  2. Soil conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_conservation

    Soil-conservation farming involves no-till farming, "green manures" and other soil-enhancing practices which make it hard for the soils to be equalized. Such farming methods attempt to mimic the biology of barren lands. They can revive damaged soil, minimize erosion, encourage plant growth, eliminate the use of nitrogen fertilizer or fungicide ...

  3. No-till farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-till_farming

    No-till farming is a soil conservation practice used in the United States, with adoption increasing due to its potential to reduce costs and improve soil health. By minimizing soil disturbance, no-till farming reduces the number of passes required with machinery, leading to lower fuel and labor expenses.

  4. Soil management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_management

    Tilling the soil, or tillage, is the breaking of soil, such as with a plough or harrow, to prepare the soil for new seeds. Tillage systems vary in intensity and disturbance. Conventional tillage is the most intense tillage system and disturbs the deepest level of soils. At least 30% of plant residue remains on the soil surface in conservation ...

  5. Crop rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_rotation

    The formation of soil aggregates is important for erosion control, as they are better able to resist raindrop impact, and water erosion. Soil aggregates also reduce wind erosion, because they are larger particles, and are more resistant to abrasion through tillage practices. [34] The effect of crop rotation on erosion control varies by climate.

  6. Tillage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillage

    Adequate soil aeration for gaseous exchange in the seed and root zone. 2.seed-soil contact to permit water flow to seed and seedling roots. 3. A noncrusted soil to permit seedling emergence. 4.A low density soil that permits root elongation and proliferation. 5. An environment that provides adequate light to the seedling (weed free environment). 6.

  7. Minimum tillage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_tillage

    Minimum tillage is a soil conservation system like strip-till with the goal of minimum soil manipulation necessary for a successful crop production.It is a tillage method that does not turn the soil over, in contrast to intensive tillage, which changes the soil structure using ploughs.

  8. USDA soil taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USDA_soil_taxonomy

    The soil moisture regime, often reflective of climatic factors, is a major determinant of the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems, including agricultural systems. The soil moisture regimes are defined based on the levels of the groundwater table and the amounts of soil water available to plants during a given year in a particular region.

  9. Universal Soil Loss Equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Soil_Loss_Equation

    The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is a widely used mathematical model that describes soil erosion processes. [1]Erosion models play critical roles in soil and water resource conservation and nonpoint source pollution assessments, including: sediment load assessment and inventory, conservation planning and design for sediment control, and for the advancement of scientific understanding.
