Ridge Tillage

Adaptation of conservation tillage systems for corn (Zea mays L.) production on the poorly drained soils of southwestern Ontario is limited by excess soil moisture early in the growing season. Ridge-tillage appears capable of reducing early-season soil moisture in these soils. A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of corn residue management in a ridge-tillage system in comparison with fall-mouldboard-plow and zero-tillage on early season soil moisture and temperature of a Brookston clay loam (Orthic Humic Gleysol). Ridge-tillage resulted in lower early-season soil moisture and higher temperatures within the seed zone than zero-tillage but they were comparable to those from mouldboard-plow tillage despite the fact that ridging caused a significant increase in surface residue. Chopping corn stalks in the fall contributed to lower early season moisture and higher temperature within the ridge. Key words: Till-plant, residue management, corn, soybean, Zea mays L., Glycine max L.

Different Levels

The experiment was conducted to find out the planting method and nitrogen level for enhancing the seed yield of fodder maize (Zea mays L.). The treatment comprised of three planting methods as zero tillage (ZT), conventional tillage (CT) and bed planting (BP) and four nitrogen levels (0, 100, 125 and 150 kg N/ha). Successive increase of 25kg N/ ha has significantly increased the seed and stover yield of maize with which significantly higher values of plant height, stover yield and shelling percentage was obtained.

Earthworm Activity

Effects of tillage on soil morphology and porosity were investigated in plots planted to corn (Zea mays L.) for seven consecutive years. Micromorphometric analyses indicated that Ap horizons of no-till plots had approximately half the macroporosity (pores ≥ 200 μm equivalent circular diameter) of those of conventionally tilled plots. Loss of macroporosity was characterized by a decrease in mean pore size and a tendency for pores to become elongated, less tortuous, and oriented parallel to the soil surface. Obvious zoological activity, which consisted mainly of burrowing earthworms, resulted in two to nine times more bioporosity in a no-till pedon than in a conventionally tilled pedon. Earthworm activity also contributed to the formation of 5-cm-thick B & A horizon and a more uniform distribution of organic carbon than in the conventionally tilled pedon. These differences in morphology are reflected in the classification under Soil Taxonomy but not under the Canadian System. We speculate that zoological activity may serve to counteract the reduction in macroporosity in the Ap of the no-till pedon. Key words: Bioporosity, earthworms, micromorphometric analysis, zoological activity
