The analysis of soil cultivation technologies for sowing melon crops was carried out. design a combined tillage tool capable plowing, pre-sowing treatment and formation irrigation furrows in one pass substantiated. main is recommended to be done by front plow tools smooth plowing. Plow bodies two bottom plows should mounted along the symmetry axis implement according lister scheme, which allows...

Ploughless soil tillage impacts on yields and selected soil quality parameters is reviewed from the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Soil conditions as well as climatic conditions vary widely, this resulting in variations in the length of the growing season, which is very short in the northern part of Scandinavia. The success of reduced tillage and direct drilling ...

Intensive tillage with no crop residue after rice harvest in conventional wheat cultivation increases the turn around time, delays sowing and affects yield. A field experiment was carried out to assess effect of dates, establishment methods mulching their interaction on growth, productivity profitability spring at agronomy farm AFU, Rampur Chitwan, Nepal from November 2020 April 2021. The laid ...

The paper discusses parameters of the loosening paw tool to prepare soil strip sowing melons. Scheme mutual arrangement paired housing and ripper is given. Formulas were obtained for determining depth tillage, width degree soil, as well longitudinal distance between body ripper. experiments carried out using methods strain measurement multifactorial experiment. Experiments have established that...

Physical, chemical and biological attributes of soil surface are significantly affected by tillage practices and crop rotation. The objective of this study was to determine the short-term (2006-2009) effects of conventional and conservational tillage practices on selected soil physical properties of a heavy clay soil under two wheat-corn and wheatlegume rotation in a semi-arid Mediterranean...

Comprehensive assessment of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) budget of reduced tillage agricultural systems must consider emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4), each of which have higher global warming potentials than carbon dioxide (CO2). Tillage intensity may also impact nitric oxide (NO) emissions, which can have various environmental and agronomic impacts. In 2003 and 2004, we us...

Conservation tillage reduces the physical movement of soil to the minimum required for crop establishment and production. When consistently practiced as a soil and crop management system, it greatly reduces soil erosion and is recognized for the potential to improve soil quality and water conservation and plant available water. Adoption of conservation tillage increased dramatically with the ad...

Soil Tillage Res., 10: 167-179. Conservation tillage ( 7 30% residue cover) has proven to be very effective in reducing runoff and erosion and in increasing soil water storage. In dryland cropping situation...

Blowing dust from summer fallow is a major soil loss and air quality concern in winter wheat (Triricum aesrivum L.) production areas of the inland Pacific Northwest (PNW). The objective of our 3-yr onfarm study in a 286-mm precipitation zone in eastern Washington was to determine the effects of tillage mulch depth during fallow on surface soil roughness, residue retention, seed-zone water stora...

Perennial grasses are the backbone of the U.S. livestock industry and are widely recognized as a key in conserving soil. Certain government programs require perennial grasses such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) as a way to enhance and protect soil quality while setting aside land from production. Perennial grasses are used along roadsides all across the country to provide stable slop...
