• 04:4404:44, 21 January 2012 diff hist +7 m No-till farming →Soil and water: I decided to make the dead like to plowed soil link to the article on the plough... should give people an idea of what it means.

• 15:4315:43, 19 August 2011 diff hist −30 No-till farming →Fertilizer
• 15:1015:10, 19 August 2011 diff hist +70 No-till farming →See also: Added link to the Instituto de Pesquisas Agropecuarias Meridional website since there was no wiki page for them

7 April 2011

• 04:1004:10, 7 April 2011 diff hist +19 Carbon sequestration →Agriculture

5 April 2011

• 04:3104:31, 5 April 2011 diff hist 0 No-till farming →Environmental: figured should move the two sentences on N20 with CO2 section. Not sure how we should rename title.

4 April 2011

• 06:5006:50, 4 April 2011 diff hist +47 No-till farming →Water Issues: mentioned tileing
• 06:4806:48, 4 April 2011 diff hist −407 No-till farming →Management: moved the stuff in the yield area to other sections in management.
• 06:3906:39, 4 April 2011 diff hist −28 No-till farming →Issues: I merged artifact and artifact recovery together.
• 06:3006:30, 4 April 2011 diff hist +34 No-till farming →Profit, economics, yield: Added references
• 06:2706:27, 4 April 2011 diff hist +239 No-till farming →Profit, economics, yield: Added a reference WWF likes no-till! :-)
• 06:2406:24, 4 April 2011 diff hist −49 No-till farming →Yield
• 06:1806:18, 4 April 2011 diff hist +27 m No-till farming →The cardboard method: made title say that this is a technique used by organic farmers
• 06:1006:10, 4 April 2011 diff hist +25 No-till farming →Soil biota, wildlife, etc.: reworded the bit about why it is good for wildlife. Reduced duplication, tried to make it more clear.

2 April 2011

• 13:1213:12, 2 April 2011 diff hist −53 Tillage →Alternatives to tilling: removed the stuff saying that no-till requires herbices. It doesn't, we can use crimper's/rollers/etc for those of us doing organic. (heck, anyone doing a cover crop uses a crimper eventually because it is cheaper)
• 13:0913:09, 2 April 2011 diff hist +31 m Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage: rearranged the order a bit.
• 13:0713:07, 2 April 2011 diff hist −3 m Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage
• 13:0513:05, 2 April 2011 diff hist +5 Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage: deeper penetration of roots? no, just for the first (insert the distance down tilled) before the tillage hardpan is hit. It's a negative as far as roots are concerned.
• 13:0313:03, 2 April 2011 diff hist +29 Tillage →Conservation tillage
• 13:0113:01, 2 April 2011 diff hist −2 m No-till farming →Yield: fixed a formating mistake
• 12:5412:54, 2 April 2011 diff hist +19 No-till farming minor tweaks to description, made some words plural, etc.
• 12:4812:48, 2 April 2011 diff hist +116 No-till farming →Similar terms: added rotational tillage to the similar terms list.
• 12:4512:45, 2 April 2011 diff hist +770 No-till farming →Yield: added a reference to the drained soil area of yield to make it clear that tillage has this issue as well. I replaced the dead reference with a live one as well.
• 04:1004:10, 2 April 2011 diff hist −517 No-till farming →Yield: removed the bit about the harder soil, that is a planting equipment issue, it doesn't effect yield of crops that were sucessfully planted.
• 04:0304:03, 2 April 2011 diff hist −397 No-till farming →Background: Reworded it.
• 03:4303:43, 2 April 2011 diff hist −8 No-till farming small fix in main description

26 March 2011

• 23:5023:50, 26 March 2011 diff hist +579 No-till farming →Background: Fixed the history about the pioneers of no-till. (side note, on my trip to Brazil I went to the Instituto de Pesquisas Agropecuarias Meridional and met Herbert Bartz. :-)
• 22:5022:50, 26 March 2011 diff hist +243 No-till farming →Drainage: Decided to add a warning about going gun-ho with a tile drainage system.
• 22:4622:46, 26 March 2011 diff hist +78 No-till farming →Equipment: added that being able to use a smaller tractor will reduce compaction as well.
• 22:4422:44, 26 March 2011 diff hist +17 m No-till farming →Residue
• 22:4222:42, 26 March 2011 diff hist 0 m No-till farming →Environmental: moved the nitrious oxide entry next to carbon since they are both about greenhouse gases.
• 22:4122:41, 26 March 2011 diff hist +207 No-till farming →Greenhouse gasses: Added the percentage reduction. The reduction was around 40-70%
• 22:2422:24, 26 March 2011 diff hist +87 Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage: added an explanation of what decreased water infiltration does.
• 22:2322:23, 26 March 2011 diff hist +81 Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage: added the drying of soil as a positive and a negative benefit. Added the decreased water infiltration rate as a negative.
• 22:2122:21, 26 March 2011 diff hist +4 m Conventional tillage not sure if this page is needed. Provided a link to the main tillage article.
• 15:3415:34, 26 March 2011 diff hist −3 m No-till farming →Background
• 15:3215:32, 26 March 2011 diff hist +21 N Direct planting made this page to re-direct to no-till. Direct planting is what they call no-till in South America
• 14:4814:48, 26 March 2011 diff hist +1 m No-till farming →Greenhouse gasses: forgot the second brackets
• 14:4814:48, 26 March 2011 diff hist +19 m No-till farming →Greenhouse gasses: Citation is needed. I'm fairly sure the second statement isn't quite true. (I think broadcast reduces the benefit, not eliminate) I'll try to find a reference or source.
• 14:3814:38, 26 March 2011 diff hist 0 No-till farming →Background: removed tillage a recommended way of no-tilling (who added that one? That's called rotational or strip-till)
• 14:3514:35, 26 March 2011 diff hist +31 m No-till farming →Soil and water: linked to the soil carbon wiki article
• 14:0914:09, 26 March 2011 diff hist +13 Conservation tillage Pointed it to a list of conservation tillage practices
• 14:0114:01, 26 March 2011 diff hist +22 m No-till farming added another term
• 13:5913:59, 26 March 2011 diff hist +8 m Soil carbon →Losses of soil carbon: added links to wiki articles
• 13:4713:47, 26 March 2011 diff hist +348 Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage: Removed the incorrect statement that tilling increases organic matter in the soil added it to the negative.
• 13:4413:44, 26 March 2011 diff hist +120 m Tillage →Conservation tillage: Added a brief description after no-till and rotational tillage as people tend to get the two confused. (allot of people think conservation tillage is no-till, very annoying)
• 13:3813:38, 26 March 2011 diff hist +69 Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage: added runoff and erosion (losing the nutrient rich topsoil and fertilizer is bad)
• 13:3413:34, 26 March 2011 diff hist +290 Tillage →Purposes Of Tillage: Added a reference
• 13:2013:20, 26 March 2011 diff hist +29 Tillage →Conservation tillage: Added the specific crop that is delayed by cooler soil (corn) and added Rotational Tillage to the various conservation tillage practices list.
• 13:1513:15, 26 March 2011 diff hist +17 m No-till farming →Erosion and gullies: added cover crops here as well (is there a way to merge the two Erosions and gullies to one spot?
• 13:1313:13, 26 March 2011 diff hist +17 No-till farming →Gullies: added cover crops as a tool to prevent gullies from forming.
