This Soil Health Digital Cafe featured Dr. Humberto Blanco, Professor of Soil Management and Applied Soil Physics at the University of Nebraska, who discussed the findings from field research on strategic tillage in long-term no-till systems.
No-till is an unparalleled farming system for conserving soil and water while reducing production costs. Still, challenges such as herbicide-resistant weeds, soil compaction, and stratification of soil carbon and phosphorus can arise over time. Could strategic tillage help mitigate these issues?
This presentation explored the implications of this approach for weed management, soil carbon, crop yields, and overall soil health, providing research-based insights into the role of occasional tillage in long-term no-till management. This webinar was originally broadcast on June 19, 2025.
