• A contribution to understanding the origin of platy structure in silty soils under no tillage 

      Sasal, Maria Carolina; Léonard, Joel; Andriulo, Adrian Enrique; Boizard, Hubert (2016)
      In silty soils under no tillage (NT), platy (P) soil structure is widespread and constrains water infiltration. Our objectives were (i) to evaluate how traffic and the presence of crop residues influence P structure ...
    • Developments in the “profil cultural” method for an improved assessment of soil structure under no-till 

      Boizard, Hubert; Peigné, Joséphine; Sasal, Maria Carolina; Guimarães, Maria De Fátima; Piron, Denis; Tomis, Vincent; Vian, Jean-François; Cadoux, Stéphane; Ralisch, Ricardo; Tavares Filho, João; Heddadj, Djilali; De Battista, Juan Jose; Duparque, Annie; Franchini, Julio Cezar; Roger-Estrade, Jean (Elsevier, 2017-11)
      In France, agronomists have studied the effects of cropping systems on soil structure using a field method that is based on a visual description of the soil structure. This “profil cultural” method was designed as a field ...
    • El estado estructural como indicador de calidad de suelo bajo siembra directa 

      Sasal, Maria Carolina; Andriulo, Adrian Enrique; Boizard, Hubert; Leonard, Joel; Wilson, Marcelo German (EEA Paraná, INTA, 2017)
      La evolución del funcionamiento físico de los suelos y su relación con la dinámica del agua son aspectos clave en la sustentabilidad ambiental de los agroecosistemas. No es posible manejar sustentablemente un medio tan ...
    • Platy structure development under no-tillage in the northern humid Pampas of Argentina and its impact on runoff 

      Sasal, Maria Carolina; Boizard, Hubert; Andriulo, Adrian Enrique; Wilson, Marcelo German; Léonard, Joel (2017)
      The no-tillage system (NT) is widespread in the silty soils of the Argentine Humid Pampas. The aims of this study were i) to characterize the evolution of the structure of the A horizon in the northern Humid Pampas due to ...
