Impact of gypsum applications and cover crop on soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) elemental composition Open
Soybean ( Glycine max ) is the most important protein crop being produced globally. Sulfur is essential for enhancing its nutritional quality, particularly by increasing S‐containing amino acids. Gypsum, which provides calcium and sulfur, …

Cover crops, crop rotation, and gypsum, as conservation practices, impact Mehlich-3 extractable plant nutrients and trace metals Open
Conservation practices are encouraged to improve soil health and sustain agronomic crop production. Mehlich-3 is often used as a multi-nutrient extractant to determine soil fertility status. A study investigated the impacts of the conserva…

Gypsum, crop rotation, and cover crop impacts on soil organic carbon and biological dynamics in rainfed transitional no-till corn-soybean systems Open
Soil organic carbon (SOC), a core soil quality indicator, is influenced by management practices. The objective of our 2012–2016 study was to elucidate the impact of gypsum, crop rotation, and cover crop on SOC and several of its biological…
