Contribution of macroporosity to water flux of a soil under different tillage systems

Soil Physical Properties Due to Different Tillage Systems in Dryland Regions of Northwestern Iran

Lack of sufficient information on conservation tillage systems leads to the dominating use of conventional tillage practice in most parts of Iran. Testing other management practices may help in decision making regarding the types of tillage systems that reduce soil deterioration. A three- years field experiment was conducted to study the effects of conventional (CT), reduced (RT) and no-till (N...

compaction of a clay loam soil in pannonian region of croatia under different tillage systems

many farmers periodically use deep tillage operations to alleviate compaction in the soil profile caused by natural factors or machinery traffic. in 2012 and 2013, a study was initiated in the pannonian region of croatia to study the effects of no-tillage (nt), conventional tillage (ct) and deep tillage (dt) on soil compaction, measured by (bd), soil water content (swc), penetration resistance ...

Root growth, soil water content and yield of barley under different tillage systems on two soils in semiarid conditions

Assessing Photosynthetic Leaf Area of Corn under Different Tillage Systems and Soil Zones

The photosynthetic leaf area may be influenced by soil texture. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate photosynthetic leaf area under different soil textures, based on soil electric conductivity (EC) measurements, tillage systems, and N rates in dryland corn (Zea mays L.) from 2007 to 2009. A commercially available soil electric conductivity (EC) measurement system (Veris Technologies...

Allometric relationship between some morpho-physiological characteristics of corn under different tillage systems and sowing dates

ABSTRACT- Field experiments were conducted to determine the relationship between plant leaf area as the dependent variable with leaves number, leaf dry weight, and total vegetative components dry weight and plant height as the independent variables. Treatments were two tillage systems (conventional and no-tillage) as main plots, and seven sowing dates (11 May, 18 May, 25 May, 1...
