On-farm assessment of organic matter and tillage management on vegetable yield, soil, weeds, pests, and economics in California

2004-08-01

Abstract excerpt

In intensive vegetable production, low organic matter (OM) inputs and leaching of nitrate (NO3--N) decrease soil quality with time. Four management regimes were compared for their effects on soils and on production issues in a cooperative research project with a commercial vegetable grower in the Salinas Valley, California, USA, on an 8.3 ha field: minimum tillage with OM (+OM) inputs; minimum tillage with no OM (...
