International No-Till, Strip-Till and Cover Crops Research Journal - December 2025

Each month, the conservation ag group at Cornell University offers an analysis of the latest scientific papers dealing with conservation agriculture research from around the world. For this on-going web series, our editors will be selecting several research papers from the Cornell list that will be of special interest to North American no-tillers, strip-tillers and cover croppers.

In this edition:

  • Soil health and conservation
  • In-season temporal variability of soil carbon and nitrogen pools after half a century of a tillage and crop rotation gradient.
  • Soil organic matter: The heart of soil health.
  • Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture.
  • Soil health and disturbance-based classification of farming systems.
  • Chapter 11. Cover Crop Mixes for Diversity, Carbon and Conservation Agriculture.
  • Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration and Distribution, Soil Biological Characteristics, and Winter Wheat Yields Under Different Tillage Practices in Long-Term Field Experiment.

Strip-Tillers Should Focus on Emerged Weeds After Short Harvest

The dry pattern this fall may have reduced winter annual weed emergence, and we don’t appear to be headed into an overly wet pattern. It’s possible that weed populations are low and may not merit a fall application, although there are always more weeds out there than we think.

Building Cover Crop Biomass with Roots, not Shoots

Leveraging a diverse, and dynamic cover cropping program, Quebec strip-tiller Mike Verdonck will discuss his has motivation to build soil health to overcome a short growing season and stubborn soils at the 2020 National Strip-Tillage Conference.
For Canadian strip-tiller Mike Verdonck, weed pressure, erosion and a reliance on heavy herbicide and fertilizer applications are all symptoms of “sick” soil. The antidote? Reducing tillage, moving to a year-round, multi-species cover cropping system and putting a focus on rebuilding and maintaining soil health.
