“…Different crops may be more or less dependent on the subsoil, and the dependency is affected by the climate and the weather conditions. In the Oberacker long-term field experiment, cereals (winter barley and winter wheat) and legumes (field beans and peas) produce higher yields in NT, while tuber and root crops (potatoes and sugar beet) yield more in MP (Martínez et al, 2016). The lower yield of tuber and root crops may be related to the higher topsoil compactness (higher BD) in NT than in MP.…”

“…Between the experimental plots there are permanent grass (PG) strips of 3 m width. Mean annual temperature at the site is 9.3 C and mean annual precipitation is 1109 mm (Martínez et al, 2016). The soil is classified as a Eutric Cambisol with a sandy loam texture.…”

“…The soil is classified as a Eutric Cambisol with a sandy loam texture. Further details on the Oberacker long-term field experiment can be found in Martínez et al (2016). The experiment is run with a sixyear crop rotation, and the current crop rotation is: peas (Pisum sativum L.)-winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-field beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)-winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)-sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)-silage maize (Zea mays L.), representing a typical Swiss arable crop rotation (Prasuhn, 2012).…”

The crop rotation has received some modifications throughout the years (for details, see Martínez et al, 2016). For example, potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) were included until 1999 but discarded due to unsatisfactory planting technique (using direct mulch planting) and poor tuber quality in NT.…”

“…Penetrometer measurements performed prior to sampling (Martínez et al, 2016) identified two critical soil layers with substantial differences between MP and NT, namely in the topsoil at 0.05-0.2 m depth (higher resistance in NT than in MP) and in the subsoil at 0.3-0.4 m depth (lower resistance in NT than in MP) (see Fig. 4b in Martínez et al, 2016). Therefore these two layers were selected for soil sampling in the present study.…”

BACKGROUND Given the interest in mitigating the consequences of soil deterioration and climate change impacts on durum wheat grain, the objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of two soil management systems – conservation agriculture (CA) and conventional tillage (CT) – on the grain composition and nutritional value of two durum wheat varieties (Karim and Monastir) grown over two cropping seasons (2018–2019 and 2019–2020). RESULTS The soil management system had an impact on all studied parameters, namely 1000‐kernel weight (TKW), proximate composition, energy value, total phenol content (TPC), antioxidant capacities (DPPH and ABTS) and mineral elements (K, P and Na), excluding hectoliter weight. CA resulted in high moisture content, crude protein, P, K, Na, TPC, DPPH and ABTS. However, TKW, crude fat, crude ash, energy value, and total carbohydrate were higher when using CT. CONCLUSION A 2‐year adoption of conservation agriculture after a long‐term conversion enhanced some compositional parameters and nutritional value of durum wheat varieties. The interaction with year and/or variety was very influential. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Strategic tillage (ST) has been proposed to maintain the benefits and alleviate the negative effects of long‐term no‐till (NT) management. In this study, the effects of ST on soil properties and yield loss were evaluated for a double‐cropped rice (Oryza sativa L.) paddy from 2006 to 2017 in Southern China. Three tillage systems were investigated: long‐term NT, continuous rotary tillage (RT), and ST. The results showed that ST effectively solved the problem of long‐term NT management: low and unstable bulk density in the soil surface layer. Compared with NT, ST significantly increased the available P (AP) concentration, available K (AK) concentration, the AP storage by 16.55% and the AK storage by 21.37% in the upper 20 cm soil. Moreover, the soil pH for NT and ST was lower than RT. ST increased the acidification risk in the 0–5 cm soil layer (pH was 4.84 in 2017) but significantly reduced the risk of yield loss compared to continuous NT. The average yield gap between ST and NT ranged from 408.21 kg ha−1 (during 2006–2009) to 1,144.85 kg ha−1 (during 2014–2017). ST reduced soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) concentration compared to NT in the 0–5 cm soil layer. However, it did not affect SOC and TN storage, although light fraction organic carbon (LOC) storage for ST was 36.59% lower than that for NT. ST is a promising option for promoting and maintaining the sustainability of rice production in Southern China.
