Abstract:
... Differently tilled faba bean cultivations, in particular, require a comprehensive study of weed diversity, abundance, and seedbank due to the lack of experimental data. Therefore, in 2016–2018, field trials were conducted at Vytautas Magnus University on the basis of a long-term tillage experiment. Conventional deep and shallow plowing, deep chiseling, shallow disking, and no-tillage systems were ...

Abstract:
... Organic crop systems rely on tillage as the primary means to control weeds, but negative impacts of tillage may prevent farmers from achieving the potential soil health benefits of organic management. Cover crops have been suggested as a solution for overcoming this tillage trade-off directly by enhancing soil health and indirectly by providing weed control, thus reducing the need for tillage. In ...

We introduced an equilibrium displacement model (EDM) by using the specification of a factor‐augmenting approach. Given the uncertainty about the EDM parameters, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to produce a distribution of possib ...
