“…The difference between CS (8683 kg ha −1 ) and MTC (8653 kg ha −1 ) was not very high (138 kg ha −1 ), but the results showed that MTD and NT had a very significantly negative influence compared to CS, the yield differences being 1789 kg ha −1 and 2640 kg ha −1 , respectively. Similar research, but over a longer period, conducted by Cociu and Alionte [51] at Fundulea, showed that the average yield for eight years in the case of maize was significantly lower when CS (8820 kg ha −1 ) was applied rather than MTC (9050 kg ha −1 ). This is similar to Khan et al [52], who reported that a higher grain yield was established in NT crops than in CS crops.…”

“…The irregular distribution of rainfall and high temperatures correlated with extended drought during the experiment period, specific to the area studied, and influenced the crop, including the quality indices [51]. Compared to the control variant, the starch content of grains (62.24% average for three years) fluctuated very significantly in two years (2020 positive, 2021 negative), and in 2019, it remained close to the control variant, at a difference of just 0.02%, which does not present statistical assurance.…”

The purpose of research on alternative variants of soil tillage systems related to fertilization, vegetal residues, and cover crops, in the case of the maize crop, is to elaborate and promote certain integrated technologies on conservation agriculture. This paper presents the results of a study conducted in the Transylvanian Plain during 2019–2021, regarding the influence of certain technological and climatic factors on the yield and quality of maize. The objective of the research was to focus on how vegetable residues and cover crops can be integrated into the optimization of the fertilization system of conservation agriculture. A multifactorial experiment was carried out based on the formula A × B × C × D − R: 4 × 2 × 3 × 3 − 2, where A represents the soil tillage system (a1 conventional tillage with moldboard plow; a2 minimum tillage with chisel; a3 minimum tillage with disk; a4 no tillage); B represents the maize hybrid (b1 Turda 332; b2 Turda 344); C represents the vegetable residues and cover crops (c1 vegetable residues 2.5 t ha−1 + 350 kg ha−1 NPK; c2 vegetable residues 2.5 t ha−1 + cover crops mustard; c3 vegetable residues 2.5 t ha−1 + gulle 10 t ha−1); D represents the year (d1 2019; d2 2020; d3 2021); and R represents the replicates. The results emphasized the fact that for the soil conditions from the area taken into account (Chernozem), for maize, a minimum tillage with chisel during autumn + disk harrow in spring + sowing can be considered as an alternative to the conventional tillage system. Yield and quality of maize can be improved and optimized by combined fertilization: vegetable residues and cover crops being supported with different sources of mineral NPK.

No tillage (NT) is often presented as a means to grow crops with positive environmental externalities, such as enhanced carbon sequestration, improved soil quality, reduced soil erosion, and increased biodiversity. However, whether NT systems are as productive as those relying on conventional tillage (CT) is a controversial issue, fraught by a high variability over time and space. Here, we expand existing datasets to include the results of the most recent field experiments, and we produce a global dataset comparing the crop yields obtained under CT and NT systems. In addition to crop yield, our dataset also reports information on crop growing season, management practices, soil characteristics and key climate parameters throughout the experimental year. The final dataset contains 4403 paired yield observations between 1980 and 2017 for eight major staple crops in 50 countries. This dataset can help to gain insight into the main drivers explaining the variability of the productivity of NT and the consequence of its adoption on crop yields.

The aim of research is to study the influence of zoohygienic parameters of the microclimate of livestock buildings on milk productivity and milk quality. The identification of the trend in changes in milk productivity in the winter-spring period depending on the microclimate and zones of location of highly productive animals was carried out in the North Kazakhstan Region on the basis of one of the dairy farms. Experimental studies were carried out according to the traditional methodology of planning experiments by forming experimental groups using laboratory, instrumental and statistical research methods. The object of the study is Simmental cows. The material of the study is milk of the animals under study. For the study, 3 groups of animals were selected and formed according to the principle of pairs-analogues of the second calving, 20 heads in each group. Group I – the animals were located in the southern zone of the complex; Group II – in the central zone and Group III – in the northern zone. A trend was revealed in milk productivity and physicochemical parameters of milk depending on climatic changes in the season and microclimate parameters. The trend in changes is associated with temperature changes in the winter, when animals spent a lot of energy on heat exchange and could not fully produce milk. Milk productivity decreased in the winter by 10 % compared to the spring. The dynamics between the periods differed significantly in fat content: animals of Group I in the spring had an average fat content of (4.10 ± 0.20) %, in the winter the indicator was (3.81 ± 0.12) % and was 7.1 % less; in the second group – (3.89 ± 0.15) and (3.75 ± 0.18) %, respectively, and the difference was 3.59 %, and in the third group – (3.29 ± 0.17) and (3.51 ± 0.09) %, and the difference between periods was 2.3 %, respectively. Decreasing and increasing temperature, increasing and decreasing humidity, increasing harmful gases, dust pollution in livestock buildings also contribute to a decrease in milk productivity of cows.
