Defining tillage need for edible bean production under no-tillage: Classical and time series analyses

Best tillage practices for eucalyptus growth and productivity: A review on the Brazilian experience

“…However, if used improperly, tillage techniques can physically, chemically and biologically degrade the soil in a few years of use, reducing its productivity potential (Gonçalves et al, 2000). Since soil tillage changes physical, hydraulic and mechanical properties of the soil and, consequently, crop development and productivity (Klein et al, 2009;Fasinmirin and Reichert, 2011; Reichert et al, 2019Reichert et al, , 2020aAwe et al, 2020), soil physical environment is decisive for the initial growth of eucalyptus (França et al, 2021;Reichert et al, 2021b). Initial development is defined as the period between planting and the closing of the canopy, which occurs between the ages of one and two years for plantations with a spacing of 6 to 9 m² (Stape et al, 2002).…”

Critical Limits for Soybean and Black Bean Root Growth, Based on Macroporosity and Penetrability, for Soils with Distinct Texture and Management Systems

“…With soil compaction, there are several negative effects on soil functioning, from its direct interference on nutrient uptake by plants, such as phosphorus and potassium that are absorbed by plants by diffusion, to reduced crop productivity, increased production costs, and reduction in leaf area due to the increased production of abscisic acid by plant roots [1]. Reduced root growth and changes in soil physical properties due to compaction have been observed in many crops, such as soybean [2][3][4][5][6][7], corn [8][9][10][11][12], wheat [13][14][15][16], edible black beans [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], rice [25,26], cassava [27][28][29][30][31], onions [32], Crambe [33], sugarcane [34,35], tobacco [36], cover crops [37,38], pastures/grasslands [39][40][41][42][43][44][45], and forest plantations…”

Is cassava yield affected by inverting tillage, chiseling or additional compaction of no-till sandy-loam soil?

“…However, soil compaction has been a problem due to machine traffic and natural reconsolidation. Soil chiseling is a tillage method used to reduce surface soil compaction in no-tillage systems by reducing soil bulk density and enhancing pore space (Cavalieri et al, 2006;Klein and Camara, 2007;Fasinmirin and Reichert, 2011;Awe et al, 2020;Reichert et al, 2020a;França et al, 2021;Reichert et al, 2021a;Rosa et al, 2021). Conventional tillage, the traditional tillage method used for cassava (Santos et al, 2020;Thomaz and Fidalski, 2020), is another option for decreasing soil compaction, but the excessive disturbance from soil inverting and mixing by plowing and disking causes undesirable effects such as soil disaggregation, with further exposion to rainfall impact (Lima et al, 2015), especially in sandy soils that are highly prone to erosion (Cantalice et al, 2005;Silva et al, 2020;Thomaz and Fidalski, 2020).…”
