Effects of different tillage systems on nitrate-nitrogen
accumulation in a 120 cm profile and on soil structure in the top 30 cm
of the profile were studied under a fallow-wheat rotation.
Treatment effects on nitrate-nitrogen, soil moisture and soil
aggregation were measured.
Fallow tillage treatments consisting of bare fallow, stubble-mulch...
No-tillage winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in a
wheat-fallow cropping system has consistently produced lower grain
yields than conventionally tilled soils in the semiarid Pacific
Northwest. A 2-year study was conducted in a long-term tillage trial
at Moro, OR to determine factors responsible for differences in wheat
growth and...
