Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Late-season weed biomass did not differ across alternative organic corn sequences.
- Observation Tillage and no-till corn production gave high in-row weed pressure in different years.
- Intervention effect Cover crop management before tillage-based corn did not affect grain yields.
- Association Corn silage yields were positively correlated with corn populations in tilled and no-till systems.
- Intervention effect The NT sequence lowered tillage frequency by 39% compared with tillage-based corn production.
- Intervention effect The NT sequence lowered tillage intensity by 52% compared with tillage-based corn production.
- Intervention effect The NT sequence did not significantly influence labile carbon pools compared with tillage-based corn production.
- Intervention effect Underseeded red clover sequences gave higher net returns than hairy vetch sequences, owing to fall forage income.
