Specifically, we aimed to: compare strategies that incorporate soil characteristics into the models to compare tillage treatments; to determine the most useful soil characteristics for zone management delineation; and to compare tillage methods for site-specific management.
Although, the difference between tillage methods for corn yield and yield components was not statistically different, ZT method decreased corn thousand kernels weight, silage yield, and grain yield compared to the CT method for 11.1, 2.4, and 18.2%, respectively.
Compared with regular methods for disease control (fungicide spraying, conventional tillage, and intercropping), cultivation of GLS-resistant hybrids is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to reduce yield loss due to gray leaf spot [ 8].
This should eliminate the need for tillage, thus reducing mechanical damage to the soil.
Daouda N'Diaye, who cultivates a field at Boghé, complains about the limited number of tractors available for tillage.
The experiment compared four tillage methods (zero tillage, ZT; reservoir tillage, RT; minimum tillage, MT; and conventional tillage, CT).
The treatments consisted of five tillage methods (zero tillage with mulch, zero tillage without mulch, ploughing, ploughing plus harrowing and ploughing plus harrowing twice), and two rates of poultry manure at 0 and 7.5 Mg ha−1.
Fungal community for tillage to reduced tillage - (fung* OR arbuscular* OR mycorrhiza* OR saprotroph*) AND (tillage OR no-till OR reduced-till).
The same questions used to determine crop rotation were also used for tillage, and respondents were categorized into the same group types for this measurement.
In regions where sources of organic amendments are not readily available such as the intensive grain producing steppes, no-tillage practices are effective methods for soil moisture conservation and increasing SOM levels [ 180].
