“…The authors also note that it is necessary to identify and provide farmers with special technologies for resource-saving agriculture for specific plots. Better agricultural land must be protected from encroachment by the city, and cooperation between scientists, farmers and politicians is needed to manage the soil to ensure food security (Nawaz et al 2020).…”

The purpose of the research is to consider the peculiarities of different ways of managing natural resources, especially land (land plots), in the context of the sustainable development of territories within the special economic zones of Russia. The authors distinguish the management of natural resources depending on their form of ownership, giving special preference to the private form of ownership, as a direct way of managing natural resources in agricultural cooperation. The international experience of natural resources management has shown the dependence of urbanization and the quality of the state of ecology in specially designated territories and made it possible to identify areas for improving the management of natural resources in Russia. The digital transformation of natural resource management has been identified as a priority in the context of pandemic, but it does not exclude physical participation (control) in resource use. The need to implement a differentiated foreign policy on the management of natural resources in the border territories was identified, since the specificity of the mentality of the peoples integrating in these territories is based on exclusively consumer interest in access to the natural resources of such regions, the desire to use the transit potential of Russia, but not the desire to develop and preserve the border territorial space. In principle, research on natural resource management is carried out from the point of view of public administration, not taking into account the management of land, as the largest resource, by private owners, which has a decisive influence on the sustainable development of the territory. The results take into account the optimal management of natural resources using modern digital technologies and are aimed at the conservation and rational use of resources, especially in border areas located in special economic zones, which is especially important for maintaining the geopolitical integrity of the territory.

“…The herbicides kill sesbania plants, which shed topical biomass into the soil and serve as a mulch and source of SOM, suppress weed emergence, and improves soil health (Nawaz et al, 2017;Orwa et al, 2009). Several studies have evaluated the effect of sesbania manuring on the soil health and weeds density in RWCS and several other crops (Maitra & Zaman, 2017;Nawaz et al, 2017Nawaz et al, , 2021. Similarly, the allelopathic potential of sorghum has also been reported to suppress weeds in cereals especially wheat and rice (Cheema & Khaliq, 2000;Farooq et al, 2017;Hussain et al, 2020).…”

This 5-yr study (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017) aimed to evaluate the effects of sesbania (Sesbania rostrata Bremek. & Oberm) brown manure (SBM) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in rice (Oryza sativa L.)-based rotations on weeds, soil properties, and rice yield. Four rice production systems were used: (a) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-rice (control), (b) wheat-rice + SBM, (c) wheat-sorghum-rice, and (d) wheat-sorghumrice + SBM. Compared with control, allelochemicals accumulated in the rhizospheric soil of all other cropping systems over time and were the highest in the sorghumbased rotations. Allelochemical accumulation in the soil reduced the densities and aboveground biomass of sedges and grassy and broad-leaved weeds. Weed suppression was more evident when SBM in rice was included in the postsorghum field vs. the control. The use of SBM also enhanced soil organic matter (SOM), soil microbial biomass nitrogen (SMBN), and soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), and reduced the soil bulk density compared with the control. There was an improvement in SOM by 6.82, 0.57, and 9.09%, SMBC by 3.92, 0.86, and 6.29%, and SMBN by 3.12, 0.97, and 4.43% with wheat-rice + SBM, wheat-sorghum-rice, and wheat-sorghum-rice + SBM rotation, respectively, compared with the control. The highest paddy yield was recorded in the wheat-sorghum-rice-SBM, which was attributed to improved weed suppression in this system vs. wheat-rice rotation. The improved paddy yield in SBM-based rotations was a direct outcome of better soil health and the built up of allelochemicals in the soil profile, which suppressed weeds and improved rice yield.

“…It could significantly affect the soil characteristics, such as soil water conservation capacity, soil temperature and infiltration through mechanical agitation of the soil (Borrelli et al, 2020). This mechanical manipulation could increase the porosity of the soil and facilitate soil gaseous exchange, eradicate the weed and reduce the detrimental effect of agrochemical production (Nawaz et al, 2021). It could be divided into two categories: primary and secondary tillage (Lobb, 2008).…”

Soil provides crucial nutrients and water for the growth of canola, which is one of the most essential economic crops for prairie province in Canada. Therefore, effective and efficient methods are required to modify soil properties to improve crop development. This study systematically analyzed the combined effects of tillage operation and crop residue management on soil features. Thus, the relationship between soil properties and crop yield was also evaluated. More specifically, Aftermarket chopper treatment could cause rela tively higher soil moisture and temperature, while the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) treatment could also result in dramatically higher soil organic matter (SOM) loss than Aftermarket treatment. The significantly more soil water and slightly higher soil temperature created by Aftermarket treatment was beneficial for crop yield. Although OEM treatment could cause more SOM loss, the final crop yield through this method was still lower than that using Aftermarket treatment, implying that the influence of SOM loss on crop growth remained contestable. Meanwhile, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra showed the peaks of amides and carboxylic acids was declined during the growth of canola, which indicated that these organic contents played an essential role in the crop development. Finally, the Aftermarket * Harrow treatment was more suitable for canola cultivation, with largest amount of crop harvest and short loss of soil organic contents in the meantime.
