Evaluation of Conservation Tillage Methods for Soil Moisture Conservation and Maize Grain Yield in Low Moisture Areas of SNNPR, Ethiopia

Soil Tillage Management Affects Maize Grain Yield by Regulating Spatial Distribution Coordination of Roots, Soil Moisture and Nitrogen Status

The spatial distribution of the root system through the soil profile has an impact on moisture and nutrient uptake by plants, affecting growth and productivity. The spatial distribution of the roots, soil moisture, and fertility are affected by tillage practices. The combination of high soil density and the presence of a soil plow pan typically impede the growth of maize (Zea mays L.).We invest...

Developing Irrigation Conservation Strategies Using Soil Moisture Sensors and ET

Principal Component Analysis for Soil Conservation Tillage vs Conventional Tillage in Semi Arid Region of Punjab Province of Pakistan

Principal component analysis is a valid method used for data compression and information extraction in a given set of experiments. It is a well-known classical data analysis technique. There are a number of algorithms for solving the problems, some scaling better than others. Wheat ranks as the staple food of most of the nations as well as an agent of poverty reduction, food security and world ...

Investigation of the role of filters in soil moisture conservation using rainwater harvesting techniques on steep lands

Knowledge about optimizing use of rain water under different systems is crucial for overcoming water stress and maximizing crop yield. In this regard, rain-water harvesting is one option that increases the amount of water per unit cropping area, reduces drought, and enables use of run-off. In this study, the importance of filters in rainwater catchment systems for increasing crop yields on stee...

Effects of Conservation Tillage Technology Adoption on Wheat Yield, Water Use and Household Poverty

The interaction of population growth, technological improvement and climate change have impacted severely on agricultural and environmental sustainability. In Iran, conventional tillage practice has resulted in soil erosion and loss of soil organic matter. In this regard, Conservation Agriculture (CA) forms part of this alternative paradigm to agricultural production systems approaches and can ...
