soil. Planting of the crop over this low density slot is critical. These soils occur in the USA, primarily in the Using deep tillage to alleviate the adverse effects of deleterious soil Coastal Plains, and in other regions to a minor extent physical properties has been tried many times. Consistent economic returns have been reported for in-the-row subsoiling of loamy sand (Buol, 1973). and coar...

Microbial diversity can be used to assess the impact of agricultural practices on the long-term sustainability of cropping systems. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in soil bacterial diversity as a result of the impact of different soil tillage and crop rotation systems in an oxisol of southern Brazil. Bacterial diversity was examined in the 010 cm layer in two field experiments...

Soil penetration resistance (SPR) is one of the major indicators soil physical properties. Crop residue managements, tillage practices and their interactions exert significant effects on SPR. However, rare information available in sloping farmland Mollisols. Field experiments were conducted to investigate variations SPR as affected by crop managements land Northeast China from 2015 2019. The sp...

The need to control glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine]-resistant weed biotypes with tillage and preemergence herbicides in glyphosate-resistant crops (GRCs) is causing a reduction in no-tillage hectarage thereby threatening the advances made in water quality over the past decade. Consequently, if environmental gains afforded by GRCs are to be maintained, then an in-field best management pr...

Understanding greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions is becoming increasingly important with the climate change. Most previous studies have focused on the assessment of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential and GHG emissions from agriculture. However, specific experiments assessing tillage impacts on GHG emission from double-cropped paddy fields in Southern China are relatively scarce. Th...

Incorporation of manure into cultivated soils is generally recommended to minimize nutrient losses. A 3-yr study was conducted to evaluate sediment and nutrient losses with different tillage methods (moldboard plow, heavy-duty cultivator, double disk, and no-incorporation) for incorporation of beef cattle manure in a silage barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cropping system. Runoff depths, sediment lo...

the erosion in dryland caused decrease in yield and soil quality, especially in slope land with conventional tillage. to investigate effect of tillage and planting methods in slope land on erosion and yield of dryland wheat, an experiment was conducted in 2007 at kermanshah province. the statistical design for this research was strip split plots in rcb (randomized complete blocks) with three re...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds are susceptible to low temperature and excess moisture in soil during seed emergence in years with high rainfall and low temperature in spring. Therefore, a two-year field experiment was carried out to evaluate effects of ridge tillage formed in autumn (RT-I), ridge tillage formed about a month before planting (RT-II) and flat conventional tillage (CT) culti...
