“…Several other studies conducted during the growing season also reported greater surface P accumulation under fertilized NT than under MP. Messiga et al (2012) measured greater P M3 under fertilized NT in comparison with MP soils. On the same experimental site, Abdi et al (2014) reported the stratification of P M3 and orthophosphate concentrations under NT management.…”

“…On the same experimental site, Abdi et al (2014) reported the stratification of P M3 and orthophosphate concentrations under NT management. The transformation of residual P derived from fertilizer into less labile forms might be limited under NT, because broadcast P fertilizer interacts with plant residues, blocking sorption sites, and therefore, adsorption or fixation on the solid phase (Messiga et al 2012). In addition, the limited transfer of residual P from the enriched upper layer to depleted lower layers due to the low mobility of P also contributed to the differences in soil test P between the P 0 treatment and the P-fertilized plots (Messiga et al 2012;Abdi et al 2014).…”

“…Previous studies conducted in Canada reported that fertilized NT had a greater soil mineral N and extractable P in the top 5 cm layer and to some extent down to 10 cm, and a depletion of N and P in sublayers; however, soil mineral N and extractable P uniformly distributed down to 20 cm under moldboard plow (MP) (Lupwayi et al 2006;Cade-Menun et al 2010;Messiga et al 2012). These findings indicated that soil depth at 0-5 cm under NT can be the most active layer for potential N and P losses.…”

“…Agricultural practices, including tillage, fertilization, and crop rotation, could affect the transformation and movement of soil N and P. Studies have shown that notill (NT) management has caused the stratification of soil organic carbon (Zibilske et al 2002), nitrate (Grant and Lafond 1994;Lupwayi et al 2006), and extractable P (Cade-Menun et al 2010;Messiga et al 2012;Abdi et al 2014). Previous studies conducted in Canada reported that fertilized NT had a greater soil mineral N and extractable P in the top 5 cm layer and to some extent down to 10 cm, and a depletion of N and P in sublayers; however, soil mineral N and extractable P uniformly distributed down to 20 cm under moldboard plow (MP) (Lupwayi et al 2006;Cade-Menun et al 2010;Messiga et al 2012).…”

Determining how agricultural management practices affect changes in soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) could further our understanding of soil N and P cycle. The main objective of this study was to assess in situ nongrowing season soil nitrate and phosphate dynamics as adsorbed on anionic exchange membranes (AEM-N and AEM-P, respectively). The membranes were buried in the surface horizon (5 cm below the soil surface) over the nongrowing season (mid-November to mid-April) in five consecutive years (2009-2010 to 2013-2014) in a long-term corn-soybean rotation experiment established in 1992 in eastern Canada. The treatments consisted of two tillage systems, namely moldboard plow (MP) and no-till (NT), and nine combinations of fertilizer applications, namely three N rates (0, 80, and 160 kg N ha −1 ) and three P rates (0, 17.5, and 35 kg P ha −1 ) in a split-plot design with four replications. The results showed that AEM-N and AEM-P averaged 1.8 μg cm −2 d −1 and 7.4 ng cm −2 d −1 under MP, respectively, and 2.8 μg cm −2 d −1 and 67.8 ng cm −2 d −1 under NT, respectively. Nitrogen application increased AEM-N in 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and 2012-2013, but decreased AEM-P mainly under NT. Phosphorus fertilization had no effect on AEM-N, but increased AEM-P under both MP and NT. We conclude that AEM can be used as a technique to study N and P dynamics under cold winters of eastern Canada.

“…comparison of no-till and mouldboard ploughing systems gave controversial results. in some experiments, no-tillage exhibited similar or higher maize yields than ploughing (Hussain et al, 1999;carter et al, 2002;tueche, Hauser, 2011;Xiaodong, Lijin, 2011;Wyngaard et al, 2012), in otherno-till caused a decrease in maize productivity (ojeniyi, Adekayode, 1999;Basamba et al, 2006;tolimir et al, 2006;messiga et al, 2012). such results might have resulted from the differences in machinery, weed control efficacy (culum, 2012), and increased soil compaction (tolon-Becerra et al, 2011).…”

A long-term field experiment (since 1988) was carried out at the experimental station of the Aleksandras stulginskis university (Asu, 54º52′ N, 23º49′ e) in the conditions of transitional maritime-climate. Research data from the 2010-2012 experimental period are presented. the soil of the experimental site is silty light loam Endohypogleyic-Eutric Planosol (PLe-gln-w). Average annual temperature is 6.2°c. the aim of the experiment was to establish the influence of reduced primary autumn soil tillage on maize productivity. the treatments of the experiment were: 1) conventionally (22-25 cm) ploughed by a mouldboard plough, 2) shallowly (12-15 cm) ploughed by a mouldboard plough, 3) deeply (25-30 cm) tilled by a chisel cultivator, 4) shallowly (10-12 cm) tilled by a disc harrow, 5) no-till. the experimental results showed that all primary soil tillage methods (except for chiselling) normally had insignificant effect on maize biometric parameters. Deep chiselling had consistent negative influence on the biometric parameters of maize canopy, while no no-till effect was insignificantly positive. maize crop biometric parameters partially depended on weed infestation at the beginning and the end of maize vegetation. in two out of three experimental years, maize crop density at the beginning and end of vegetation did not differ significantly in differently tilled plots. A relationship was found between the number of annual as well as total number of weeds and crop density at the beginning of vegetation (r = −0.926** and −0.948**). crop density at the beginning of vegetation had significant positive effect on most maize productivity parameters. Reduced soil tillage from shallow ploughing to no-till had total positive effect on maize productivity in 2011 only because of the lower weed infestation. Relationships were established between weed infestation and maize crop productivity parameters (correlation coefficients from −0.394 to −0.965**). Productivity parameters were influenced by biometric parameters too (correlation coefficients from 0.713** to 0.920**).

Since information islimited regarding N management and tillage options for corn (Zea mays L.) grown on claypan soil in the eastern Great Plains, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of preplant and side-dress N applications on corn grown in conventional-and no-till systems. The yield penalty for no-till grown corn was nearly 20% due partially to an 8% stand reduction, but also to lower kernel weight and kernels ear -1 than with conventional till. These yield and yield component reductions with no-till may be because of lower dry matter production and N uptake throughout the growing season. The general lack of interactions suggest that N management system effects on corn were not influenced by tillage system selection. Fertilizing with N more than doubled corn yields primarily by nearly doubling the number of kernels ear -1 , but with additional increases in kernel weight and average number of ears plant -1 . Averaged over years, split-N resulted in up to 15% greater yield, and additional side-dress N resulted in up to 28% greater yield than when 168 kg N ha -1 was applied only at preplant, with no yield reduction for delaying side-dress application from V6 to V10. The relationship of relative N uptake to relative corn yield approached a direct 1:1 relationship by R1 (silking). The decision of whether to split-apply fertilizer N or to add additional N, regardless of tillage system, will likely be influenced by economic factors, but side-dress N applications may extended to the V10 stage with no yield penalty.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License, which permits use and distribution in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited, the use is non-commercial and no modifications or adaptations are made.
