Abstract:: ... Conservation management practices such as no-tillage and cover cropping can reduce soil erosion, enhance soil biological activity, increase water capture and storage, and sequester C. Cover crops, however, utilize stored soil water during the winter months, and the water depletion is thought to have negative impacts on the subsequent cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crop in semi-arid ecoregions wher ...

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 ...

Abstract:: ... Groundwater recharge is critical in semiarid regions where aquifers are currently being mined for intensive irrigation. Land use management related to agriculture can be used to control partitioning of water near the land surface and to potentially manage water resources. The purpose of this study was to quantify impacts of deep plowing in rainfed (nonirrigated) agriculture in a semiarid region on ...

Abstract:: ... The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service has proposed the Soil Conditioning Index (SCI) to predict the consequences of management actions on the state of soil organic carbon (SOC), a soil quality indicator. The index was developed based on research in humid, temperate, loamy soils but has not been tested for many other conditions. In this project, we determined the effects of management on ...

Abstract:: ... In water deficit areas, like the Texas Northern High Plains, cultural practices are needed to reduce runoff and capture rain water. Studies were conducted at Bushland, Texas, on Pullman clay loam (fine, mixed, thermic Torrertic Paleustoll) to improve water storage, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) water use efficiency, and grain yield. Treatments were conventional tillage plus furrow diking ( ...
