Soil Nitrocxn and Pasture Management
The. seasonal pattern of nitrogen mineralization is described and compared with the potential demand for nitrogen by grasses. Peak mineralization rates occur in spring but are quite inadequate for expression of potential grass growth. Nitrogen fixation by clovers provides a significant input into the system over a short period. Consideration of the fate of fixed nitrogen shows that losses large...
متن کاملEffects of Soil and Crop Management Practices on Soil Quality
Developing the concept of soil quality may help identify the soil and crop management practices required for environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable agriculture. Objectives of this paper are (1) to review current efforts to define soil quality, (2) to discuss factors and processes which influence soil quality, (3) to identify, soil and crop management practices that affect proce...
متن کاملEffect of long term no-till and conventional tillage practices on soil quality
Management systems influence soil quality over time. A randomized block design in 2 (tillage system) 3 (crop rotation) factorial arrangement was laid-out to evaluate the impact of tillage and crop rotation (2002–2007) on soil quality. Conventional tillage and No-till were factored into continuous corn, corn–soybean, and corn–soybean–wheat–Cowpea systems. Ten soil cores were collected at 0–7.5, ...
متن کاملSoil quality response to long-term tillage and crop rotation practices
Soil quality is influenced by inherent and anthropogenic factors. This study was conducted to provide multiple groups guidance on how to achieve and maintain improved soil quality/health. Our hypothesis was that tillage intensity was the primary anthropogenic factor degrading soil quality, and our objective was to prove that hypothesis through an intensive 2005 sampling of a central Iowa, USA f...
