Managing Cover Crops Profitably (3rd Ed. )


Book Description

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.

Tillage Systems in the Tropics


Book Description

The objectives of this Bulletin are to collate up-to-date information on soil tillage requirements for soils in the tropics; to assess the impacts of different ways of tillage on soil, environment and crop productivity; and to outline criteria for developing environment-friendly and economically viable tillage techniques for sustainable use of soil and water resources




Proceedings of the Minisymposium on Legume Cover Crops for Conservation Tillage Production Systems, Atlanta, Georgia, October 28-29, 1981


Book Description

Verslag van een symposium over de toepassing van vlinderbloemige gewassen (wikke-soorten, klaversoorten, alfalfa, lupine) als dekvrucht in een teelt zonder grondbewerking, waarbij tevens aanbevelingen voor onderzoek worden gedaan. Met dit teeltsysteem wordt de struktuur en de watervoorziening behouden, waarbij een besparing mogelijk is op de stikstofgift uit kunstmest
