Abstract
Tillage systems and crop rotation have a significant long-term effect on soil carbon, soil productivity and the physical, chemical, and biological indicators of soil quality and health. Additionally, soil tillage and crop rotation control weeds and soilborne diseases. There is need for a well-defined, long-term tillage and crop rotation study across the different soils types and climate conditions in the state. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of different tillage systems and crop rotations on soil productivity and quality.
