Igor Bogunovic, Paulo Pereira, Marija Galic, Aleksandra Percin, Ivica Kisic, Vilim Filipovic, Lana Filipovic, Sun Geng, Xiaoyan Tang, Qinli Xiong, Yanbao Lei, Kristina Kljak, Sebastiano Trevisani

Abstract The suitability of conservation tillage in maize–wheat interrow farming in a young plum orchard in Croatia to control runoff, soil, and element loss under natural rainfall was evaluated. Paired runoff plots (20 m 2 size) comparing conventional (ploughing and discing) and conservation (chisel and harrow) tillage were implemented in triplicate across Stagnosols (11° slope). Soil physical (bulk density, penetration resistance, mean weight diameter, water stable aggregates) and chemical properties (carbon, nit …
