The effect of tillage depth and traffic management on soil properties and root development during two growth stages of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]

SOIL, 2022
The management of agricultural soils during crop establishment can affect root development due to changes in the soil structure. This paper assesses the influence of tillage depth (250 mm, 100 mm, and zero tillage) and traffic management (conventional ...

Zero tillage and water productivity: A review [PDF]

International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2020
Nevertheless, zero tillage is the best choice because crop residues retained in zero tillage decreases evaporation, controls soil temperature, reduces erosion, reduces total cultivation costs, increases soil organic carbon stock, enhances water use efficiency and increases crop yield on sustainable crops. A range of resource management technologies are

To till or not to till in a temperate ecosystem? Implications for climate change mitigation

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The management of agricultural soils affect the composition and scale of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is conflicting evidence on the effect of zero-tillage on carbon storage and GHG emissions.

Using Sentinel-2 to Track Field-Level Tillage Practices at Regional Scales in Smallholder Systems

Remote Sensing, 2021
Zero tillage is an important pathway to sustainable intensification and low-emission agriculture. However, quantifying the extent of zero tillage adoption at the field scale has been challenging, especially in smallholder systems where field sizes are ...
