reclamation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Tillage treatments have an important effect on soil microstructure characteristics, water thermal properties and nutrients, but little is known in the newly reclaimed cultivated land.

Genome-wide association study uncovers major genetic loci associated with flowering time in response to active accumulated temperature in wild soybean population

BMC Genomics, 2022
Flowering time and active accumulated temperature (AAT) are two key factors that limit the expanded production especially for soybean across different regions. Wild soybean provides an important germplasm for functional genomics study in cultivar soybean.

Carbon Sequestration to Avoid Soil Degradation: A Review on the Role of Conservation Tillage

Plants, 2021
Human efforts to produce more food for increasing populations leave marks on the environment. The use of conventional agricultural practices, including intensive tillage based on the removal of crop residue, has magnified soil erosion and soil ...

Conservation tillage regulates the assembly, network structure and ecological function of the soil bacterial community in black soils

Plant and Soil, 2022
Traditional tillage represents a serious threat to the stability of soil ecosystems. Understanding the response mechanisms of soil microbial community assembly to different tillage practices is a major topic of soil ecological research.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Partial Resistance to P. sojae in Wild Soybeans from Heilongjiang Province, China

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022
Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is a destructive disease of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr) caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae). The most effective way to prevent the disease is growing resistant or tolerant varieties. Partial resistance provides a more

Effects of Crop Rotation on Spring Wheat Yield and Pest Occurrence in Different Tillage Systems: A Multi-Year Experiment in Finnish Growing Conditions

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Crop rotation and soil tillage are among key factors impacting cropping system productivity, pest management and soil health. To assess their role in northern cropping systems, we quantified the effects of crop rotation on spring wheat yield in different
