This experiment was conducted to determine the optimal timing and frequency of high\uffe2\uff80\uff90residue cultivation in reduced\uffe2\uff80\uff90tillage soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and corn (Zea mays L.) in Pennsylvania. Banded herbicides were applied at planting and high\uffe2\uff80\uff90residue cultivation frequency ranged from one to three passes. A split\uffe2\uff80\uff90plot assessed the effects of cover crop residue, either cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) in soybean or a hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)\uffe2\uff80\uff90triticale (X Triticosecale Wittm.) mixture in corn, on weed control and yields. Breakeven analyses were used to evaluate cultivation and cover crop costs. Two cultivator passes reduced weed biomass to 500 kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 or less and were needed to optimize weed control and prevent yield loss. No weed control or yield benefit was observed with three passes compared to two passes. Cover crop residues increased weed biomass and yield in dry years but suppressed weeds without influencing yields in wet years. In 1 of 3 yr, cover crop establishment costs were offset by 0.7 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 greater soybean yield with cereal rye residue than without. In 1 of 2 yr, a 0.8 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 greater corn yield with cover crop residue compared to none offset establishment costs only when legume N credit was substituted for urea fertilizer. This research confirms that banded herbicide application together with high\uffe2\uff80\uff90residue cultivation can achieve yields similar to herbicide\uffe2\uff80\uff90only programs while diversifying weed control tactics.  <p>New integrated weed management approaches are greatly needed in reduced\uffe2\uff80\uff90tillage systems to help preempt the continued evolution of herbicide\uffe2\uff80\uff90resistant weeds.</p> <p>High\uffe2\uff80\uff90residue interrow cultivation following banded herbicide application at planting is an in\uffe2\uff80\uff90season weed management program that combines mechanical and chemical weed control tactics.

This study was conducted in Boone County, Missouri, in 2012 to 2014 to determine the effects of three organic production systems and four poultry compost rates on crop yield and SOC on a claypan soil. The production systems included tillage with no cover crop, tillage with a mowed and incorporated cover crop, and no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till with a crimped cover crop in a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)\uffe2\uff80\uff93corn (Zea mays L.)\uffe2\uff80\uff93soybean (Glycine max L.) rotation. Cover crops included cereal rye (Secale cereale L) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa L.). Compost rates were 0, half the recommended rate, the recommended rate, and 1.5 times the recommended rate. Achieving cover crop biomass sufficient for weed suppression was a challenge when soil fertility declined during the study. Corn yield was reduced 30% in 2013 in no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till plots compared to tilled although plant populations were nearly equal, indicating that N immobilization may be significant in crimped cover crops. When there was adequate soil moisture and weed control from the cover crop, soybean grown under organic no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till was competitive with tilled treatments. Optimum timing of cover crop crimping for acceptable weed control was more successful in a soybean system compared with corn. Organic no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till in this study was more successful in soybean and wheat than in corn, when the cover crop biomass was sufficient to suppress weeds.</p>", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

Elemental input-output balances were calculated from water chemistry data and from water balances using chloride as a tracer. Concentrations of cations and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil solution were greater in the conifer plantations than in the prairie ecosystem. Inorganic acid concentrations were only slightly higher under pine than under prairie, suggesting that the greater cation leaching under pine vegetation was dependent on DOC contributed by throughfall and leaching from the forest floor. There was a small net gain in Mg and losses in Ca, K, and S in the prairie ecosystem. There was a net loss in all elements from the pine ecosystem, and losses were greater than from the prairie. The greater losses in Mg, K, and S from the pine ecosystem are attributed to interception of dry deposition by the tree canopy.

This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effect (4 years) of three crop diversifications in rainfed olive orchards on soil aggregation, SOC and TN concentration and SOC stocks (SOC-S) under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions. Olive orchards were diversified with Crocus sativus (D-S), Vicia sativa and Avena sativa in rotation (D-O) and Lavandula x intermedia (D-L) and compared with monocropping system (CT). Soil samples were collected at two depths (0\uffe2\uff80\uff9310 and 10\uffe2\uff80\uff9330 cm) and analysed for soil aggregate mass, SOC and TN content in aggregate-size fractions obtained by the wet-sieving method. Changes caused by crop diversifications on SOC-S were also determined. Overall, after 4 years, a reduction in aggregation values was observed. However, D-S increased the macroaggregates (&gt;250 \uffce\uffbcm) percentage, Mean Weigh Diameter values, and Geometric Mean Value in the 0\uffe2\uff80\uff9310 cm. Across treatments, aggregate-associated C in 0\uffe2\uff80\uff9310 cm was higher in the D-S treatment, while in the 10\uffe2\uff80\uff9330 cm soil layer, the greatest values were found in CT.

However, this practice has a pitfall consisting of the loss of nutrients, in particular nitrate, toward water courses. The objective of this study was to evaluate nitrate leaching for three application rates of pig slurry (50, 100, and 200 Mg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and a control treatment of mineral fertilizer (275 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921) applied to corn grown in 10 drainage lysimeters. The effects of two irrigation regimes (low vs. high irrigation efficiency) were also analyzed. In the first two irrigation events, drainage NO3\uffe2\uff80\uff93N concentrations as high as 145 and 69 mg L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 were measured in the high and moderate PS rate treatments, respectively, in the low irrigation efficiency treatments. This indicates the fast transformation of the PS ammonium into nitrate and the subsequent leaching of the transformed nitrate. Drainage NO3\uffe2\uff80\uff93N concentration and load increased linearly by 0.69 mg NO3\uffe2\uff80\uff93N L\uffe2\uff88\uff921 and 4.6 kg NO3\uffe2\uff80\uff93N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921, respectively, for each 10 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 applied over the minimum of 275 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 An increase in irrigation efficiency did not induce a significant increase of leachate concentration and the amount of nitrate leached decreased about 65%. Application of low PS doses before sowing complemented with sidedressing N application and a good irrigation management are the key factors to reduce nitrate contamination of water courses.</p>", "keywords": ["2.
