The excessive application of manure on cropland areas can cause nutrients to accumulate near the soil surface and increase nutrient transport by overland flow. Inverting soils with high surface nutrient content could reduce runoff nutrient transport. This study was conducted to measure the effects of moldboard plowing on the redistribution of nutrients within the soil profile and nutrient trans...

Compared to conventional tillage (CT) system (e.g. moldboard plowing (Moldboard-CT) and chisel (Chisel-CT)) adoption rate of conservation systems no-till (NT) strip-till (ST)) in surface- irrigated farms is considerably low. A three-year field study was conducted evaluate corn (Zea mays L) productivity four ranging intensity soil disturbance (i.e. Moldboard-CT, Chisel-CT, ST, NT) a furrow-irrig...

Tillage and crop rotation system effects on corn (Zea mays L.) growth and development have been studied extensively over the past 30 years, but most studies have principally focused on the effects of tillage and crop rotation on mean corn response parameters such as plant height, grain moisture content, and grain yield. As a result, many agronomists and growers have concluded that instances of ...

Tillage and nitrogen (N) fertilization can influence soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics, but their interactive effects remain contradictory. A long-term (25 yr) corn (Zea mays L.)-soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) rotation was used to investigate the effect of tillage [moldboard plow (MP) no-till (NT)] N rates (0, 80, 160 kg N·ha −1 ) on carbon (SOC), total (STN), respiration, SOM fractions [parti...

the seedbed preparation and cereal residue present due to limit of maize (zea mays l.) growing period are a major challenge in double cropping after winter cereals in iran as: shahrekord. in this research, effects of various seedbed preparation methods and crop residuea managements on vegetative growth and yield of forage maize (ksc 704) were studied in a barley-maize double cropping during 200...

rotation is also more effective in preventing deep leaching of nitrate N than continuous corn (Katupitiya et al., Reduced tillage, including no-till, and crop rotation are common 1997; Varvel and Peterson, 1990). Reduced stress from practices for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production in the Midwest. Benefits of no-till vary with latitude pests may be one of the reas...

The availability of renewable energy does not meet the demands of consumption. Hence, fossil fuels will continue to be an important energy source, and coal promises to cover the requirements for the coming decades. Because of its high energy content, deep lying bituminous coal and anthracite are important for energy generation. One trend in the future of coal mining is thin seam mining, because...
