Abstract:
... Core Ideas Soil nitrate was lower due to a cereal rye cover crop during the active growing season. Infiltration was greater for no‐till with rye cover crop than conventional tillage. After 17 years, no‐till with rye had greater soil organic C than conventional tillage in surface layers. Soil organic C did not differ between no‐till with rye and conventional tillage for subsurface layers. No‐till w ...
