The effects of tillage systems on soil properties and crop productivity have been the subject many studies to ensure sustainable productivity. Aims: In study, different methods applied in intermediate period wheat-maize rotation quality corn yield elements were investigated pre-planting (PP) plant growth (PGP) corn. Methods: Conventional (CT), minimum with subsoiling chisel (MT1), (MT2), (MT3) ...

Mulching and tillage are widely considered to be major practices for improving soil and water conservation where water is scarce. This paper studied the effects of FM (flat mulching), RFM (ridge-furrow mulching), SM (straw mulching), MTMC (mulching with two materials combined), MOM (mulching with other materials), NT (no-tillage) ST (subsoiling tillage) and RT (rotational tillage) on wheat yiel...

Soil aggregates are one of the most important indicators soil quality, which can be affected strongly by tillage. Little is known about composition and stability under summer fallow tillage in rainfed winter wheat fields on Loess Plateau. were assessed before sowing after harvest three treatments during fallow, including minimum (FMT), subsoiling (FST) plough (FPT). The results showed that 0.25...

Soil compaction can occur due to trafficking by heavy equipment and be exacerbated unfavourable conditions such as wet weather. Compaction restrict crop growth increase waterlogging, which the production of greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Cultivation used alleviate compaction, but this have negative impacts on earthworm abundance carbon dioxide. In study, a field was purposefully compacted using ...
