Implications of no-till (NT) management on soil C dynamics, soil fertility, and crop yields
have been discussed, but an up-to-date synthesis of NT impact on soil physical properties …

Lowland areas consist mostly of hydromorphic, poorly-drained soils, constituting an
important agricultural frontier in Brazil and around the world. Flood-irrigated rice cultivation …

No-tillage (NT) has been one of the main advances related to soil management in Brazilian
agriculture in the last 30 years. However, its full adoption in lowland areas that are …

Rice monocropping underutilizes the productive potential of lowland soils. A major
challenge in cropping low-drainage soils, particularly in wetter-than-normal years, is …

Soil tillage/management systems with minimum tillage and mulch are predominant in
agriculture of southern of Brazil, but little is known for tobacco crop under conservation …

Lowlands have been cultivated with irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) in a monoculture cropping
system for more than a century in southern Brazil. Shallow topsoil with high bulk density and …

Dynamic penetrometers are largely used for studies of soil compaction caused by
agricultural practices. In this paper, some critical factors affecting precision, operation time …

Technological innovations in the agricultural sector result in rapid progress, causing
conventional farming systems to be no longer used. Agricultural technology innovations help …

The surface-irrigated rice crop in the continuous flooding system is characterized by
increased water volume and low irrigation water productivity. In this sense, the present …

The different agricultural production systems used cause impacts on physical attributes and
on the availability of soil nutrients. In the south of Brazil, alternatives have been investigated …
