Soil compaction causes substantial reduction in agriculture productivity and has always
been of great distress for farmers. Intensive agriculture seems to be more crucial in causing …

Soil tillage practices can affect soil hydraulic properties and processes dynamically in space
and time with consequent and coupled effects on chemical movement and plant growth. This …

Soil organic matter is a key attribute of soil quality that impacts soil aggregation and water
infiltration. Two soils (Typic Kanhapludults), one under long-term management of …

No-tillage (NT) is becoming increasingly attractive to farmers because it clearly reduces
production costs relative to conventional tillage (CT). However, many producers in southern …

The relations between soil pore structure induced by tillage and infiltration play an important
role in flow characteristics of water and solutes in soil. In this study, we assessed the effect of …

Conservation tillage covers a range of tillage practices, mostly non‐inversion, which aim to
conserve soil moisture and reduce soil erosion by leaving more than one‐third of the soil …

Soil quality has evolved as an educational and assessment tool for evaluating relative
sustainability of soil resource management practices and guiding land-use decisions. This …

Recognition of the importance of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil health and quality is a
major part of fostering a holistic, preventive approach to agricultural management. Students …

To study the effects of fallow and tillage on soil physical properties and barley (Hordeum
vulgare L.) root growth, an experiment was conducted for several years on two soils of …

There is currently a demand to grow more crops in less area as a result of urbanization's
reduction of agricultural land. As a result, soil fertility is gradually declining. To maintain soil …
