Effects of non-inversion tillage on ecosystem services on a sandy soil: Results of the period 2011-2021 of the long-term experiment Soil quality on sandy soil in Vredepeel, the Netherlands

Research output: Book/ReportReportProfessional

Abstract

Soil quality and thus sustainable soil management has become increasingly important in modern agricultural systems. Since 2011 the experiment Soil quality on sandy soil (Bodemkwaliteit op Zand) combines noninversion tillage with conventional ploughing to research the effects on ecosystem services. The effect of non-inversion tillage on the crop yields and quality and soil quality are small. Weed densities increase under non-inversion tillage, while nitrogen losses decrease. Overall, non-inversion tillage is well applicable in an arable system on a sandy soil, when weeds can be controlled.
