   http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/fieldcrops/g544.htm
   
   Extractions: Figure 1. Effect of residue cover on reduction of soil erosion. The example shows that a 20 percent residue cover will reduce erosion by 50 percent of that occurring from a cleanly tilled field. Crop residue is increasingly being used as a major tool to reduce the loss of one of Nebraska's most valuable resourcesits topsoil. Soil erosion and the subsequent sedimentation have been identified as major water quality problems in the state. Residue reduces soil erosion caused by both wind and water. However, this NebGuide deals mainly with soil erosion caused by water since it accounts for 80 percent of Nebraska's soil loss. Today, with an increasing need to evaluate and reduce production costs, residue management through conservation tillage has become an important element in farm management. Conservation tillage includes a variety of tillage and planting systems that leave at least a 20 to 30 percent residue cover on the soil surface after planting. Research conducted in Nebraska and other Midwestern states has shown that maintaining this minimum residue cover can reduce soil erosion by at least 50 percent of that which occurs from a cleanly tilled field (

    Extractions: Home Page Soil is the unifying factor in Mississippi crop production. Understanding the fundamental properties of soils proceeds to better appreciation of soil fertility and fertilization, as well as soil management and conservation. Integrating nutrient management, soil management, and conservation leads to considering soil quality or health. Simply put, soil quality is the ability of a particular soil to function as desired. Some functions include crop production, water control, or structure support. What exactly is soil? There are many, many definitions. Specific ones depend on the viewpoint of the user. Some stakeholders consider soil to the living, breathing substance near the earth's surface which fosters life on all scales. Others consider it to be the aggravating skim on the earth's surface. The study of soil is not the study of dirt. Dirt does not have life sustaining properties. Greenhouse media is not soil either. It does not have the unique three-dimensional characteristics that can only evolve as a function of place, time, and the environment.

    Extractions: Using manures and wastewaters effectively can greatly reduce crop fertilizer needs, and thus improve the economics of production. When nutrients are applied at excessive rates and are not balanced with crop requirements, plant nutrient deficiencies or toxicities can occur. Excessive phosphorus levels in soil can cause a zinc and/or iron deficiency in crops.

Semester (view timetable) Subject Description This subject will examine the major current issues in the management of soils under various land uses in Australia. The dynamic nature of the soils will be explored through study of the chemical, physical and biological processes in the soil environment, particularly those which impact directly on plant growth. The subject will develop an understanding of how soils can be managed to optimise plant growth and minimise adverse effects on the environment and present practical solutions to soil management. Content includes: reactions of nutrients and contaminants with soil surfaces;

    Extractions: Back To Abstract Home Database Masanori Saito Tohoku National Agricultural Experiment Station, Morioka, Iwate, 020-01 Japan Top of Document It is very difficult to define the term "nitrogen fertility of soil". Nitrogen fertility is often assumed to be the amount of available nitrogen in the soil, but in an intensive agricultural system, a soil rich in available nitrogen is not always a soil in which high yields of good quality can be achieved. In a soil rich in available nitrogen, crop yields may be reduced by lodging, and the quality of crops is often poor because of the high nitrate content and mineral imbalance. In addition, the utilization efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer tends to be lower (Nishimune et al . 1982). As a result, excess nitrogen which is not absorbed by crops may be leached out and may cause environmental pollution. As Fig. 1 shows, the flow of nitrogen in a soil-plant system is complex. Current intensive agricultural practices in developed countries tend to use a lot of fertilizer, so that control over nitrogen flow in a soil-plant system is now necessary if farmers are to produce crops of good quality and minimize environmental pollution due to the leaching of nitrate. Cooke (1967) has stated that soil fertility is the capacity of soil to produce the crops desired. According to this concept, soil nitrogen fertility can be defined as the ability of soil to control the flow of nitrogen in a soil-plant system for the production of the crops desired. In other words, soil nitrogen fertility can be recognized as the function of various factors affecting the flow of nitrogen in a soil-plant system.
