in order to study of no-tillage, reduced tillage and conventional tillage systems on some soil physical properties, yield and some traits of wheat and chickpea, experiments were perfumed across two years in sarpolezahab’s dryland region.results of combined analysis of variance indicated that different tillage systems had significant effects (p≥0.01) on seed yield, volumetric soil moisture, bulk...

introduction phosphorus (p) is an essential element in crop nutrition, which can be growth limiting or an environmental contaminant, if present in excess. on the other hand, tillage practices have a direct effect on behavior and availability of soil p. since, application of different tillage methods lead to different patterns of soil phosphorus distribution, hence p fertilizer needs and p avail...

abstract methods of tillage and organic matter affect root growth and distribution and therefore nutrient uptake by plant and its growth. this study was performed consecutive two years. tillage treatments included disk harrowing + two disk harrowings as reduced tillage (15 cm plowing depth) and moldboard plowing + two disk harrowings as conventional tillage system (30 cm plowing depth). also, t...

this study carried out to evaluate the effect of different tillage systems on rapeseed yield (hayola 401) planted in corn residues. this experiment was done in moghan region with clay soils during 2009-2012. different seedbed preparation methods include mt: moldboard + disk tillage (conventional tillage was included), sct: stem crusher + chisel + disk tandem harrow, stt: stem crusher + double-d...

the effect of tillage (conventional and zero tillage), crop establishment (raised-bed and flat-bed), and weed management practices (herbicide alone and integrated approach) was studied on productivity, profitability, nutrient uptake and physico-chemical properties of soil in soybean–wheat cropping system, at new delhi during 2010–2012. sixteen treatment combinations consisting of four tillage a...

Sweetpotatoes, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. (Convolvulaceae), are typically grown on bare soil where weeds and erosion can be serious problems. Conservation tillage systems using cover crop residues as mulch can help reduce these problems, but little is known about how conservation tillage affects yield and quality of sweetpotato or how these systems impact populations of beneficial and pest insec...
