1. Nitrogen Fertilizer Source and Tillage Impacts on Surface and Subsoil C Under Rainfed CornSoil organic carbon (SOC) increases with organic fertilizer and the adoption of no-till. Soil organic C improves the ability of agricultural systems to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This study was conducted to determine the long-term effects of fertilizer type and tillage on profile SOC. The experimental site was a rainfed continuous corn (Zea mays L.) system with fertilizer treatments (150 lbs N a-1) of composted organic waste (OrgF), urea (MinF) and no fertilizer... S. Watts |
2. Cover Crop Termination Timing Effects on Soil and Cotton Nutrient AvailabilityCover crop termination timings can have large impacts on the amount of soil coverage, nutrient availability, and stored soil moisture in a system. Producers in semi-arid regions must gamble the possibility of increased soil infiltration and reduced soil water evaporation against the potential of decreased soil moisture; in the SHP, success is dependent on irrigation capacity and precipitation. Optimizing termination timings for semi-arid regions and in deficit-irrigation/dryland systems is critical... C. Cobos, G. Baath, J. Burke, S. Chatterjee, P. Delaune, K. Lewis |
3. Sustainable and Resilient Cropping Systems to Mitigate Wind Erosion for the Enhancement of Human HealthIn the Texas High Plains, regenerative cropping practices in a predominantly conventional farming area can be used to prevent further depletion of topsoil by wind erosion. This loss of topsoil can cause a decrease in agricultural productivity and form dust storms that can be detrimental to human health causing a rise in hospitalizations of chronic lung damage, cardiovascular disorders, and diseases contracted by inhalation. Using regenerative farming practices, both the number and size of dust... K. Lewis, R. Babcock, J. Burke, C. Cobos |
