Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Soil temperature at 4 cm decreased as tillage intensity decreased from conventional to no tillage during warmer years.
- Intervention effect Soil temperature was similar under conventional and zone tillage during a cooler year.
- Intervention effect Growing degree days in the seed zone fell with decreasing tillage.
- Intervention effect Lower soil temperature under no tillage did not delay corn seedling emergence initiation.
- Intervention effect Lower soil temperature under no tillage reduced corn seedling emergence rate relative to conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Late vegetative and early reproductive corn growth rates were higher under zone tillage.
- Intervention effect Late vegetative and early reproductive corn growth rates were higher under no tillage.
- Intervention effect Corn grain yield rose as tillage intensity declined in a year with drier tasseling conditions.
- Observation Corn grain yields were similar among tillage systems in the other two years.
- Recommendation Converting no tillage to zone tillage was not expected to raise yield significantly.
- Recommendation Converting no tillage to zone tillage was not expected to seriously reduce grain yield relative to conventional tillage.
