Nitrate accumulation in the soil profile: long-term effects of tillage, rotation and N rate in a Mediterranean Vertisol
(Science Direct, 2013)
Excessive application of fertiliser in agriculture can have detrimental effects, one of which is diffuse contamination with nitrates. An 18-year field study was conducted on a typical rainfed Mediterranean Vertisol to ...
Effects of tillage, crop rotation and N application rate on labile and recalcitrant soil carbon in a Mediterranean Vertisol
(Science Direct, 2017)
The quantification of labile and recalcitrant fractions of organic C could provide valuable information in the study of soil organic carbon (SOC) changes in agrosystems. Few studies have determined the effects of farming ...
Nitrogen rhizodeposition by wheat under different tillage systems in a rainfed Vertisol
(Science Direct, 2013)
Roots and the nutrients that they deposit into the soil are a natural source of N for a current crop, or a subsequent crop in the case of rotations. Despite the importance of this process, there are few field studies of ...
Chickpea water use efficiency as affected by tillage in rainfed Mediterranean conditions
(Science Direct, 2013)
Under rainfed Mediterranean conditions, chickpea production can be increased by improving the soil water content (SWC). This study was conducted on a Vertisol in southern Spain over a period of ten years (2000-2009) to ...
New phenological growth stages of garlic (Allium sativum)
(Wiley, 2016)
The advantages of using Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt and Chemische Industrie (BBCH) phenological scales are well-known in the field of agronomy. Currently, specific scales exist for the majority of crops. ...
No-till: a key tool for sequestering C and N in microaggregates on a Mediterranean Vertisol
(Science Direct, 2017)
Soil aggregate stability is crucial for agroecosystem sustainability and for mitigating the effects of greenhouse gases. Within soil aggregates, increases in the microaggregate-associated C and N contents are of paramount ...
Ammonium accumulation in soil: the long-term effects of tillage, rotation and N rate in a Mediterranean Vertisol
(Wiley, 2014)
Plant nutrition requires organic nitrogen to be mineralized before roots can absorb it. A 13-year field study was conducted on typical rain-fed Mediterranean Vertisol to determine the effects of tillage system, crop rotation ...
Crack formation in a mediterranean rainfed Vertisol: Effects of tillage and crop rotation
(Science Direct, 2016)
The frequency, size and development rate of Vertisols cracks influence the water, solute and heat dynamics and hence on the crop productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the tillage system and crop ...
Stratification ratios in a rainfed Mediterranean Vertisol in wheat under different tillage, rotation and N fertilisation rates
(Science Direct, 2012)
Semiarid Mediterranean climatic conditions and intensive tillage systems accelerate soil organic matter losses. Therefore, assessing agricultural practices that enhance storage of soil organic matter is needed. Stratification ...
Long-term effect of tillage, rotation and nitrogen fertilizer on soil quality in a Mediterranean Vertisol
(Science Direct, 2011)
Studies of the impacts of the interactions of soil agricultural practices on soil quality could assist with assessment of better management to establish sustainable crop production system. The main objective was to determine ...
