Inter-row tillage for improved soil and water conservation and crop yields on crusted Alfisols
In the semi-arid tropics (SAT), 33% areas are occupied by Alfisols and related soils. In SAT these soils have low structural stability and thereby tend to form seal and crusts at the surface. Due to this a large proportion of the rain that falls on Alfisols during the early part of the rainy season, is normally lost as runoff thus causing high soil loss as well as moisture stress to crops. Two ...
متن کاملTerrestrial plant productivity and soil moisture constraints
Croplands cover 12% of the ice-free land surface and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Light use efficiency (LUE) models have often been employed to estimate the exchange of CO2 between croplands and the atmosphere. A key parameter in these models is the maximum light use efficiency ( *NPP), but estimates of *NPP vary by at least a factor 2. Here we used 12 agricultural eddy-fl...
متن کاملinfluence of gully erosion on soil moisture of abandoned farming dry land and rangeland in loess land (case study: kale-shour watershed, golestan province)
increased soil dryness of hillsides and lands around the gully causes the aggravation of the gully erosion which leads to the desertion of the environment. soil moisture contents are various in different soil depths, gully positions, and in various land uses. these are fundamental for ecosystem sustainability in arid and semi-arid area. therefore, understanding the behavior of soil moisture in ...
متن کاملTillage Effects on Soil Health and Crop Productivity: A Review
The cultivation of agricultural soils has until recently predominantly been achieved by inverting the soil using tools such as the plough. Soil tillage is one of the basic and important components of agricultural production technology. Various forms of tillage are practised throughout the world, ranging from the use of simple stick or jab to the sophisticated para-plough. The practices develope...
متن کاملBiochar: Effects on Crop Productivity and Soil Properties
World food security is under challenge to a great extent due to effects of climate change, continued population growth and resource-depleting practices on agriculture (IAASTD, 2009). Presently poor farmers use either organic manure or inorganic fertilizers (Mando et al., 2005; Topoliantz et al., 2005) for maintaining soil fertility as they cannot afford to apply fertilizers as a nutrient source...
