From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 53, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThe 1997 Conference on Cover Crops, Soil Quality, and Ecosystems involved scientific discussions and an evaluation of farms that have been using cover crops. Results revealed that cover crops lead to improved soil...

From:Agricultural Research (Vol. 47, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThis article describes how farming in the Mississippi Delta region is intricately bound to nature and wildlife, and why farmers are keen to protect the environment. Floyd Anderson, Jr., has a special present for his...

From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 53, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedSeveral authors have emphasized the importance of increased species diversity in a cropping system because of its influence on soil microbial activity which in turn affects nutrient cycling and crop uptake (Baldock and...

From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 53, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCorn production is an important source of income for farmers in west Tennessee (Tennessee Department of Agriculture 1997). The corn plant uses commercial nitrogen intensively with high application rates relative to other...
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 49, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedNitrogen-response functions were constructed based on data from agronomic field trials in Maryland. The functions were used to estimate profit-maximizing nitrogen application rates and maximum profit under various...

From:Soil Research (Vol. 58, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedUse of soil cover crops of different families in crop rotation or succession under no-tillage system (NTS) for onion production results in higher soil quality compared to land use systems with less plant diversity. The...

From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 60, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAccelerated eutrophication, the biological enrichment of surface waters due to anthropogenic inputs of nutrients, is widespread in the United States (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1996). Due to the role of...

From:Soil Research (Vol. 60, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedContext. Labile soil C and N fractions are strongly influenced by agricultural management practices. Aims. This study was conducted on three long-term ([greater than or equal to] 30 years) on-farm sites (sites 1-3), and...

From:Agricultural Research (Vol. 44, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedForage production in alfalfa fields can be increased at minimal costs by interseeding sweet sorghum or a sorghum/sudangrass hybrid. Moreover, the technique helps conserve soil, even without commercial nitrogen...
-
From:International Journal of AgronomyPeer-ReviewedCotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) producers in Alabama are faced with a rapidly expanding problem that decreases yields and increases production costs: herbicide-resistant weeds. Producers increasingly rely on integrated...
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 53, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedManagement of crop residues and soil organic matter is of primary importance in maintaining soil fertility and productivity and for minimizing agricultural impact on environmental change. The possibility of global...

From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 53, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe use of conventional tillage in southern Brazil on farms with moderately sloping landscapes results in severe water erosion. When this system is used without any conservation practice, up to 20 Mg of soil can be lost...
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 48, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA study was conducted on the effectiveness of a winter cover crop to check residual mineral nitrogen that might otherwise be lost to groundwater. The study was conducted due to concern for the effects of nitrate leaching...
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 62, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe benefits of using cover crops are well established in the scientific literature, but adoption among end-users in agronomic farming systems is unknown. Cover crops are generally defined as plants that cover the soil...
-
From:Crop Science (Vol. 42, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA requirement for developing cover crop systems is to find cover crop species and cultivars that are both suitable and adapted in such systems, including sufficient frost resistance, for the local climate. The objective...
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 53, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCorn is an important production alternative for farmers in west Tennessee (Tennessee Department of Agriculture 1997), but the soils on which it is grown are highly erodible (Bradley and Tyler 1996). Because of erosion...
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 50, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedA study of the effect of the Conservation Reserve Program on the nesting of nongame birds in the Texas Southern High Plains indicates that the former has had a positive effect on the latter, especially in earlier years....
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 53, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedConserving natural resources, especially soil and water, are national goals in Austria. Soil and water quality are inherently linked, there, re enhancing or improving soil quality is a fundamental step towards enhancing...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe diversity-productivity, diversity-invasibility, and diversity-stability hypotheses propose that increasing species diversity should lead, respectively, to increased average biomass productivity, invasion resistance,...
-
From:International Journal of AgronomyPeer-ReviewedWinter rye (Secale cereale L.) is used as a cover crop because of the weed suppression potential of its mulch. To gain insight into the more effective use of rye as a cover crop we assessed changes in benzoxazinone (BX)...
