Effect of tillage and crop residue on soil temperature following planting for a Black soil in Northeast China

Abstract Crop residue return is imperative to maintain soil health and productivity but some farmers resist adopting conservation tillage systems with residue return fearing reduced soil temperature following planting and crop yield. Soil temperatures were measured at 10 cm depth for one month follo...
