Enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizer effect on camelina production under conventional and conservation tillage practices

Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Claypan Soils Due to Nitrogen Fertilizer Source and Tillage/fertilizer Placement Practices

Fertilizer Recommendation Practices for the Most Popular Crop Rotations in Arkansas Under Conventional and Reduced Tillage Systems

A number of tests to study the yield response of cotton and soybean to several fertility programs, under conventional, no-till, and stale-seedbed production systems were established at the Cotton Branch Station near Marianna, Ark. Soil samples (0 to 6 inches) were collected prior to planting and extracted using the Mehlich3 procedure (extraction ratio of 1:7), with nitrate-N measured with a sel...

Nitrogen oxide and methane emissions under varying tillage and fertilizer management.

Comprehensive assessment of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) budget of reduced tillage agricultural systems must consider emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4), each of which have higher global warming potentials than carbon dioxide (CO2). Tillage intensity may also impact nitric oxide (NO) emissions, which can have various environmental and agronomic impacts. In 2003 and 2004, we us...

Nitrogen translocation efficiency in wheat depends on N sources and tillage practices

Integrated nutrient management (INM) under reduced tillage practices improve soil properties and plant nitrogen (N) dynamics. The effects of urea, farmyard manure (FYM) and soybean residue (SR) under different tillage systems were evaluated in 2-year field experiments for N translocation and translocation efficiencies. Tillage systems included minimum (MT), conventional (CT) and deep (DT) tilla...

Conservation Tillage for Vegetable Production

Conservation tillage is an effective sustainable production system for vegetables. No-till planters and transplanters and strip-till cultivation equipment are presently available for most vegetables. Lack of weed management tools (herbicides, cultivators, etc.) continues to be the cultural practice that limits adaptability of some vegetables to conservation tillage systems. Nitrogen management ...
