Research on strategic tillage in dryland no-till systems
No-tillage (NT) systems provide several benefits to dryland crop production in the semiarid central Great Plains (CGP). These include improvements to soil health, reduced wind and water erosion, fewer energy inputs, increased retention of soil moisture, and improved crop yields. Despite these benefits, maintaining continuous NT and the associated soil conservation benefits are at risk due to a lack of effective control of herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds, as well as issues of compaction and stratification (abrupt changes by soil depth) of soil pH and nutrients. Stratification of soil nutrients and soil acidity could reduce nutrient availability and uptake by crops and increase the chances of nitrogen and phosphorus losses in surface runoff.
