- W2008262007 abstract "This paper reviews current knowledge on the range and extent of various tillage systems used in North America with special reference to the effects on soil properties, the erosion hazard and water quality. The increasing adoption of conservation-tillage systems since their introduction in the early 1960s follows an enhanced awareness of the increasing risks of soil erosion and non-point source pollution and the high cost of fuel with conventional tillage. Most “conventional tillage” systems encompass complete inversion tillage along with several secondary and tertiary tillage methods. In contrast, conservation-tillage systems involve streamlining various farm operations, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of the soil manipulative operations. Reduction in tillage intensity has been accompanied by the development of rotations and cropping systems, methods of surface and internal drainage, fertilizer technology and pest management alternatives. The status of antecedent soil physical properties is an important factor affecting the choice of tillage systems. Important soil physical properties governing the choice of tillage systems include soil wetness and anaerobiosis, soil temperature and soil structure including its susceptibility to compaction, crusting or erosion. Tillage systems affect soil physical, chemical and biological properties. Among drastic tillage-induced changes in soil properties are bulk density, infiltration rate, aggregation and aggregate size distribution, soil organic carbon and nutrient profile, microbial activity and species diversity, and the population of earthworms. Macropores and biochannels are usually more prevalent in conservation-tillage than conventional-tillage systems. Conservation tillage induces stratification of soil organic matter and related nutrients, enhances the activity of soil fauna and leads to acidification. The magnitude of these changes depends on the soil type, the cropping systems and the type of conservation tillage adopted. Soil organic carbon and nutrient stratification are generally more pronounced in coarse-textures than in clayey soils. Conservation tillage is also associated with greater biomass pool size. The latter affects the nutrient response curves of the soil. Nitrification and denitrification are other important processes affected by tillage systems. The widespread adaption of conservation-tillage systems, although beneficial in controlling off-site sedimentation, has raised concerns about the potential for increased leaching of nutrients and pesticides to groundwater. Important pollutants associated with conservation tillage are nitrate and pesticides. Some studies have shown little effect of tillage on losses of pesticides. Conservation tillage may suppress crop yields, especially on heavy textured soil with poor internal drainage and in those prone to soil compaction caused by vehicular traffic." @default.
