Soil N2O emissions from three corn (Zea mays L.)-soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] systems in central Iowa were measured from the spring of 2003 through February 2005. The three managements systems evaluated were full-width tillage (fall chisel plow, spring disk), no-till, and no-till with a rye (Secale cereale L. 'Rymin') winter cover crop. Four replicate plots of each treatment were establishe...

this study was carried out to identify technical-agronomic factors impressible from fish farming in rice fields. this investigation carried out by descriptive survey during july-august 2009. studied cities including talesh, rezvanshahr and masal set in tavalesh region near to caspian sea, north of iran. the questionnaire validity and reliability were determined to enhance the dependability of t...

Recent developments in biofuel demand and the rapid adoption of modern transgenic hybrids are changing production systems towards more corn after corn, more intensive tillage, higher plant populations, and ever higher crop residue levels at harvest. Meeting society’s needs for food, feed, and fuel from grain corn, and in the future from corn stover, requires continued refinement of tillage syst...

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is well-adapted for the Central Great Plains and could be planted in a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-millet-fallow rotation, resulting in two crops in 3 yr. To determine the most suitable tillage system for proso millet production within this rotation, seven tillage management systems were evaluated over a 6-yr period (1972-1977). The research was condu...

The analysis of soil cultivation technologies for sowing melon crops was carried out. design a combined tillage tool capable plowing, pre-sowing treatment and formation irrigation furrows in one pass substantiated. main is recommended to be done by front plow tools smooth plowing. Plow bodies two bottom plows should mounted along the symmetry axis implement according lister scheme, which allows...
