Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the rate of soil moisture retention, soil quality, and field specific water balance under conservation tillage (ST) versus conventional tillage (CT) systems in cotton production in Georgia. Experiments were conducted at three locations in the counties of Oconee, Bulloch and Pulaski with two fields per county, one each of conservation tillage and one of conventional tillage. Soil moisture data were analyzed to determine the rate of soil moisture loss during drying periods between rainfall events. Field-specific water balance calculations were conducted based on the rainfall, drainage, crop evapotranspiration, and runoff. The water loss rates vary by location, with combined averages of CT losing water 16% faster than ST. Overall, ST sites retained 21.5% more soil moisture and had less runoff than CT sites. Soil organic matter was 96% greater in ST than CT for Bulloch County and not statically different in the other two counties. Results from the water balance calculations were not statistically different between tillage type.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover farming techniques that will decrease soil erosion and costs! Soil erosion from U.S. croplands has long been recognized as a national problem. Conservation Tillage in U.S. Agriculture: Environmental, Economic, and Policy Issues is the first ever complete study of the costs and benefits of using conservation tillage to prevent soil erosion. Designed for professionals working in the areas of soil science, agronomy, economics, environmental studies, and agriculture, this complete study covers everything from machinery and trends in conservation tillage to its adoption to use in regions of the United States. With this in-depth manual, you will examine different types of tillage and the many benefits this practice can ensure, such as improving water quality, increasing organic matter in your soil, sequestering carbon, and providing habitat and food for wildlife. Covering the economic, environmental, and policy issues of this practice, Conservation Tillage in U.S. Agriculture features: the history of conservation tillage case studies on costs and benefits of differing conservation tillage practices with various crops tables and graphs of trends, and case studies concerning the use of different farming methods U.S. Department of Agriculture soil conservation policies how to prevent soil erosion without harming the environment factors affecting conservation tillage, adoption, and use for crops such as peanuts, potatoes, beets, tobacco, and vegetables. With the help of this book, you will measure the benefits and costs of conservation tillage based on profitability and environmental impact and explore the positive and negative environmental consequences that may involve air, land, water, and/or the health and ecological status of wildlife. Conservation Tillage in U.S. Agriculture is a timely and informative look at conservation tillage practices that will help you improve residue management and create better conditions for wildlife and the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cover crops slow erosion, improve soil, smother weeds, enhance nutrient and moisture availability, help control many pests and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. At the same time, they can reduce costs, increase profits and even create new sources of income. You¿ll reap dividends on your cover crop investments for years, since their benefits accumulate over the long term. This book will help you find which ones are right for you. Captures farmer and other research results from the past ten years. The authors verified the info. from the 2nd ed., added new results and updated farmer profiles and research data, and added 2 chap. Includes maps and charts, detailed narratives about individual cover crop species, and chap. about aspects of cover cropping.
