- Alternatives to crop residues for soil amendmentPowell, J. M.; Unger, P. W. (Wallingford, U.K: CABI, 1997)In semiarid agroecosystems, crop residues can provide important benefits of soil and water conservation, nutrient cycling, and improved subsequent crop yields. However, there are frequently multiple competing uses for residues, including animal forage, fuel, and construction material. This chapter discusses the various uses of crop residues and examines alternative soil amendments when crop residues cannot be left on the soil.
