“…The average grain yield in the experiment was 7.12 t ha -1 and about 2 t ha -1 higher than the average of Lithuanian farms. Similarly with our findings, Alarcón et al (2018) in 9-year Spanish field investigations found, that annual meteorological variability had higher impact on yield of the legumes (pea and vetch) than the tillage systems. Arvidsson et al (2014) concluded, that pea yields in shallowly non-inversely tilled plots were similar or slightly lower than in ploughed ones under Swedish conditions.…”

Decreased tillage intensity can contribute to a reduced agro-technological footprint and stabilise the negative impact of climate change, especially in leguminous crop cultivation. For this reason, a long-term (since 1988) stationary field experiment has been performed on silty loam Planosol (in Lithuania). The main objective of this study was to establish the influence of sustainable tillage and no-tillage systems on soil aggregate stability to water, penetration resistance, enzymatic activity, abundance of earthworm and faba bean grain yield. Five different tillage systems were investigated: conventional deep and shallow mouldboard ploughing, deep chiselling, shallow disking and no-tillage. No-tillage in faba bean cultivation significantly increased soil structural stability by 40–97%, saccharase content by 0.7–2.0 times, urease activity by 3–4 times, the average quantity of earthworm by 55% and the biomass by 3.6 times. The impact of other ploughless tillage systems on soil properties was positive but not as significant. Faba bean grain yield was more influenced by growing seasons than by different tillage methods.

“…Avena sterilis management has become difficult in recent years with the development of biotypes that are resistant to a large number of herbicides (Heap 2020;Owen and Powles 2009) and with the increase of no-tillage systems, as A. sterilis is adapted to different soil tillage systems (Alarcón et al 2018). For this reason, some studies have been carried out to increase knowledge of this weed's biology and thus improve integrated weed management (IWM) for its control.…”

Winter wild oat [Avena sterilis spp. ludoviciana (Durieu) Gillet & Magne referred to as A. sterlis here] is one of the major species of the Avena genus given its high competitive ability to infest cereal crops worldwide, with special concern in Spain. A nine-location field experiment was established across Spain where a total of 400 A. sterilis seeds per location were sowed in four replicates in autumn 2016 to monitor the emergence during two growing seasons in dryland conditions. The data were used to test the predictable ability of a previous published model and to develop a new model, if required. Overall, the average percentage of emergence was 30% during the first season, and 21% during the second one. In both seasons, the main emergence flush occurred between November and February. According to the phenological stage, A. sterilis achieved the tillering earlier in southern sites, between 25 November and the end of December, compared with northern sites where this stage was reached at the end of January. The newly developed model described the emergence with precision, using three cardinal temperatures to estimate the thermal time (TT). The three cardinal points were established at -1.0, 5.8 and 18.0 C for base (Tb), optimum (To) and ceiling temperature (Tc), while the base water potential (Ψb) was established at -0.2 MPa for the hydrothermal time (HTT) estimation. This study contributes to improve the prediction for the emergence of A. sterilis, and provides knowledge for Decision Support Systems (DSS) for the control of this weed.

“…The CT treatments showed slight, but not statistically significant, increase in productivity as well as in contents of chlorophyll, proline or protein (Table 3). Baumhardt et al (2017) reported that NT may reduce evapotranspiration which affect plant leaf area and biomass that leads to greater yield potential, Alarcon et al (2018) reported that tillage system caused no effect of legume yields. Al-Kaisi et al (2016) mentioned that soybean yield were higher with CT system which they attributed to cold early spring under which conditions the NT system would cause slow seed germination and seedling emergence (Botta et al, 2010).…”

Crop rotation / tillage impact on status of plant nutrients, crop production and soil properties was studied under North Sinai conditions, Egypt. The study assessed crop rotation (rice/clover (Berseem) / wheat/ soybean/ wheat (summers 2016 to 2018) under no tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) systems and implications of crop and soil performance. CT revealed more positive implications over NT in few cases. Contents of available nutrients in soil after harvest were greater after legumes. Contents of Fe, Mn and Zn in soil after crop harvest showed increases with CT than NT Rotation cropping maintained similar levels after legume crop especially compared to cereals crop. Crop productivity was in some cases higher CT than NT although NT increased plant chlorophyll, protein and proline.
