The CTIC identified five types of conservation tillage systems:-no-tillage (slot planting),-mulch tillage,-strip or zonal tillage,-ridge till (including no-till on ridges) and-reduced or minimum tillage. (1973). Soil Tillage Res., 3: 261-275, Frietas P.L. The improved grain output of wheat was primarily due to increased tiller development in CT treatments during both the years. (1988). rice–wheat–greengram, rice–Lathyrus–greengram, rice–lentil–greengram and rice–rapeseed–greengram in terms of system productivity, nutrient uptake by the system, recovery efficiency (RE) of added nutrients, soil microbial population and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission in alluvial soil of eastern India. (2006). Annu. The ST significantly (P < 0.01) decreased BD and PR within 30 cm of soil surface. 1) conventional tillage - fall fallow; 2) conservation tillage - fall fallow; 3) conservation tillage - fall double crop; 4) conservation tillage - fall cover crop. Soil Sci. J. “We can really see an improvement in earthworm populations going from a conventional program to a no-till program,” he says. Our findings suggest that sustainable cropping systems on hillslopes integrating a blend between organic and conventional doctrines better maintain or improve soil ecosystem functioning. Soil Tillage Res. 49, 1270-1273, Hopp, H., and Slater, C.S. Water contents in 30–60 and 60–90 cm soil layers in the TS4 practice also were higher than the TS1 practice values.

Higher water contents of soil of the sowing period in TS4 provided higher stand density. Here, we show a substantial improvement in soil health restoration using the organic rather than a conventional system. Conservation and conventional tillage greatly affect bulk density and soil aggregation. By Maureen Kuwano Hinkle. Lead content was found higher at surface soil in comparison to 15 cm depth at all the ten sites. However, if deep-rooted perennial weeds persist, CT with broad-spectrum herbicides may be occasionally required. Local farmers usually carry out tillage by slashing and burning the vegetation before sometimes, ploughing. Soil Till. (2002). Doran, J.W. 0000002271 00000 n Similarly, SOC concentrations and reserves were greatest in CC and least in CSB, with intermediate values for SB-C in all tillage systems. The implementation of sustainable soil management strategies is vital for hillslopes and low-fertility soils where plantations cover vast tracts of land. For the 0–30-cm depth, compared to the TS1 practice, the TS4 practice provided higher water contents of soil by 21.3, 22.1, 14.4, 15.7 and 17.4% in sowing, winter, spring, harvesting and the whole year periods, respectively. Environ. In conventional tillage, farmer turns over the soil to loosen it and make it workable or with the intention to enhance the growth of the crops. These de doctorat, Institute Agro-nomique et Veterenaire Hassan II. Research on Minnesota farms shows that conservation tillage can greatly reduce soil erosion, with minimal effect on crop yields and often at lower production costs than conventional tillage. Am.Soc. Conservation tillage systems show higher net returns vs. conventional tillage Fields using conservation tillage practices achieved higher net returns per acre than conventionally tilled fields for both corn (Table 1) and soybeans (Table 2). Res. Small granules will provide good seed-to-soil contact for water absorption, while larger granules provide some wind erosion protection. Lead has been widely used as additive in gasoline in last century and has been phased out all over world now. The crop rotation at the experimental areas was winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), soybean (Glycine max. Frye, W.W.(1984). 0000000676 00000 n R., et al. May The conservation-tillage fields averaged 540,000 earthworms per acre, compared to just 285,000 in conventional tillage. Lime was essential for highest yields with both tillage methods but the yield increase due to surface applied lime in no-tillage culture averaged 31.3%, compared to a 13.5% yield increase due to incorporated, lime in conventional tillage culture. Therefore, the depth of disc plough is higher which provides good soil aeration and water infiltration for the wheat crop to move easily in the soil as compared to rotavator. 0 Considerably it can save 20-30% of water. (1986). Edition 1st Edition. Field research was conducted at Hancock, WI, from 1985 through 1987 to evaluate effects of conventional tillage, chisel plow, ridge tillage, and no-tillage systems on population dynamics and control of annual weed species in corn grown continuously on a loamy sand soil without irrigation. This chapter discusses a variety of environmental concerns regarding … Consequently, no-till or reduced tillage systems that do not have the soil surface covered by residue in irder to prevent formation of crust as a result of raindrop impact, tend to lose water through runoff in a region where water economy is essential. Although the amount of weeds in winter wheat plots was the highest in the TS4 practice (67.4 kg ha−1) when considering three-year average values, grain yield in TS4 was also high (2652 kg ha−1) and statistically similar to TS1 (2762 kg ha−1). A study was conducted to evaluate the economic feasibility of no-till and ridge-tillage systems as compared to conventional tillage in cotton by comparing costs, yields and net returns on a per acre basis. Field experiments were conducted to study the effects of various tillage and mulching practices on fruit maturity and weed suppression in Pumpkins. However, some researchers indicated that the no-till treatment can increase infiltration due to higher surface residue and macropore connectivity between the top and bottom soil layers ( Strudley et al., 2008; ... At the same time, the no-till practice could reduce the loss of soil moisture to the atmosphere through evaporation. Khan, Pakistan to examine tillage and herbicide effects on weed control and cotton yield in wheat-cotton system. The two treatments evaluated at 25 farmer’s field were a) improved technologies i.e. Conventional tillage seeding systems should only use tillage required to achieve a reasonably level, uniform, well-packed, granular surface structure with a mix of granules in the one to five millimetres size. ; Echinochloa spp. The experiment was arranged in split plot in RCBD with 4, The use of conservation tillage systems for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] This person is not on ResearchGate, or hasn't claimed this research yet. These conservation tillage all involve less tillage system in comparison to the conventional tillage which involve plowing with 2-3 times harrowing and one time furrowing then crop planting. The study of aggregates is one way to quantify whether or not the management is improving the soil natural characteristics and agricultural capacity. and Gemtos, T.A.

No significant differences in SOC concentrations were obtained among tillage treatments in any depth in a partial sampling of a study that was done in 1989. Rob. two conventional (CT-1 and CT-2), three reduced (RT-1, RT-2 and RT-3) and two no-till (NT and ST), including strategic/occasional tillage. In: Physiology and Determination of Crop Yield. Znut.Cycl. 1. The maximum microbial population was found in ZT. Conservation tillage decreases soil erosion, leaching of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides into the ground water. Mark shows the difference between no till, vertical tillage and conventional tillage in two fields. Therefore, conventional (CT), reduced-1 and 2, and no-tillage (NT) practices were tested with randomized block design as three replications. Agric. (1984). Inst.

Thus, benefits of the zero tillage could be realized only after retaining proper mulch loads and with proper control of weeds. 0000015945 00000 n The no-tillage system had the best aggregation indices for the 0–20 cm layer due to the increase in the organic carbon content. At well, B.J. Letcombe Lab. of Agrl. Conventional Tillage: Ecological and Environmental Considerations book. There was no clear effect on water use efficiency of winter wheat of the no-tillage practice compared to conventional tillage practice. Soil properties and lead content in agricultural soils from rural areas of Gwalior at ten different sites were assessed. Mahli, S.S., et al. Do not till wet or saturated soils -- this can create large clods. The definition by Ahn andHintze (1990) states that tillage is any physical loosening of the soil as carried out ina range … The soil erosion rates are high in the rainfed olive (Olea europaea L.) mountain plantations applying conventional practices in a semi-arid Mediterranean environment, which compromise their long-term sustainability. 2, 155-175. and Nelson, W.W. (1973). Attempts were made to evaluate the different tillage practices viz. Weed management in India is critical to improve crops productivity by minimizing weeds caused crop yield losses and to alleviate other adverse effects of weeds in different ecosystems. 0000001220 00000 n The maximum N2O emission was recorded in ZT, which was almost 3–6% higher than that of RT and CT, respec-tively. Soil moisture conservation is key priority for improving land and water productivity in all soil textural classes and under every agro-climatic condition. The greatest opportunity of Indian weed science is the potentiality of appropriate weed management technologies to substantially improve the crops productivity. Main objectives of conservation agriculture is reducing tillage, year round cropping, crop rotation, mulching may be live or residue. Contaminated soils have several negative impacts on environment including degradation of water quality, decrease in crop yield and crop quality. Lime increased corn yield more than twice as much in no-tillage culture as in conventional tillage. In ' Congresso Latino Americano de Ciencia do solo 10. Conservation tillage resulted in higher O-alkyl carbon while conventional tillage enriched alkyl carbon, suggesting a more enhanced decomposition stage of soil OM under conventional tillage … et al eds) Madison, WI. Tillage treatment and cropping system both significantly affected SOC concentrations and reserves at all depths in 2004, but only bulk density at a few depths. (2006) [11] recorded higher rates of carbon accumulation under zero tilled conditions (around 0.4-1.7 t C ha -1 year -1 ) relative to tilled conditions. Conservation tillage improves activity of earth worm and other soil micro flora. Can.J. Cereal dominated cropping system (rice–wheat–greengram) showed higher productivity and nutrient uptake, however, the recovery efficiency of nutrient and microbial population was recorded higher in legume dominated cropping systems (rice–lentil–greengram or rice–Lathyrus–greengram). Conservation tillage encompasses many different levels within a reduced tillage menu. 25: 77-123, Barberi, P and Blo Cascio. Sciences, Bangalore. Implementation of ST into conservational practices under Mediterranean climate could be a viable management option to overcome some of the disadvantages of long-term conservation tillage and thereby to improve physical soil conditions for crop growth, air and water movement. These soil characteristics are influenced by land uses and help in restoration of soil quality [1]. for three years (2011–12, 2012–13 and 2013–14). This study evaluated the effects on SOC of three cropping systems (continuous corn [CC], continuous soybean [CSB], and soybean–corn [SB-C]) in six, Long-term no-till or reduced tillage may decline functioning ability of soils due to surface/subsurface com-paction and/or stratification of plant nutrients. Parthenium hysterophorus L.; Phalaris minor Retz. (2004). (1993). Rio de Janeiro, Anais'. Scientific Res. INTRODUCTION Soil productivity is dependent on physical, chemical and biological characteristics of soil. The effect on cropping efficiency, machine productivity and development economy of two tillage cum (Vermicompost and FYM manure, Urea, and DAP) or two facts regarding the application of foliar spray and without zinc fertilizers were evaluated. Our results indicated that the no-till vetch–winter wheat rotation could be more suitable than the conventional tilled fallow–winter wheat rotation due to the opportunity of high crop production in semi-arid regions. In the joint management of inorganic or organic nitrogen, significant and maximum grain (4.63 t/ha) and straw (8.97 t/ha) yield, weight of spike (2.68 g), length of grain (6.49 mm), breadth of grain (3.29 mm) and length: breadth ratio of grain (1.98) were recorded during 2015-16, However purely chemical fertilizer applied treatment recorded during first year significant and maximum number of tillers per hill (3.14), leaf area index (2.31), plant dry matter (13.09 g plant-1), grain yield (4.00 t ha-1), straw yield (7.87 t ha-1), number of grains per spike (42.42) and weight of spike (2.62 g), respectively.Soil cultivation by CT with fertilized fertilizer at the prescribed total dose of nitrogen 120 kg/ha, in which ½ nitrogen through organic (Vermicompost 3000 kg/ha) and ½ through inorganic (Urea, 117.69 kg/ha and (Diammonium phosphate (DAP) 32.60 kg/ha) during second year with foliar applications of zinc (2.50 kg/ha) were found to increase crop productivity and resilience in management.Soil chemical quality status increased after second year of experiment in combined used of MT (1 ploughing by tractor drawn rotavator) and organic (Vermicompost 4500 kg/ha) and inorganic fertilization ½ through inorganic (Urea, 44.16 kg/ha and (Diammonium phosphate (DAP) 48.91kg/ha) with foliar applications of zinc (2.50 kg/ha). Conservation tillage decreases soil erosion, leaching of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides into the ground water. (2006) reported higher carbon accumulation rates (around 0.4-1.7 t C ha -1 year -1 ) under zero tilled conditions compared to tilled condition. (1987). South African J.Plant and Soil. Similarly, maximum most of the growth attributes, productivity components and physical quality charcters were recorded in CT tillage practice. The effects of two tillage systems and three crop rotations on the aggregation indices were studied. Conservation tillage improves activity of earth worm and other soil micro flora. in the New Millennium on Eco-Friendly Weed Management Other advantages include reduced fuel and labor requirements. zero tillage (ZT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT) under rice based various cropping systems viz. The mean olive yield was not significantly affected by the production system applied, being 2.43, 2.10, 2.04, and 2.11 t ha-1 year-1 for integrated, organic, conservation, and conventional, respectively. In cropped area, use of heavy tillage implement led to deposition of clay in sub-surface layer and this could result in reduced porosity and drainage, and increase water retention. J. The heavy metal content in arable soils is affected by soil characteristics and cropping practices [9]. 52 0 obj <>stream Soil samples were analyzed for aggregate stability (AS), mean weight diameter (MWD), bulk density (BD), water filled pore space (WFPS), water content at field capacity (FC), permanent wilting point (PWP), available water content (PAW), micropores (MiP), macropores (MaP), total por-osity (TP), and penetration resistance (PR). Increase in lead content of agricultural soils has been found near industrial areas and high ways. Options for Sustainable Agriculture. (1983). One of the basic and important components of agricultural production technology is soiltillage. Treatments consisted of two planting systems (conventional-tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT)), under three crop rotations (soybean/wheat/soybean (S/W/S), maize/wheat/maize (M/W/M) and soybean/wheat/maize (S/W/M)) and two layer depths, 0–20 and 20–40 cm, arranged in a split plot design with three replications. The key is to balance residue management with improving soil structure, ensuring that you maintain at least 30 percent residue on the surface to minimize wind and water erosion throughout the winter and early spring. Conservation tillage decreases soil erosion, leaching of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides into the ground water. Similarly, improved practices had higher sustainability yield index (0.63), sustainability value index (0.47), higher water expense efficiency (74.92 kg ha-1 cm-1), gross water productivity (16.58 ₹ m-3), net water productivity (11.89 ₹ m-3) and incremental benefit cost ratio (30.1) over farmers practice. Therefore, NT practice could be recommended as the best practice for rainfed crop rotation in semi-arid regions. Producers must consider the advantage and disadvantages of a tillage system before changing systems. Donovan, J.T. 0000009972 00000 n Malhi, S.S., et al. Heavy metals in food chain is hazardous for human health [5]. Sometimes subsequent tillage system follows with series of cultivation (hill-up operation and weeding). Moreover, a crop rotation allowing sustainable and continuous production can be created. However, a vast yield gap exists between potential yield and the actual yield obtained due to partial adoption of recommended package of practices by the farmers. Copyright © . (1994). Soils and Crops Workshop. Solublity of metals is influenced by pH of soil, redox potential, complexing agents such as carbonates, sulphates, chlorides and organic acids [10, 11] Lead (Pb) is a major heavy metal pollutant in water and soil. 23-24:176, Dick, W.A., et al. Tillage includes all operations of seedbed preparation that optimize soil andenvironmental conditions for seed germination, seedling establishment and crop growth (Lal1983). particularly the Sahelian zones where the soils are sandy, have high bulk densities and therefore low total porosities and form crusts upon wetting and drying. Seedling emergence is critical for better establishment of crop. Conservation tillage logarithmically decreased CO2 emissions and the lowest value was determined in NT with 71.4% reduction compared with the CT value (137.4 kg CO2 ha−1). Regardless of which, the success in soil management to maintain its quality depends on the understanding of how the soil properties respond to its disturbance through tillage practices over time. Samples were collected at the IAPAR Experimental Station, Londrina, state of Parana, Brazil, from an experiment that has been carried out for 21 years in a dystrophic red latosol (Typic Haplorthox). Therefore, the effect of four different tillage practices in a Hungarian vetch–winter wheat crop rotation (CR1) compared to fallow–winter wheat crop rotation (CR2) for water use efficiency was investigated in a semi-arid region with a high altitude (∼1750 m a.s.l.) The results obtained from various studies showed that the no-till treatment caused lower infiltration rates ( Abu-Hamdeh, 2002;Lipiec et al., 2006;Matula, 2003). Average redroot pigweed densities in the no-tillage and chisel plow systems were 307 and 245 plants m ⁻² compared to less than 25 plants m ⁻² in the conventional and ridge tillage systems. Nine-year old undisturbed no-till plots were divided into two categories and half of these plots were plowed by a moldboard plow in November 2015, and this practice was defined as strategic tillage (ST), while remaining half of the plots left undisturbed. All rights reserved. and Cruse, R.M. Bras, 35: 157-170. The pH and exchangeable Ca and AI in the 10 to 20-cm soil layers from tilled and nontilled soil were almost identical. ha-1), haloxyfop + lactofen, hand weeding, and weedy check. However, RT with broad-spectrum herbicides had the maximum weed reduction and lowest dry weed biomass (DWB). ABSTRACT . Corn yield differences among tillage systems when the same herbicide treatment was applied appeared to be due to differences in weed control. The technology gap is a major concern in achieving optimum and sustained production. Thus, it appears probable that the principal mechanism for the yield reduction caused by the lack of lime was reduced growth. Fields using conservation tillage practices achieved higher net … Moreover, diverse problems with socio-economic and infrastructural backwardness do not allow the farmers to additional invest on the use of improved production technologies. Soil Tillage Res., 17: 115-124. et al. Fallow–winter wheat crop rotation under conventional tillage conditions is an agricultural system widely used in semi-arid regions. and Gerzabek, M.H. J. Ehlers, W., et al. With appropriate adjustments to crop management, conservation tillage offers a low-risk way of substantially reducing sediment and phosphorus losses from cropland to streams, rivers and lakes. The water losses with evaporation rise if soil surface is bare. (1977). replications. In the present review, attempt was made to come out with an effective integrated approach which could be used for successful adoption of the zero tillage in north Indian region. 2 . Common lambsquarters density in the chisel plow system reached nearly 500 plants m ⁻² compared to less than 75 plants m ⁻² in the other tillage systems when averaged over years. Crop rotation and also mixed cropping improves soil fertility and also it reduces soil erosion. (1969). Green foxtail and redroot pigweed were more difficult to control in chisel plow and no-tillage than in the conventional and ridge tillage systems with several herbicide treatments. World population is going on increasing, it may be 2.4 billion by 2050, but stabilizing the yield of crop is questionable in Indian agriculture due to improper management of agricultural land. J. (2006). Water use efficiency for the increased corn grain yield due to lime in no-tillage was calculated to be almost three times that in conventional tillage. The highest weed infestation, seedling density and the shortest emergence time were determined in this practice. Gregory, P.J. Information on the subject is not presently available but is needed to guide growers in neutralizing soil acidity caused by high rates of nitrogen applied to corn.Because the absence of tillage precludes the mixing of lime with soil when no-tillage corn (Zea mays L.) is grown, an experiment was conducted to determine if surface application would be effective.
