This research focused on rill formation, rill density, and associated flow velocity distribution in rills at the field level and with different tillage treatments in the inland Pacific Northwest. The study was conducted by applying flow at three different rates under winter conditions, which provides the greatest potential for rill formation. The following tillage treatments were tested: chisel...

ABSTRACT The population density of the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, was monitored at depths of 0 to 30, 30 to 60, 60 to 90, and 90 to 120 cm in a tillage and crop sequence trial in south Texas in 2000 and 2001. Main plots were subjected to three different tillage systems: conventional tillage (moldboard plowing and disking), ridge tillage, and no-tillage. Subplots were planted w...

Rapeseed as one the most crops is the basic needs of human feeding in order to produce oil. A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of different tillage system, seeding method and rates on yield and its components, as well as, seed oil percentage of rapeseed (Brassica napus L. cv. Hyola-401) during 2011-12 growing season at Rice Research Institute of Iran-Department of Ma...

Tillage-induced changes in soil properties are difficult to predict, yet can influence evaporation, infiltration and howwater is redistributedwithin the profile after precipitation.We evaluated the effects of sweep tillage (ST) on near surface soil water dynamics as compared with an untilled (UT) soil during a 7-month period. Plots were established in a fallow field devoid of residue under stub...

chickpea (cicer arietinum) is the third most important pulse crop in the world, grown widely across asia and the middle east. weed is one of the main limiting factors in chickpea (cicer arietinum) production. several characteristics of chickpea (cicer arietinum), such as slow plant emergence, short plant height, and chickpea morphology allow weeds to compete effectively. to investigate the effe...

This study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...

conservation tillage, a fast growing practice in iran, is considered as a means to achieve sustainability in agricultural systems. this study was carried out to determine the effect of tillage systems (no-tillage, minimum tillage and conventional tillage ) on yield and yield components of three irrigated wheat varieties. the field experiment was conducted at the experimental station of the univ...

Effect of haying (hayed or not hayed prior to tillage), tillage (notillage, minimum tillage, or conventional tillage), and N fertilization (0 or 67 kg ha ') on surface infiltration rates, Q(h), was evaluated for Conservation Research Program (CRP) site conversion. Soils included Amor loam (fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Haplustoll) and Cabba silt loam (loamy, mixed, superactive, c...

A 2-year field study was conducted in the southern High Plains region of Texas to evaluate the effect of tillage system and cotton planting date window on seasonal abundance and activity patterns of predacious ground beetles. The experiment was deployed in a split-plot randomized block design with tillage as the main-plot factor and planting date as the subplot factor. There were two levels for...
