Conservation and conventional tillage systems require different approaches to fertilizer management due to interactions with surface residue and degree of fertilizer incorporation. Conventional tillage uses plowing and disking that provides a residue free soil surface, prior to planting. Conservation tillage maintains previous crop residues on the soil surface by utilizing no-till planting systems, possibly including some form of non-inversion deep tillage, prior to planting. As a result of different tillage methods used in production agriculture, nutrient distribution within the soil profile differs among tillage systems. Conventional tillage systems enable nutrients, ...
