Tillage intensity by organic fertilization interaction on sunflower performance and some soil properties
Published in Helia
A field trail was performed to study the impacts of soil tillage system and some organic and inorganic fertilizers treatments on sunflower performance and soil characteristics in the semi-arid region across 2015–2016 growing season. The tillage systems were (T1) conventional tillage, and (T2) reduced tillage while the fertilizer treatments were (F1...
Soil tillage and agricultural crops affect greenhouse gas emissions from Cambic Calcisol in a temperate climate
Conventional soil tillage creates suitable conditions for plant growth, but it is an energy and labor-intensive technology causing ecologically unfavorable changes in the soil. In order to reduce GHG emissions from agricultural soils, reduced soil tillage and different crops have been proposed. However, the impact of individual practices on GHG emi...

Impact of Crop Rotation and Soil Tillage on the Severity of Winter Wheat Leaf Blotches
Published in Rural Sustainability Research
Reduced tillage is considered as one of the main tools to save biological diversity; however, it increases pressure of diseases, including wheat leaf blotches. The aim of present study was to clarify the impact of reduced soil tillage on the development of winter wheat leaf blotches in different schemes of crop rotation. The impact of different gro...
Cover crops promote crop productivity but do not enhance weed management in tillage-based cropping systems
Cover crops (CC) have been proposed as a promising ecological tool to manage weeds and increase crop productivity. We hypothesized that the repeated use of CC could increase crop yield directly through nitrogen release and/or indirectly through a modification of weed communities. Data were collected on CC biomass, weed biomass, weed community compo...
Wheat-Maize Intercropping With Reduced Tillage and Straw Retention: A Step Towards Enhancing Economic and Environmental ...
Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
Intercropping is considered a promising system for boosting crop productivity. However, intercropping usually requires higher inputs of resources that emit more CO2. It is unclear whether an improved agricultural pattern could relieve this issue and enhance agricultural sustainability in an arid irrigation area. A field experiment using a well-desi...
Abiotic and biotic factors affecting crop seed germination and seedling emergence: a conceptual framework
Published in Plant and Soil
BackgroundGlobal agriculture is undergoing a phase of agroecological transition. This transition will be characterized by adoption of agroecological cropping practices and by an increased diversity of soil management/tillage practices. However, very little is known as to whether or not crop seed germination and seedling emergence (hereafter referre...
Alternative Management Practices Improve Soil Health Indices in Intensive Vegetable Cropping Systems: A Review
Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science
An increase in intensive cropping would benefit society by providing food to a growing population, and vegetable production is an excellent example of intensive cropping systems that are indeed on the rise. Vegetable cropping systems are high-input and generally require large quantities of fertilization, frequent irrigation, and repeated tillage op...
Hur påverkar en övergång från konventionell plöjning till reducerad jordbearbetning avrinning från åkermark / How does a...
Jordbruk syftar till användandet av mark för produktion av livsmedel, foder och råvaror. Reducerad jordbearbetning uppstod ursprungligen under 1900-talet för att öka lönsamheten till följd av stigande priser på drivmedel. För att sänka förbrukningen av drivmedel började bönder att bearbeta åkermarken i grundare skikt. Inom det moderna jordbruket fi...
