Effect of Rye Residue on Soil Properties and Nitrogen Fertilization of Cotton 

Ducamp, Fernando (2008-08-15)
Conservation tillage systems that use rye (Secale cereale L.) as a cover crop have many benefits on soils properties and crop productivity. However, rye biomass could be harvested for alternative uses, which could jeopardize ...

Evaluation of Selected Cellulosic Energy Crops for the Southeastern United States 

Huang, Ping (2012-12-05)
Encouraging progress towards commercial production of cellulosic biofuels has recently raised the importance of identifying economically feasible and environmentally sustainable cellulosic biomass supply chains. In this ...

Management and Landscape Variability Effects on Selected Coastal Plain Soil Physical Properties 

Biscaro, Andre (2008-05-15)
Crop production has become more costly over the years. Improved tillage practice recommendations and implementation of site-specific crop management (SSM) can help farmers achieve soil conservation, better yields, input ...

Management-Dependent Soil Variability and Surface Hydraulic Properties of Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain Plinthic Kandiudults 

Cochran, Joe Frank (2010-11-15)
Soil surveys are the foundation for natural resource planning and management and have been developed to illustrate and characterize the spatial variability of our soil resource; however, decade-scale temporal variability ...

Reduction of Soil Compaction in a Cotton and Peanut Rotation Using Conservation Systems 

Simoes, Rui Pedro (2008-08-15)
Southern Coastal plain soils have a long history of intensive continuous monoculture cropping, and are highly weathered due to geoclimatic conditions. These soils pose a challenge to the adoption of conservation agriculture ...
