Farming Systems Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network in Morris, Minnesota Tillage is decreasing globally due to recognized benefits of fuel savings and improved soil health in the absence of disturbance. However, a perceived inability to control weeds effectively and economically hinders no-till adoption in organic production systems in the Upper Midwest, USA. A strip-tillage (ST) strategy was explored as an intermediate approach to reducing fuel use and soil disturbance, and still controlling weeds. An 8-year comparison was made between two tillage approaches, one primarily using ST the other using a combination of conventional plow, disk and chisel tillage [conventional tillage (CT)]. Additionally, two rotation schemes were explored within each tillage system: a 2-year rotation (2y) of corn (Zea mays L.), and soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) with a winter rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop; and a 4-year rotation (4y) of corn, soybean, spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) underseeded with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), and a second year of alfalfa. These treatments resulted in comparison of four main management systems CT-2y, CT-4y, ST-2y and ST-4y, which also were managed under fertilized and non-fertilized conditions. Yields, whole system productivity (evaluated with potential gross returns), and weed seed densities (first 4 years) were measured. Across years, yields of corn, soybean and wheat were greater by 34% or more under CT than ST but alfalfa yields were the same. Within tillage strategies, corn yields were the same in 2y and 4y rotations, but soybean yields, only under ST, were 29% lower in the fertilized 4y than 2 yr rotation. In the ST-4y system yields of corn and soybean were the same in fertilized and non-fertilized treatments. Over the entire rotation, system productivity was highest in the fertilized CT-2y system, but the same among fertilized ST-4y, and non-fertilized ST-2y, ST-4y, and CT-4y systems. Over the first 4 years, total weed seed density increased comparatively more under ST than CT, and was negatively correlated to corn yields in fertilized CT systems and soybean yields in the fertilized ST-2y system. These results indicated ST compromised productivity, in part due to insufficient weed control, but also due to reduced nutrient availability. ST and diverse rotations may yet be viable options given that overall productivity of fertilized ST-2y and CT-4y systems was within 70% of that in the fertilized CT-2y system. Closing the yield gap between ST and CT would benefit from future research focused on organic weed and nutrient management, particularly for corn.

This package contains images and videos of active hydraulic shortcuts in agricultural areas of the municipalities of Zürich and Rümlang, Switzerland. More information on hydraulic shortcuts and their relevance for pesticide transport in agricultural areas are provided in the following doctoral thesis: https://doi.org/10.3929/ethz-b-000539927 The pictures and videos in this package are intended to be used for outreach or training of farmers, etc. and can be used freely (creative commons license). The pictures and videos were taken on 13 July 2021 between 17:23h and 17:55h (UTC+2h), a few hours after a large two-day rain event. The precipitation measured at a nearby rain gage (station Affoltern, MeteoSchweiz; 47.427694, 8.517953) equalled 41.5mm on the 12th of July, and 34.7mm on the 13th of July. The images and videos were taken at six different locations. The situations that are visible on these images and videos are described in the following. For each location, latitude and longitude is indicated in brackets (WGS84 coordinate system). - **Location 1** (47.42726, 8.52567): Surface runoff on a farm track. Since the farm track is elevated in the middle, water flows at the left and right edge of the farm track. Only at one specific location surface runoff changes from the left to the right side. - **Location 2** (47.43118, 8.52572): Surface runoff flows along one edge of a farm track. - **Location 3** (47.43580, 8.52877): Surface runoff accumulates on a potato field, flows on a asphalt road, and then into an inlet of the road storm drainage system. - **Location 4** (47.44077, 8.52534): Surface runoff flows from a corn field on an asphalt road, and then into an inlet of the road storm drainage system. - **Location 5** (47.43819, 8.50848): Surface runoff accumulates on a field with bare soil, causing erosion. At the field border with the lowest elevation, surface runoff flows onto a small asphalt road and then for around 180m along this road. Finally, the surface runoff flows into an inlet of the road storm drainage system of a larger asphalt road. - **Location 6** (47.43837, 8.50621): Surface runoff formed on grassland flows into an inlet of the storm road drainage system. This occurs either directly, or via the road.

Irrigation Residue Removal Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network and Resilient Economic Agricultural Practices in Lincoln, Nebraska USDA-ARS REAP Study (Ithaca, NE) - NEMEIRR Sustainable intensification of high-yielding production systems may help meet increasing demands for food, fuel, and fiber worldwide. Specifically, corn stover is being removed by producers for livestock purposes, and stover is also targeted as a primary 2nd generation biofuel feedstock. The NEMEIRR experimental objectives are to quantify how stover removal (no removal, moderate removal, high removal) and tillage management (no-till, disk) affect crop yields, soil organic carbon, soil greenhouse gas emissions, and other soil responses (microbial community structure, function; soil health). This experiment is conducted in a fully irrigated continuous corn system in the western Corn Belt, and soil and plant measurements have been taken since study establishment in 2001. By: V.L. Jin (1 Sep 2016). (41 9 43.3 N. 96 14 41.4 W; 349 m asl). Thc soil is Tomck silt loam (a fine, smectitic. mesic Pachic Argiudoll) and Filbert silt loam (a fine, smectitie. mesie Verne Argialboll). Long-term (1981-2010) mean annual precipitation is 74 cm and tempera¬ture is 9.8°C The study has been in continuous corn since 2000. Thc experimental design is a randomized complete block with factorial treatments arranged in split plots. The whole-plot factor is tillage treatment (NT or CT) and the subplot factor is none (0%). medium (•35%). and high (40%) stover removal calcu¬lated on a mass basis. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied at 202 kg N ha-I yr I in 2001. 2002. 2004. 2007. 2008. 2009, and 2010.190 kg N hi t yr-I in 2003. and 168 kg N ha 1 yr- I in 2005 and 2006. Treatments (tillage) and subplot treatments (residue re¬moval levels) were randomly assigned in a factorial arrangement to whole-plot experimental units (9 by 45.6 m) and subplots within the whole plots (9 by 15.2 m) in six blocks. The previous crop for the entire area in 2000 was corn under rainfcd conditions. Before 2000. the study site was historically cropped with corn, soybean [Glycinc max (L.) Merr.). oat (Arena JoIliM L.), and alfalfa (Maid-ago saliva L). In the spring of 2001, residue was removed from the medium and high stover removal treatments using a flail chopper. The entire study was then disked to remove ridges formed during the previous crop year. In each successive year of the study, only the disk treatment area was tilled to a depth of 15 to 20 cm. usually in the spring before plant¬ing. Irrigation was conducted with a solid set sprinkler system in 2001, then supplemental water applications from 2002 to 2010 were made using a linear-move irrigation system. Irrigation treat¬ments were applied when deemed necessary, with annual rates averaging 12.5 ± 7.0 cm from 2001-2010 (Table I). Glyphosatc-tolerant corn hybrids adapted to eastern Nebraska have been used throughout the study. Corn was plant¬ed with a six-row planter in 76-cm rows at a rate *174.000 viable seeds ha 1, typically during the first week of May. Weed control was accomplished using glyphosate EN-(phosphonomethyl)gly¬eine] and atrazine (6.chloro-N-ethyl-AP-(1-methylethyl)-1.3.5- triazine-2.4-diamine) applications along with in-season cultiva.

Long-term tillage and cropping system experiment for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network and Nutrient Use and Outcome Network in Lincoln, Nebraska Lincoln NE Long-term Tillage Project Overview of NELITCSE: Long-term Tillage and Cropping System Experiment (Lincoln, NE) The objectives of this experiment is to evaluate the agronomic and environmental impacts of long-term tillage and crop rotation practices in a rainfed agroecosystem. This experiment was initiated in 1981 with continuous corn only under six tillage practices (chisel, tandem disk, moldboard plow, no-till, ridge-tillage, and subsoil tillage). In 1985, the experimental design was modified to include 3 crop rotation systems (continuous corn, corn-soybean, and continuous soybean) under 6 tillage practices. Each year, both the corn phase and soybean phase of the two-year rotation system are present. In 2015, all tillage practices were converted to no-till to evaluate the magnitude, direction, and rate of agronomic and soil changes to this management shift. In addition, the continuous soybean system was converted to continuous corn with a 3-species winter cover crop (hairy vetch, purple-topped radish, and cereal rye). Prepared 13 Sep 2016 (V. Jin)

NVND Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network in Sidney, Montana Management practices, such as irrigation, tillage, cropping system, and N fertilization, may influence soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We quantified the effects of irrigation, tillage, crop rotation, and N fertilization on soil CO2, N2O, and CH4 emissions from March to November, 2008 to 2011 in a Lihen sandy loam in western North Dakota. Treatments were two irrigation practices (irrigated and non-irrigated) and five cropping systems (conventional-tilled malt barley [Hordeum vulgaris L.] with N fertilizer [CTBFN], conventional-tilled malt barley with no N fertilizer [CTBON], no-tilled malt barley-pea [Pisum sativum L.] with N fertilizer [NTB-PN], no-tilled malt barley with N fertilizer [NTBFN], and no-tilled malt barley with no N fertilizer [NTBON]). The GHG fluxes varied with date of sampling while peaking immediately after precipitation, irrigation, and/or N fertilization events during increased soil temperature. Both CO2 and N2O fluxes were greater in CTBFN under the irrigated condition but CH4 uptake was greater in NTB-PN under the non-irrigated condition than in other treatments. While tillage and N fertilization increased CO2 and N2O fluxes by 8 to 30%, N fertilization and monocropping reduced CH4 uptake by 39 to 40%. The NTB-PN, regardless of irrigation, might mitigate GHG emissions by reducing CO2 and N2O emissions and increasing CH4 uptake relative to other treatments. To account for global warming potential for such a practice, information on productions associated with CO2 emissions along with N2O and CH4 fluxes are needed.

Nitrogen Source Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network in Fort Collins, Colorado Nitrogen fertilization is essential for optimizing crop yields; however, it increases N2O emissions. The study objective was to compare N2O emissions resulting from application of commercially available enhanced-effi ciency N fertilizers with emissions from conventional dry granular urea in irrigated cropping systems. These emissions were monitored from several irrigated cropping systems receiving N fertilizer rates ranging from 0-246 kg/ha from years 2007-2008 with intermediate rates of 157 kg/ha applied to the barley crop in corn-barley rotation and 56 kg/ha applied to the dry bens in the corn-dry bean rotation. Cropping systems included conventional-till continuous corn (CT-CC), no-till continuous corn (NT-CC), no-till corn–dry bean (NT-CDb), and no-till corn–barley (NT-CB). Nitrous oxide fluxes were measured during ten growing seasons using static, vented chambers and a gas chromatograph analyzer. This work shows that the use of no-till and enhanced-effi ciency N fertilizers can potentially reduce N2O emissions from irrigated systems.

The data set contains stream water concentrations of herbicides and nutrients for 153 sites in the northern Missouri/southern Iowa region from 1994 to 1995. The data are available in Microsoft Excel 2010 format. Sheet 1 (Metadata) of the file contains supporting information regarding the length of record, site locations, parameters measured, concentrations units, method detection limits, describes the meaning of zero and blank cells, defines the major land resource areas (MLRAs) of the region, and provides a link to the U. S. Geological Survey discharge data. Sheet 2 (Site names and locations) has a list of the site names by MLRA, river system, and site name. It also contains site locations, provided as Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates, drainage areas, and indicates which sites were co-located at U. S. Geological Survey gauge sites. Sheet 3 (Concentration Data) contains data for 15 herbicide and nutrient analytes along with the corresponding site name, river system, and MLRA. Atrazine concentrations in Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed (GCEW) were shown to be among the very highest of any watershed in the United States based on comparisons using the national Watershed Regressions for Pesticides (WARP) model and by direct comparison with the 112 watersheds used in the development of WARP. The herbicide data collected in GCEW are documented at plot, field, and watershed scales. This 20-yr-long (1991-2010) effort was augmented with a spatially broad effort within the Central Mississippi River Basin encompassing 12 related claypan watersheds in the Salt River Basin, two cave streams on the fringe of the Central Claypan Areas in the Bonne Femme watershed, and 95 streams in northern Missouri and southern Iowa. The research effort on herbicide transport has highlighted the importance of restrictive soil layers with smectitic mineralogy to the risk of transport vulnerability. Near-surface soil features, such as claypans and argillic horizons, result in greater herbicide transport than soils with high saturated hydraulic conductivities and low smectitic clay content.
