SR23205Physical properties and organic carbon in no-tilled agricultural systems in silty Pampas soils of Argentina
In the Argentine Pampas, continuous no-till farming has led to deterioration in soil structure, affecting crop yields. We investigated production situations with different cropping intensification to improve soil health. While increased cropping intensity resulted in higher carbon inputs, improvements in soil physical properties were absent. It is important to design management strategies that not only allow for increased yields but also improve the physical quality of the soil.
