Strip-Tillage Production Systems for Tobacco
Conservation tillage production systems for flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) have been studied for many years. Inadequate chemical weed control and lack of acceptable pesticide and fertilizer application resulted in consistently lower yields and inferior cured leaf quality. The development …

Tillage System Effects On Upland Cotton Yield and Development In Virginia
Identifying the proper tillage system which provides the best agronomic benefits for cotton production in the coastal plain soils of Virginia was the basis for this research. Strip-tillage was evaluated from 2015-2016 on-farm to determine the effects of annual and biennial treatments on plant …

Evaluating Conservation Agricultural Management for Soil Health Outcomes in Southeastern Virginia
… such as cover cropping and conservation tillage systems (e.g., strip tillage, minimal tillage, or no tillage) are implemented to improve soil properties, but soil health outcomes in Coastal Plain cropping systems have been inconsistent and may take decades or longer to occur. Improving …

Strip-till flue-cured tobacco production in Virginia
… that typically receives four to eight primary tillage passes before being transplanted on a raised row-ridge. Strip-tillage, a conservation tillage system that only requires tilling a small strip before transplanting, has been shown to be effective for tobacco producers in southside Virginia. …

Conservation tillage methods for cabbage production
… were to assess the applicability of conservation tillage systems for cabbage production. Four tillage systems (conventional tillage, CT; no-tillage, NT; and two types of strip tillage—Ro-till, RT, and chisel plow, CP) and three planting dates (early, mid and late) were compared in 1985 and 1986. …

Conservation tillage machinery for broccoli production
… and reap the other benefits of conservation tillage, a strip tillage machine named FOR2 was designed, developed and tested. FOR2 prepares the seedbed and places the seed in one pass through the field. This thesis reports the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of FOR2 based on result from …

Empirical Studies in Production Economics and International Agricultural Development Issues
… titled "Profitability Effects of Different Tillage Systems in Continuous Corn Rotations" explores the interaction between different tillage systems and nitrogen fertilization in irrigated continuous corn production in northeastern Colorado. We find that strip tillage is better suited for …

Surface and groundwater quality impacts of conservation tillage practices on burley tobacco production systems in Southwest Virginia
… and deep percolation losses from conventional tillage (CT), strip tillage (ST), and no-till (NT) treatments in a burley tobacco production system. The field experiment results show that the CT treatment yielded more total runoff, 93.6 mm, than ST and NT. Compared to the CT treatment, ST reduced …

Evaluation of Cover Crops, Conservation Tillage, and Nitrogen Management in Cotton Production in Southeastern Virginia
… 1) soil compaction and cotton yield response to strip-tillage compared to no-tillage with a precision planted tillage radish and 2) the influence of legume mix, rye, and legume mix/rye combination cover crops with four in-season nitrogen (N) rates applied to cotton on cover crop biomass, cover …

Minimizing the continuous maize penalty through intense management
… through the use of stover removal, reduced tillage, and an addition/omission design of advanced crop inputs. Nitrogen (N) fertilizer, non-N fertilizer, hybrid trait, plant density, and fungicide were five management inputs used to create an addition/omission design. Additionally, partial …

Enhanced efficiency phosphorus application for corn
… research are (1) to determine the effects of tillage/fertilizer placement [no-till (NT)/surface broadcast or strip-till (ST)/deep banding], monoammonium phosphate rate [0, half the recommended rate, and the recommended rate], and the presence and absence of two enhanced phosphorus efficiency …
