To address the influence of soil tillage reduction on crop yield and soil properties, an experiment was set up in 1969 in the western part of Switzerland. A conventional tillage treatment with plough was compared to a minimum tillage treatment and a deep non inversion tillage treatment, converted to no till in 2007. Evolution of crop yield through time was investigated, as well as the soil properties in 2013. Mean soil properties and their stratification with depth were assessed. The results showed that, after 44 years, globally, all tillage treatments allowedtomaintainsimilaryieldsinthelongterm.However,duringthesametime,soilpropertieshavechanged deeply. Soil organic carbon has decreased compared to the initial situation, in all treatments except in the... |
