The study aims to evaluate how different tillage practices affect the distribution of organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus concentrations, and soil pH.
Continuous application of no-tillage, minimum tillage, and conventional tillage practices over 18 and 19 years in Hoytville and Wooster soils, respectively.
Soil profile analysis conducted at 0–30 cm depth, focusing on nutrient concentrations and pH variations across tillage methods.
Higher organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations were found under no-tillage in the 0–15 cm layer of Hoytville soil (P < 0.05).
Organic phosphorus concentrations were significantly higher in the 0–7.5 cm increment under no-tillage in Wooster soil (P < 0.05).
Soil pH was reduced by 0.1 to 0.3 units under no-tillage compared to other tillage methods, except at 22.5–30 cm in Wooster soil.
