DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3688
Abstract: Abstract The increased use of pesticides and tillage intensification is known to negatively affect biodiversity. Changes in these agricultural practices such as herbicide and tillage reduction have variable effects among taxa, especially at the top… read more here.

Soil carbon dioxide emissions from maize ( Zea mays L.) fields as influenced by tillage management and climate*
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Irrigation and Drainage"
DOI: 10.1002/ird.2633
Abstract: Emissions of CO2 from the soil are the second-largest component of the global carbon cycle, which has altered the climate and led to climate change. The main aim of this research was to evaluate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20396
Abstract: In cold regions, nutrient losses from dairy agroecosystems are a longstanding and recurring problem, especially when manure is applied during winter over snow-covered frozen soils. This study evaluated two tillage (fall chisel and no-tillage) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7229
Abstract: Abstract BACKGROUND Tillage operations will change the distribution in soil for any pesticide residues still present from earlier applications. This redistributive effect of tillage has been neglected in the study of pesticide leaching behavior. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00374-021-01569-x
Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to investigate the impact of two improved tillage systems (conventional tillage combined with the incorporation of solid anaerobic digestate, no-tillage) on the prokaryotic community composition in two tree orchard… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-017-3401-z
Abstract: Background & aimA potential benefit of conservation agriculture (CA) is soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual, yet recent studies indicate limited or no impact of CA on total SOC in tropical agroecosystems. We evaluated biochemical indicators… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11123-018-0525-y
Abstract: Conservation tillage (CT) options are among the most rapidly spreading land preparation and crop establishment techniques globally. In South Asia, CT has spread dramatically over the last decade, a result of strong policy support and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11258-020-01073-6
Abstract: Several methods of tillage are among the practices most destructive to inland saline grasslands, and can result in their complete deterioration. Despite the high frequency of habitat destruction by these means, the recovery of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-017-0136-6
Abstract: Wheat productivity and profitability is low under conventional tillage systems as they increase the production cost, soil compaction, and the weed infestation. Conservation tillage could be a pragmatic option to sustain the wheat productivity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-017-8937-1
Abstract: Farmers often resort to an occasional tillage (strategic tillage (ST)) operation to combat constraints of no-tillage (NT) farming systems. There are conflicting reports regarding impacts of ST and a lack of knowledge around when, where… read more here.
