Seventy years of different management treatments have produced significant differences in runoff, erosion, and ponded infiltration rate in a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–summer fallow experiment in OR, USA. We tested the hypothesis that differences in infiltration are due to changes in soil structure related to treatment-induced biological changes. All plots received the same tillage (pl...

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...

field experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of wheat residues and different densities of sunflower in weed control during 2007 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replications. the experiment was set up in factorial arrangement, amount of 0, 1250, 2500, 3750, 5000 kg ha-1 of wheat residue and burning of residue (5000 kg ha-1) were the lev...

introduction: herbicides are the most widely used of chemical pesticides for agricultural production and landscape management. the environmental risk of herbicides should be evaluated near sites of application, even though basic ecotoxicological tests have been conducted before they can be registered for marketing. for example, triazine herbicides, which are photosynthetic psii herbicide that c...

Member States of the European Union must ban burning arable stubble by 2023 and improve recycling organic waste into fertilizers farming practices 2030. The current lack nutrients from soils crops leads to food insecurity, human malnutrition diseases. Consequently, innovative solutions are required, as technosols constructed waste. objective this paper is educate on that some pruning residues c...

In general, Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille) are considered nonpests of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill], but changes in soil conservation practices have shifted the pest status of this organism from an opportunistic to a perennial, early-season pest in parts of central Kansas. As a result, soybean producers that rotate with corn (Zea mays L.) under conservation tillage practices have resort...
