Tillage, seeding and fertilizer application technologies
Article Abstract:
The implementation of tillage, seeding, and fertilizer application technologies for rainfed cereal production with a winter precipitation pattern requires integration of soil and water conservation systems into the total production system. The technologies can improve residue management, stand establishment and crop fertilization in the Pacific Northwest region. This improves soil and and water conservation, but can cause uncontrolled pest growth resulting in lesser yield. These implements also affect plant diseases, insects, weeds, environmental degradation, crop yield and quality.

Effects of clover and small grain cover crops and tillage techniques on seedling emergence of some dicotyledonous weed species
Article Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to identify the effects of cover crop residues in no-till plots on the emergence of dicotyledonous weed seedling populations, such as pigweed, prickly siga and morning glory. Another objective of the study is to demonstrate the relationships of weed seedling emergence to physical and chemical environment affected by the presence of crop residues. Results of the experiment are discussed.

Effect of conservation tillage on crop yields, soil erosion, and soil properties under furrow irrigation in western Colorado
Article Abstract:
The use of conservation tillage when growing grain products is examined, focusing on its possible affect on grain yield. Topics include use of furrow-irrigated cropping to manage soil erosion, changes in plant population and crop yields, and equipment needed to successfully perform conservation tillage.
