 Study Design: Split-plot.
 Place Duration Study: Maize Research Centre, ARI, Rajendranagar between November 2021 April 2022.
 Methodology: A field experiment was conducted at Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy (District) during 2021...

Increased yields with conservation tillage have been attributed to the conservation of soil water (Rao and Sustainable cropping systems are essential for agronomic, ecoDao, 1996; Papendick and Miller, 1977) due to decreased nomic, and environmental reasons. Data from a winter wheat (Tritievaporation and cooler soil temperatures (Gauer et al., cum aestivum L.)/summer fallow rotation experiment, ...

In this paper, remote sensing measurements like apparent electrical conductivity (ECa.) are used to assess soil compaction. In an experiment comparing five tillage treatments and their effect to energy crops soil penetration resistance (SPR) was measured at the same time as ECa. ECa measurements were carried out using EM-38with dipoles at 1m apart and SPR by an electronic penetrometer. The nega...

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...

Emphasis and interest in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage (sequestration) in soils has greatly increased in the last few years, especially C with its’ potential to help alleviate or offset some of the negative effects of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Several questions still exist with regard to what management practices optimize C storage in the soil profile. A long-ter...

There currently are no data on using reduced tillage for flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) production when double-cropped after cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the southeastern USA. This study evaluated how tillage and subsoiling influenced double-cropped flax and cotton productivity and quality under conditions in the southeastern USA. An irrigated study on a loamy sand soil (Eunola loamy sand) ...

Deep tillage of compacted soils can improve potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber yield and quality if no other production factors are limiting. We hypothesized that within-row subsoiling and N placement would affect tuber yields and availability of plant nutrients. Potato (cv. Russet Burbank) was grown after winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in 1989 and after dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) i...

The famous empirical model for the horizontal force estimation of farm implements was issued by American Society Agricultural Biological Engineers (ASABE). It relies on information soil texture through its adjustment parameter, which is called Fi -parameter. Fi-parameter not measurable, and geometry plow machine parameter values are measurable; however, tillage speed, implement width, depth mea...

The objective of this research is to quantify the effects of liquid swine manure application on antibiotic and nutrient (N and P) losses via surface runoff and subsurface drainage under a conventional (moldboard plowing) and a conservation (chisel plowing) tillage system. The field experiment is set up at the University of Minnesota Southwest Research and Outreach Center, Lamberton, Minnesota. ...

Tillage practices can directly affect soil quality, influencing properties, crop growth, and microbial community characteristics. However, the influence of long-term tillage on rhizosphere bacterial in lime concretion black remains largely unknown. In this study, effects nine-year rotary (RT), no-tillage (NT), subsoiling (ST), plow (PT) chemical structure, correlations between communities prope...
