New Study: Long-Term Conservation Tillage Improves Soil Quality, but Not Crop Yield A new study published in @SciReports investigated how long-term conventional tillage, reduced tillage and no-tillage under maize and soya affect the physical, chemical and biological quality of clay-loam soil in the Eastern Slovak Lowland. Key findings: 🌱 Reduced tillage improved the mean Soil Quality Index by 25% compared with conventional tillage and was the only system classified as having “good” soil quality. 🌱 Conservation tillage generally increased soil organic carbon, phosphorus, potassium and β-glucosidase activity. 🌱 Reduced tillage lowered soil bulk density and improved porosity, while no-tillage increased soil acidity. 🌱 Despite these improvements in soil quality, conservation tillage produced 5–25% lower crop yields, showing that improvements in soil health do not necessarily translate immediately into higher productivity on heavier soils. An ADC BioScientific portable Soil Respiration System with a soil chamber was used to determine Net CO₂ exchange rate. adc.co.uk/products/srs1000t-… Read the study: doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-6… Investigators: József Tibor Aranyos, Božena Šoltysová, László Zsombik and Ladislav Kováč from @DEgyetem and Slovakia’s National Agricultural and Food Centre (NPPC). #SoilScience #SoilHealth #ConservationAgriculture #SustainableAgriculture #CarbonCycling #GHG #SoilRespiration #CO2 #IRGA #ADC

The first comprehensive study giving insights into the microbial diversity and distribution within the depths of Tangel humus. This, combined with nutrient analysis, explains reduced carbon turnover and Tangel humus formation. ami-journals.onlinelibrary.w… Great research by and co-authors Nadine Praeg, Harald Zink, Clemens Geitner and Paul Illmer at @uniinnsbruck and Alois Simon at the Department of Forest Planning, Innsbruck. Microbial activity experiments were conducted using the ADC Bioscientific Ltd EGA61 multi-sample soil reparation analyser.
