Occasional tillage has no effect on soil microbial biomass, activity and composition in Vertisols under long-term no-till

2016-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Heavy rains in recent years have triggered an increase in herbicide-resistant weeds and crop diseases in long-term no-till (NT) farming systems in Queensland, Australia. As a possible solution, occasional or strategic tillage (ST) has been applied during summer fallow in two farms located near Jimbour and Biloela, Queensland, Australia. We investigated the impact of different frequencies (one to three passes) and...
