In Central Aragón (NE Spain), where strong and dry winds are frequent all year round, fallow lands are susceptible to wind erosion due to insufficient crop residues on the surface and loose, finely divided soils by multiple tillage operations. Effects of conventional tillage (CT — mouldboard ploughing followed by a compacting roller) and reduced tillage (RT — chisel ploughing) on soil surface p...

Tillage is one of the most important practices affecting soil physical and hydraulic properties. Its effects may vary intensely according to tillage method. This study aims evaluate different methods (moldboard plow+disk harrow, moldboard plow+rotary tiller chisel harrow) drainage (subsurface non-drainage) on properties in a clay loam soil. The experiment was conducted split-plot time statistic...

Soil loss from dryland farms on the Columbia Plateau in Oregon and Washington (USA) results primarily from rain falling on frozen, cultivated soil. Soils are most susceptible to erosion when moldboard plowed, summer-fallowed, repeatedly rodweeded or cultivated, and fall planted to winter-wheat. These tillage practices are used because they help control weed and disease infestations and consiste...

tillage usually has been found to increase b compared with moldboard and chisel plow (Kitur et al., 1993; Lal, Tillage impacts on soil properties differ among soils. This study 1999). Bulk density usually is lowest immediately after investigated tillage, cropping, and wheel traffic (WT) effects of 13-yr of no-tillage (NT), chisel plow (CP), and moldboard plow (MP) under tillage and increases wi...

tillage and press wheel weight play an important role in seedling emergence, crop establishment and growth. an optimal combination of tillage implements and suitable press wheel weights should increase grain yield. this study investigated the effect of tillage systems and press wheel weights on dry land wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seedling emergence and grain yields in izeh, khuzestan province...

Accurate simulation of agricultural management effects on N loss in tile drainage is vitally important for understanding hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico. An experimental study was initiated in 1978 at Nashua, Iowa of the USA to study long-term effects of tillage, crop rotation, and N management practices on subsurface drainage flow and associated N losses. The Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM...

abstract conservation tillage practices integrated with appropriate residue management is an efficient approach in sustainable agriculture to prevent the removal or burning of crop residues. two years field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of wheat residue management on yield, yield component and morphophysiological characteristics of corn. experimental design was split plot us...
