Zero-tillage for rice production on Cameroonian Vertisols

Soil and Tillage Research, 1996
Abstract The applicability of zero-tillage (ZT) for irrigated rice (Oriza sativa L.) as compared with conventional tillage (CT) was investigated on Cameroonian Vertisols over four cropping seasons. Soil parameters evaluated were particle size distribution and soil moisture profile. Bulk density was also monitored. Because experimental plots were kept

Effect of Conventional Tillage and Zero Tillage on Different Soil and Yield Parameters

Journal of Agriculture Research and Technology, 2022
Conservation and conventional tillage directly affects soil environment for crop production. Conservation tillage provides a layer of crop residue which increases soil fertility, soil erosion, leaching of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides into the ground water.

Tractor fuel requirements of two tillage systems and zero‐tillage

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 1977
The relative amounts of fuel used in 3 seedbed preparation and crop establishment systems were measured over a spring‐summer‐autumn period on 2 trial sites. The 3 tillage systems studied were: (i) Traditional cultivation based on mouldboard ploughing, rolling, disc and tine harrowing, and “levelling”, (ii) Rotary cultivating, rolling, and “levelling”, (

The effects of tillage and zero-tillage systems on soil aggregates in a silt loam

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1977
Abstract Three seedbed preparation systems were compared over the 1973–1974 spring-summer season on a pseudogleyed “Tokomaru” silt loam, on two adjacent experimental sites. Experiment 1 was tilled and left fallow over the winter of 1973, while experiment 2 was left in pasture over the winter.

Dry Bean Production in Zero and Conventional Tillage

Agronomy Journal, 2007
Adoption of zero tillage production practices for dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has lagged behind that of many other crops. A field experiment was conducted at two locations on the Canadian prairies to determine the response of dry bean planted into various crop stubbles in conventional and zero tillage.

Nitrogen Transformations under Zero and Shallow Tillage

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1984
Abstract A field study was conducted with the objective of determining if differences occur in soil N transformations between zero and conventional tillage systems. Tillage comparisons of 2, 4, 12, and 16 yr duration were studied at four locations on Chernozemic soils in Western Canada.
