Soil Management in No-Till Farming Systems
Learn about soil properties and processes in no-till farming systems in this 4-week course from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
Learn about soil properties and processes in no-till farming systems in this 4-week course from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
This comprehensive course analyzes the evidence and processes associated with no-till farming systems for improving or maintaining soil properties. You'll explore water movement in soil, including infiltration, runoff, evaporation, transpiration, storage, and drainage. The course examines soil properties that affect these movements, such as surface condition, infiltration capacity, total soil porosity, size distribution, and mechanical resistance. You'll study various soil properties including bulk density, field capacity, permanent wilting point, hydraulic conductivity, and chemical variables. The curriculum covers surface roughness of soils measured by laser rugosimeter and how no-till systems improve soil surface conditions. You'll learn how grain crops contribute carbon materials resistant to degradation, maintaining soil conditions for several years and improving erosion resistance. The course also addresses mechanical resistance affecting water permeability and root penetration, water storage capacity related to total soil porosity, loss of porosity and its relationship with soil compaction, and organic matter as an ally against soil compaction. By the end of the course, you'll understand the recommended limits for remedying surface and subsurface compaction and the soil as a three-phase system: solid, liquid, and gaseous.

This course provides a comprehensive analysis of soil properties and processes in no-till farming systems. Participants will learn about water movement in soils, including infiltration, runoff, evaporation, transpiration, storage, and drainage. The curriculum examines how soil surface conditions, infiltration capacity, total soil porosity, size distribution, and mechanical resistance affect these movements. Students will study important soil properties such as bulk density, field capacity, permanent wilting point, hydraulic conductivity, and various chemical variables. The course explores how grain crops contribute carbon materials resistant to degradation, maintaining soil conditions and improving erosion resistance. Particular attention is given to water storage capacity, its relationship to total soil porosity, and how the loss of porosity relates to soil compaction and root penetration limitations. The role of organic matter in mitigating soil compaction is emphasized, along with recommended limits for addressing surface and subsurface compaction issues. The course also covers herbicide elimination processes in soil systems and approaches soil as a three-phase system: solid, liquid, and gaseous.
