• Biomass Decomposition and Phosphorus Release from Residues of Cover Crops under No-Tillage 

      Varela, María Florencia; Barraco, Miriam Raquel; Gili, Adriana Anahí; Taboada, Miguel Angel; Rubio, Gerardo (2017-01)
      Under no-tillage field conditions, cover crop (CC) residues remain on the soil surface and decompose at a slow rate. We used three CC species (oat, Avena sativa L.; rye, Secale cereale L.; and ryegrass, Lolium multiflorum ...
    • Cover crops effects on soil hydraulic properties in two contrasting Mollisols of Argentinean Pampas region 

      Villarreal, Rafael; Lozano, Luis Alberto; Polich, Nicolás Guillermo; Salazar, María Paz; Barraco, Miriam Raquel; Soracco, Carlos Germán (Wiley, 2022-02)
      Decreasing of physical quality of Mollisols in the Argentinean Pampas region is observed due to simplified crop rotations. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of cover cropping management on soil ...
    • Effect of cover crops on hysteresis and anisotropy of soil hydraulic properties 

      Polich, Nicolás Guillermo; Lozano, Luis Alberto; Villarreal, Rafael; Salazar, María Paz; Bellora, Guido Lautaro; Barraco, Miriam Raquel; Soracco, Carlos Germán (Elsevier, 2022-12)
      No till is the main management system for soil conservation world-wide. In Argentina is frequently implemented in simplified crop sequences, which has negative effects on soil physical quality (SPQ). Among the suggested ...
