Changes in chemical attributes of sandy soil under no-tillage
01/Dec/1998
No-tillage soil management does not permit incorporation of crop residues and requires surface application of fertilizers and corrective agents, thereby affecting nutrient availability and distribution. This study was carried out to evaluate the chemical changes in no-tillage system compared to conventional tillage and native grass field. Samples from a sandy/clay Red-Yellow Podzolic (Typic Hapludalf), taken at 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 and 20-40 cm depth, were used to determine zero point of salt effect (ZPSE), humic substances, permanent charge, soil pH, exchangeable […]
