Optimum Phosphorus Placement for Reduced Tillage Systems
Row-crop agriculture is under pressure to reduce sediment and nutrient losses to surface water resources by practicing less tillage and more precise application and placement of nutrients. Field studies started in 1997 were conducted through 2002 on very low to low P-testing (3 to 5 ppm Bray P1) and medium to high-P testing (11 to 19 ppm Bray P1) sites of a Nicollet-Webster clay loam complex at...
متن کاملWeed Control Using Conventional Tillage, Reduced Tillage, No-Tillage, and Cover Crops in Organic Soybean
Soybean field experiments were performed to investigate the weed-suppressing effects of different tillage systems and cover crop mulches at two locations in southwest Germany during 2014 and 2015. The influence of three different tillage systems on weed control efficacy, soybean plant density, and crop yield was determined. In the no-till system (NT), two different cover crops, (rye and barley)...
متن کاملEffects of Reduced Tillage on Wheat Diseases
Plant pathologists' traditional recommendations have been to clean-till fields. A few passes with the disk were good. Better yet, moldboard plow the residue under. Even better, burn the stubble, then plow it. Unfortunately, clean-tilling fields did not turn out to be a sustainable practice. Water and wind erosion claimed too much top soil and threatened to reduce the yield potential of our fiel...
متن کاملReduced Tillage in an Irrigated Potato Rotation
Soil erosion continues to be a threat to agricultural productivity worldwide, with soil losses in the United States exceeding 3 billion tons annually. Wind and water erosion have caused dramatic declines in soil productivity. Erosion protection and associated conservation of nutrients, organic matter, soil water holding capacity and biota are significant concerns. Pimentel et al. (1995) estimat...
متن کاملReduced Tillage in a Three Year Potato Rotation
C rop and fertilizer management practices can increase wheat grain protein without sacrificing yield. Growing wheat with high grain protein begins with selecting the appropriate variety and providing enough fertilizer to meet the wheat’s requirements for growth and grain yield. If nutrient levels are sufficient to meet yield goals, then providing adequate available nitrogen (N) may be the most ...
