Rolled Rye Mulch for Weed Suppression in Organic No-Tillage Soybeans (2010, background): “Mowed mulches show an increased rate of decomposition when compared to rolled mulches (Creamer et al. 1995; Lu et al. 2000), thus reducing the amount of time the residue persists on the soil surface.”
Improving Resilience of Northern Field Crop Systems Using Inter-Seeded Red Clover: A Review (2013, background): “However, red clover requires water for growth and soil water contents at the time of termination may be lower than if left fallow, depending on the amount and timing of precipitation [2,10].”
Effects of organic amendment and tillage on soil microorganisms and microfauna (2010, background): “, cover crops, manures, plant biomass) is an integral tool for sustainable agriculture, as evidenced by the increasing interest in optimizing this strategy (Lu et al., 2000).”
A review of economic considerations for cover crops as a conservation practice (2017, methodology): “Continual erosion of topsoil on bare lands by wind and water results in reduced long-term productivity of agricultural land (Lu et al., 2000; Uri, 2001; Goddard et al., 2008).”
Reduced tillage in temperate organic farming: implications for crop management and forage production (2010, background): “Catch crops have been found to prevent soil erosion (Lu et al., 2000; Rinnofner et al., 2008), to suppress weeds (Liebman & Davis, 2000) and to take up soil nitrate after tillage (Hansen & Djurhuus, 1997).”
