Potential Economic, Environmental Benefits Of Narrow Strip Intercropping, Richard M. Cruse, Douglas Karlen, Kenneth J. Moore

Douglas L Karlen

Since its establishment in 1989, the Cropping Systems interdisciplinary research issue team has worked to develop a cropping system that is more environmentally sustainable than cur­ rent cropping approaches but just as favorable economically. The team's work to date has focused on the strip intercropping concept.

Tillage Effects On Dryland Soil Physical Properties In Northeastern Montana, J. D. Jabro, Upendra M. Sainju, Andrew W. Lenssen, R. G. Evans

Andrew W. Lenssen

We evaluated the effect of no tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) on soil penetration resistance (PR), bulk density (BD), gravimetric moisture content (MC), and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) during the fallow phase of a spring wheat–fallow rotation. The study was conducted on two soils mapped as Williams loam at the Froid and Sidney sites. Soil measurements were made on 19 May, 23 June, and 4 August 2005 at the Froid site and on 6 June and 8 July 2005 at the Sidney site. Tillage had no effect on either soil properties except on the PR at Sidney. However, soil …
