Reduced tillage in temperate organic farming: implications for crop management and forage production (2010, background): “This is because of several challenges, which are mainly related to increased weed infestation (Peigné et al., 2007; Teasdale et al., 2007).”
Potential Synergistic Effects of Cereal Rye Biomass and Soybean Planting Density on Weed Suppression (2011, background): “Although continuous no-till is challenging in organic cropping systems because of perennial weeds (Berner et al. 2008; Peigne et al. 2007; Teasdale et al. 2007b), interest in reducing tillage among organic farmers remains high.”
Complexity in climate-change impacts: an analytical framework for effects mediated by plant disease (2011, background): “…and intensifying production systems, whilst in alternative agricultural systems adaptation may be through the use of ecological buffering systems, including improved soil organic matter and water-holding capacity, minimizing potential drought effects (Lotter et al., 2003; Teasdale et al., 2007).”
