Comparison of alternative tillage systems [PDF]
, 2007 The aim of the project was to compare the performance and the costs of alternative tillage systems and machinery, in both energy and economic terms. To determine the energy requirements of tillage implements, experimentation in field conditions and ...

Revolutionising Agricultural Sustainability: New 'Furrow Tillage' can Mitigate Short-Term Soil-to-Atmosphere CO<sub>2</sub> Flux and Promote Soil-Plant-Microbe Health. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Furrow tillage resolves the conventional‐vs.‐no‐tillage trade‐off by simultaneously cutting CO2 efflux to 2.0–3.0 g C m−2 d−1 and unlocking high nutrient availability for the rice rhizosphere. This scalable agronomic solution strengthens soil health, enhances plant physiology, reshapes microbial metabolism, and shifts paddy systems toward a net ...

Non-inversion conservation tillage as an underestimated driver of tillage erosion [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractTillage erosion is a widely underestimated process initiating soil degradation especially in case of large agricultural fields located in rolling topography. It is often assumed that, conservation, non-inversion tillage causes less tillage erosion than conventional inversion tillage. In this study, tillage erosion was determined on three paired

Morphological plasticity of root growth under mild water stress increases water use efficiency without reducing yield in maize [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 A large yield gap exists in rain-fed maize (Zea mays L.) production in semi-arid regions, mainly caused by frequent droughts halfway through the crop-growing period due to uneven distribution of rainfall.

Tillage or no-tillage: Impact on mycorrhizae [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2005 Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous in agricultural soils. These fungi play important roles in plant nutrition and soil conservation. The persistence of AM fungi in ecosystems depends on the formation and survival of propagules (e.g., spore, hyphae and colonized roots).
