Yam Staking Reduces Soil Loss Due to Crop Harvesting under Agronomic Management System: Environmental Effect of Soil Carbon Loss
نویسندگان
چکیده
The staking (elevating creeping vines above the ground with poles) of yam is practiced to optimize crop yield, but its effect on soil loss due harvesting (SLCH-soil adhering harvested tubers) and associated carbon has not been investigated globally. A 3-year field experiment was conducted study (Dioscorea rotundata) SLCH examine environmental loss. Staking reduced by 55.6% increased yield 33.3% when compared un-staking. Soil root hair weight per tuber decreased 47.7 58.4%, respectively, under un-staking practices. higher moisture (≃42%) exported two times more soil-available nutrients (N, P, K Ca) than staking. also linearly related (R2 = 0.88–0.75; p < 0.05) content 0.79–0.63; 0.05). lower ratio coupled moderate mound in neutralized reducing Thus, mitigates which can increase sequestration potential stock.

Effect of Slope Gradient and Soil Physical Properties on Soil Loss in Furrows of Rainfed Farms
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of slope gradient and soil physical properties (grain size distribution, bulk density, aggregate stability and permeability) on water erosion in the furrows of rainfed farms under fallow conditions. The furrows with 6 m length were installed in five rainfed farms with 6.1, 10.6, 14.8, 20.7 and 27.1% slope steepness at three replications. Resul...

This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of crop rotation and various tillage systems onthe chemical and biological properties of soil in the years 2013-2015. The first order factorincluded cropping systems: a) crop rotation (pea – winter wheat – spring wheat) and b)monoculture of winter wheat, whereas the second order factor were tillage systems:1) conventional (CT), 2) reduced (RT) and 3...
متن کاملThe potential of responsible peatland management to reduce global soil carbon loss and greenhouse gas emissions
Peatlands represent the largest single global store of soil carbon. Despite providing a natural long-term CO2 sink, drainage and conversion to agricultural and silivicultural management of peatlands has converted them into large net contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (~2.5% of all anthropogenic emissions, primarily from Europe and SE Asia). Drainage-based agriculture on peatl...
متن کاملSoil 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...
