Influences of tillage system, climate, and soils on the demand for topsoil in northcentral Oregon wheat production

Creator:

Hanrahan, Michael S.

Abstract:

Soil erosion research in the fields of agronomy, soils science and mechanics, agricultural engineering, hydrology, climatology, and other scientific disciplines has economic dimensions. In general, measurable and, at times, significant economic effects are associated with the effects of erosion in the other disciplines. Interactions between climate, soils, hydrology, and tillage...

Masters Thesis
Using strip tillage in vegetable production systems in western Oregon

Creator:

Luna, John, Staben, Mary, and Oregon State University. Extension Service

Abstract:

Strip tillage is a form of conservation tillage that involves tilling narrow strips for crop establishment while leaving areas between the strips with undisturbed crop residue. Strip tillage can reduce soil erosion and soil compaction, as well as machinery, fuel, and labor costs. Combined with winter cover crops, strip tillage...
