and Reule, 1994; Norwood, 2000; Peterson et al., 1993; Schlegel et al., 2002). No-till (NT) production systems, especially winter wheat (Triticum Dhuyvetter et al. (1996) reported that the more intenaestivum L.)–summer crop–fallow, have increased in the central Great sive cropping systems had higher profit potential than Plains, but few N fertility studies have been conducted with these systems...

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)...

ern Tennessee (Stevens et al., 1992; Bradley, 1993; Triplett et al., 1996), conservation tillage practiced on silty clay Yield reductions from no-tillage cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) soils in northern Alabama resulted in 8 to 15% yield jeopardized adoption of conservation systems in the Tennessee Valley region of north Alabama in the early 1990s. We conducted a study from reductions compared ...

This work was aimed at assessing whether in silage maize it is possible to replace precisionplanting with a volumetric seeding in the perspective of developing hybrid machines to strip tilland sow both high density crops like winter cereals and low density crops like maize. This inorder to reduce the number of machines in the farm, simplify logistics and reduce amortizationcosts. Two experiment...

field trials were conducted at the experimental station (brody) belonging to poznan university of life sciences (ne poland). the purpose was to evaluate the impact of different tillage systems and white mustard cover crop on soil enzymatic activity and severity of plant infection by pathogenic fungi in spring wheat. a randomized complete block design was set up with four replicates per treatmen...

Soil carbon (C) losses and soil translocation from tillage operations have been identified as causes of soil degradation and soil erosion. The objective of this work was to quantify the variability in tillage-induced carbon dioxide (CO2) loss by moldboard (MP) and chisel (CP) plowing across an eroded landscape and relate the C loss to soil properties. The study site was a 4 ha wheat (Triticum a...

A significant share of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) produced from agriculture comes from cattle farming. The reduction in GHG emissions from ruminants fed with grains has led some researchers to recommend such a diet as a means of mitigating emissions in the sector. A more accurate balance of emissions, however, must include the carbon (C) stocked by feed crops. Within the grain production system, no...

by concerns about nutrient loading. Increased on-site nutrient loading from concentrated animal feeding opApplying organic matter (OM) amendments to cropland reduces erations (CAFOs) have prompted investigations into requirements for synthetic fertilizer and may eliminate yield differalternative uses for manure produced in various liveences between conventional and minimum tillage. The objectiv...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in the future aims to increase productivity every year with high input technology, including irrigated rice. However, practices of rice fields have a methane (CH4) potential. Soil tillage could affect CH4 emission conditions. Puddling and flooding through soil create reduction conditions that promote by methanogenic bacteria. The objective was determine effect ...

in order to evaluate the delay cropping on yield and yield component of two canola cultivars and selecting the best genotype and row spacing, an experiment was conducted at three years (2007, 2008 and 2009) in gorgan research station. this experiment was arranged in spilt-factorial based on randomized complete block design with four sowing dates (28 oct., 12 and 28 nov. and 12 dec.) as main plo...
