Soil and crop management under conservation agriculture in Zimbabwe
Carbon mitigation strategies and mechanisms have been globally implemented in an attempt to prevent catastrophic climate change. Kyoto targets require reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and increases in carbon sequestration. Although a number of carbon neutral technologies have been adopted such as bio-fuel and alternative energies, these currently fail to meet global requirements. An innov...
متن کاملImpacts of manure application on soil environment, rainfall use efficiency and crop biomass under dryland farming
Because of inadequate nutrient and water supply, soils are often unproductive in Northwest China. We studied the effects of manure application at low (LM 7.5 t ha(-1)), medium (MM 15 t ha(-1)), and high (HM 22.5 t ha(-1)) rates combined with fixed levels of chemical fertilizers on maize growth and rainfall use efficiency compared with chemical fertilizers (CK) under semi-arid conditions over a...
متن کاملCrop Rotation Effects on Soil Microbial Populations, Biomass and Diversity under Wheat in a Brown Loam
The inclusion of grain and green manure (GM) or forage legumes in cereal production systems on the Prairies does improve the fertility and quality of soils (Wright 1990; Campbell et al. 1992; Green and Biederbeck 1995; Biederbeck et al. 1998). Legume-based cropping systems can also reduce nitrogen losses and greatly increase the proportion of crop residuecarbon that is sequestered in stable soi...

Power, J.F., Wilhelm, W.W. and Doran, J.W., 1986. Crop residue effects on soil environment and dryland maize and soya bean production. Soil Tillage Res., 8 : 101-111. The research reported here provides data on the effects of crop residues o n the surface of no-till soil upon the soil environment and resulting biological activity, including crop growth. For maize (Zea mays L.) and soya bean [Gl...
متن کاملTillage and Crop Rotation Effects on Dryland Soil and Residue Carbon and Nitrogen
Sustainable management practices are needed to enhance soil productivity in degraded dryland soils in the northern Great Plains. We examined the effects of two tillage practices [conventional till (CT) and no-till (NT)], five crop rotations [continuous spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (CW), spring wheat-fallow (W-F), spring wheat-lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) (W-L), spring wheat-spring whea...
