- Intervention effect Tillage did not affect mean fallow water storage.
- Intervention effect Tillage did not affect mean water use by wheat.
- Intervention effect Tillage did not affect mean water use by sorghum.
- Observation Yield, growth and yield components differed among growing seasons.
- Intervention effect Wheat grain and straw yields were unaffected by tillage.
- Observation Mean wheat grain yield was 2.92 Mg ha −1.
- Intervention effect Sorghum grain yield was greatest at 3.91 Mg ha −1 with reduced tillage after sorghum and no tillage after wheat.
- Intervention effect Sorghum stover yield was unaffected by tillage.
- Intervention effect Sorghum panicle number was greatest at 233 000 ha −1 under the treatment with greatest grain yield.
- Intervention effect Sorghum panicle number was least at 212 000 ha −1 under the treatment with least grain yield.
- Intervention effect Sorghum seed and test weights were unaffected by tillage.
- Recommendation A wide range of tillage systems is adaptable for dryland wheat–sorghum cropping in the southern Great Plains.
