Each month, the conservation ag group at Cornell University offers an analysis of the latest scientific papers dealing with conservation agriculture research from around the world. For this on-going web series, our editors will be selecting several research papers from the Cornell list that will be of special interest to North American no-tillers, strip-tillers and cover croppers.
In-season temporal variability of soil carbon and nitrogen pools after half a century of a tillage and crop rotation gradient.
Soil organic matter: The heart of soil health.
Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture.
Soil health and disturbance-based classification of farming systems.
Chapter 11. Cover Crop Mixes for Diversity, Carbon and Conservation Agriculture.
Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration and Distribution, Soil Biological Characteristics, and Winter Wheat Yields Under Different Tillage Practices in Long-Term Field Experiment.
Tom’s transition to no-till was a considerable risk in Minnesota’s colder, wetter soils, requiring equipment modifications and adjustment of planting dates. He says combining cover crops with no-till and livestock grazing was the game changer for his farm.
Editor’s Note: With over 80% of U.S. no-till soybean and corn growers using glyphosate for weed control, this worldwide news roundup deals with concerns about the herbicide’s future use, possible banning, use strategy, new restrictions, health and environmental concerns. Our twice-a-month No-Till Farmer “In the Weeds” series will keep you updated on the latest glyphosate news from around the world. — Frank Lessiter, Editor, No-Till Farmer
