Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Grain yields were not spatially consistent from year to year.
- Observation Poor production areas of corn were not found in similar locations each year.
- Observation Areas with better corn grain yields were not consistent from year to year.
- Observation Previous-year grain yields accounted for only 4 to 42% of the grain yield variability in a given year.
- Observation Grain yield maps from four previous years could only account for 46% of the 1995 grain yield variability.
- Observation Discarding the lowest and highest yielding years, 32% of the 1995 yield variability could be predicted from previous yields.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that site-specific yield-map fertilizer recommendations may not be possible without identifying causes of yield variability.
