New Study: Long-Term Conservation Tillage Improves Soil Quality, but Not Crop Yield

A new study published in @SciReports investigated how long-term conventional tillage, reduced tillage and no-tillage under maize and soya affect the physical, chemical and biological quality of clay-loam soil in the Eastern Slovak Lowland.

Key findings:

🌱 Reduced tillage improved the mean Soil Quality Index by 25% compared with conventional tillage and was the only system classified as having “good” soil quality.

🌱 Conservation tillage generally increased soil organic carbon, phosphorus, potassium and β-glucosidase activity.

🌱 Reduced tillage lowered soil bulk density and improved porosity, while no-tillage increased soil acidity.

🌱 Despite these improvements in soil quality, conservation tillage produced 5–25% lower crop yields, showing that improvements in soil health do not necessarily translate immediately into higher productivity on heavier soils.

An ADC BioScientific portable Soil Respiration System with a soil chamber was used to determine Net CO₂ exchange rate. https://t.co/0hFF7MoP9W

@JonikasLab @LongLab We're sad to hear of the passing of Professor Stephen Long. His pioneering work on photosynthesis and crop modelling has had an extraordinary impact on plant science and agriculture worldwide.

Role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in drought-resilient soybeans: Under extreme drought stress, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) increased net photosynthetic rate, evapotranspiration, and stomatal conductance by 40.87%, 29.89%, and 33.65%, respectively, compared to non-AMF plants in well-watered conditions. Water use efficiency (WUE) rose significantly under drought stress or after AMF inoculation. A study by Elham R. S. Soliman (Helwan University) and Reda E. Abdelhameed and Rabab A. Metwally (Zagazig University) measured gas exchange using the climate-controlled LCpro-SD by ADC BioScientific. #CO2 #photosynthesis #IRGA @HelwanUniv @ZagazigUniv

We need plants that are more resilient to moisture variability. The 'native is best' philosophy is being challenged. Exotic species might be more successful where native species are struggling.
