Contrasting soil physical properties after zero and traditional tillage of an alluvial soil in the semi-arid subtropics
Zero till is commonly advocated as a preferred cropping system to conventional, multicultivation practices. Zero till is particularly attractive on clay soils, to minimise compaction and induce natural structure formation through shrink±swell cycles. Increases in soil water storage and increased numbers of (bene®cial) soil fauna with zero till have been reported, relative to traditional tillage...
متن کاملSoil Physical Properties Due to Different Tillage Systems in Dryland Regions of Northwestern Iran
Lack of sufficient information on conservation tillage systems leads to the dominating use of conventional tillage practice in most parts of Iran. Testing other management practices may help in decision making regarding the types of tillage systems that reduce soil deterioration. A three- years field experiment was conducted to study the effects of conventional (CT), reduced (RT) and no-till (N...
متن کاملSoil Management and Tillage
Soil is one of our most precious natural resources. Proper soil management is a key to sustainable agricultural production. Soil management involves six essential practices: proper amount and type of tillage, maintenance of soil organic matter, maintenance of a proper nutrient supply for plants, avoidance of soil contamination, maintenance of the correct soil acidity, and control of soil loss (...
متن کاملStrip-tillage effect on seedbed soil temperature and other soil physical properties
The no-tillage system is perceived as having lower soil temperatures, wetter soil conditions, and greater surface penetration resistance compared with conventional and other conservation tillage systems. Concerns associated with the effect of the no-tillage system on certain soil physical properties (i.e. soil temperature, moisture, and compaction) prompted this study to evaluate the effect of ...
متن کاملImpacts of Organic Zero Tillage Systems on Crops, Weeds, and Soil Quality
Organic farming has been identified as promoting soil quality even though tillage is used for weed suppression. Adopting zero tillage and other conservation tillage practices can enhance soil quality in cropping systems where synthetic agri-chemicals are relied on for crop nutrition and weed control. Attempts have been made to eliminate tillage completely when growing several field crops organi...
