Title
Benefits and tradeoffs of reduced tillage and manure application methods in a Zea mays silage system
Kyle M. Dittmer; Heather M. Darby; Tyler R. Goeschel; et al. Journal of Environmental Quality 2020. doi:10.1002/jeq2.20125
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect No-till reduced soil CO2 emissions relative to vertical-till.
- Intervention effect No-till had no reported impact on soil N2O emissions relative to vertical-till.
- Intervention effect Manure injection increased soil N2O and CO2 emissions, most strongly in the first month after application.
- Intervention effect Manure injection increased soil ammonium and nitrate relative to broadcast application.
- Intervention effect Tillage did not affect crop yield or protein content.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that manure injection in no-till systems benefits farmers through lower soil carbon loss, mineral nitrogen retention, and maintained crop yields and quality.
