many farmers periodically use deep tillage operations to alleviate compaction in the soil profile caused by natural factors or machinery traffic. in 2012 and 2013, a study was initiated in the pannonian region of croatia to study the effects of no-tillage (nt), conventional tillage (ct) and deep tillage (dt) on soil compaction, measured by (bd), soil water content (swc), penetration resistance ...

Soil C change and CO2 emission due to different tillage systems need to be evaluated to encourage the adoption of conservation practices to sustain soil productivity and protect the environment. We hypothesize that soil C storage and CO2 emission respond to conservation tillage differently from conventional tillage because of their differential effects on soil properties. This study was conduct...

The effects of long term no-till and crop residue on soil microbial community catabolic function and relevant carbon cycle in the rhizosphere and bulk soils were assessed in the 10th year of a maize-winter wheat-soybean crop rotation. Conventional and zero tillage were coupled with residue removal and residue retention in a factorial design. Soil microbial community catabolic diversity was dete...

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...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term reduced tillage on yield and weeds of spring barley. treatments consisted of three tillage systems including: (a) conventional tillage (ct), (b) reduced tillage (rt), and (c) herbicide tillage (ht) as the main plot, and two cultivars of spring barley (tocada and rastik) as subplots. the results showed that the yield of both cultivars...

the effect of tillage (conventional and zero tillage), crop establishment (raised-bed and flat-bed), and weed management practices (herbicide alone and integrated approach) was studied on productivity, profitability, nutrient uptake and physico-chemical properties of soil in soybean–wheat cropping system, at new delhi during 2010–2012. sixteen treatment combinations consisting of four tillage a...

dryland winter wheat (triticum sativum l.) generally grown in rotation with fallow or chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) constitutes a major crop in the west region of iran. information is limited on the success of more intensive dryland cropping systems while applying conservation tillage management. an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of five tillage systems on soil physical proper...
