“…Under the reduced tillage system and direct drilling, nutrients are unevenly distributed due to their greater accumulation in the top soil layer [5,7,17,55,[60][61][62]. Under such tillage conditions, the accumulation of crop residues in the surface soil layer promotes a higher concentration of P, K, and Mg, compared with conventional tillage [7,16,31,63].…”

“…In addition, the loss of SOM has a negative effect on soil structure, water capacity, and biological activity. It also increases susceptibility to water and wind erosion [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The degradation of the soil environment associated with conventional soil tillage results in a need to use new tillage technologies that will allow the biodiversity of biocenosis to be preserved, including soil conservation [7,8].…”

“…The chemical properties of soil depend on the content of the elements present in the soil, the forms in which they occur, and the changes they undergo. Furthermore, the chemical properties of soil also depend on soil fauna and vegetation, human activity, as well as cropping and soil use intensity [5,7,17,19,20]. According to Wróbel and Pabin [21], changes in soil chemistry under reduced tillage conditions adversely affect nutrient supply to plants.…”

One of the adverse effects of no-tillage is the accumulation of nutrients (in particular P and K) in the top soil layer. The subsurface application of mineral fertilizers at a depth of 10–30 cm can reduce this phenomenon and at the same time provide a relatively uniform access to soil nutrients for plant roots. Such a method of mineral fertilizer application can additionally decrease the environmental risk associated with water eutrophication because the water runoff from fields, where the soil P content is high, is reduced. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of the subsurface application of different rates of a compound mineral fertilizer on the content of some macronutrients, soil organic carbon content (SOC), and soil pH in a field after the harvest of soybean grown under reduced tillage conditions. The field experiment was conducted during the growing seasons of 2014/2015–2016/2017 in the village of Rogów, Zamość County, Poland. It was set up as a split-plot design in four replicates. The first experimental factor included two methods of mineral fertilization application: fertilizer broadcast over the soil surface (S); fertilizer applied deep (subsurface placed) using a specially designed cultivator (Sub-S). The other factor was the rates of the mineral fertilizer (NPKS): 85 kg∙ha−1 (F85) and 170 kg∙ha−1 (F170). Over the successive years of the study, the SOC content was found to increase. However, neither the fertilization rate nor the method of fertilizer application caused any significant difference in organic carbon. Under subsurface fertilizer application conditions, a higher soil pH was found in treatment F85, however, when the fertilizer was surface-applied, the soil in treatment F170 had a higher pH value. During the three-year study period, the P and K content in the 0–30 cm soil layer was higher than in the 30–60 cm and 60–90 cm layers. In turn, the highest Mg content was determined in the 30–60 cm layer. In the case of both mineral fertilizer application methods, a higher P content was determined in the soil fertilized at a rate of 170 kg NPKS, compared with a rate of 85 kg∙ha−1. The surface application of the higher rate of mineral fertilization resulted in an increase in the soil K content. On the other hand, when the mineral fertilizer was subsurface-applied, a higher soil K was determined in the treatments with lower mineral fertilization.

“…Soil pH is reported to affect the availability, solubility as well as mobility of micronutrients. Previous research has shown that at high pH concentration, soil organic carbon and micronutrients become less soluble resulting in low concentrations in soil solution [39]. The percentage of adsorption of micronutrients is low at low pH concentrations, hence, the highest concentration of micronutrients was in the soil under NT compared to CT and RT which recorded high pH levels.…”

Knowledge of the long-term complex relationship between soils, crops, and management practices, such as conservation agriculture, is critical in developing nutrient management strategies to optimise crop yields. This study examined the concentration, and the distribution of, soil micronutrients along the soil profile (0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm depths) under different tillage practices: no-till (NT), rotational tillage (RT), and conventional tillage (CT), and nitrogen fertilizer application rates (0, 100, 200 kg/ha) in a semi-arid environment after 17 years of implementation of the trial. The results found the lowest concentration (p < 0.05) of copper (Cu) (1.254 mg/kg) and iron (Fe) (22.671 mg/kg) in CT compared to NT [Cu (1.447 mg/kg), Fe (41,156 mg/kg)] and RT [Cu (2.389 mg/kg), Fe (120,437 mg/kg)] treatments. This correlated with the lower soil pH in NT compared to CT treatment, and slightly higher (p > 0.05) under NT (1.782 mg/g) compared to RT (1.715 mg/g) and CT (1.750 mg/g). There were no differences (p > 0.05) in zinc (Zn) in NT (2.856 mg/kg) and RT (2.782 mg/kg) but CT (2.010 mg/kg) treatment was significantly (p < 0.05) lower compared to these treatments. Manganese (Mn) also followed a similar trend whereby CT still had the lowest concentration (p < 0.05) of Mn (8.01 mg/kg) compared to RT (10.71 mg/kg) and NT (11.98 mg/kg). The concentration of Mn, Zn, and Fe was found to be similar (p > 0.05) with an increase in sampling depths. On the other hand, Cu was found to be different (p < 0.05) at different sampling depths. Manganese (10.46 mg/kg) and Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) (2.026 mg/g) were found to be concentrated near the 0–10 cm soil surface depth while Zn (2.558 mg/kg), Fe (66,217 mg/kg) and Cu (1.867 mg/kg) were more at the 20–30 cm depth in reduced tillage treatments. The results also showed no differences (p > 0.05) in the concentration of Cu, Mn, and Zn at different levels of nitrogen fertilizer under all tillage treatments. It was concluded that NT and rational tillage with mulch, favoured the availability of micronutrients (Cu, Mn, Fe, and Zn) in the studied cropping system.

“…It is regarded as a component of sustainable land management and better land husbandry approaches (Sastre et al 2018). Numerous investigations have reported that reduction in soil cultivation in relation to conservation or no tillage can significantly alter the distribution of plant available nutrients within the surface layer of soil (Singh et al 2020).…”

Background Hardsetting soils are considered problem soils due to its behavior of becoming hard and unbearable to cultivate not until rewetted. Few investigations were conducted in this kind of problem soil; hence, information about biomass yield and nutrient uptake is still elusive. This study investigated the impact of potentially hardsetting soil on the biomass yield and nutrient uptake of sweet corn under no-tillage cultivation system with varying fertilization treatments. Results The application of full NPK + 1 Mg ha−1 VC increased stover and grain yield by 26–106% and 11–135%, respectively. Approximately 64% and 112% of sweet corn stover and grain yield increased when treated with full NPK. Highly significant quadratic relationship (P < 0.001) was revealed between total biomass yield and nutrient uptake of sweet corn, implying that 98–99% of the variation in total biomass could be elucidated by its nutrient uptake. Further, this indicated the suitability of nutrient uptake function that could be used as an estimate in the progression of total biomass accumulation. The application of full NPK showed statistically significant (P < 0.001) nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency across treatments. The soil in the experimental area was a potentially hardsetting soil due to its rapid soil strength development at least 4 days from wetting. This implies that with continued use, proper soil management must be implemented like reduced tillage and organic matter application to facilitate structure formation and binding of soil particles by labile fraction in organic matter. Conclusion Application of organic amendment in combination with inorganic fertilizer could be a sustainable production strategy on sweet corn production system in potentially hardsetting soil under no tillage through enhanced nutrient uptake and biomass accumulation.
