Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Barley and red clover produced similar yields across high and low input systems
- Observation Some form of primary tillage was needed for adequate weed control and yield in organic and herbicide-free systems
- Observation Herbicide-free and organic no-till systems failed to produce a corn crop
- Observation Combining conservation tillage with low-input systems appears easier to achieve in competitive cereal crops
- Intervention effect Lack of tillage lowered wheat yields after green manure terminated by roller crimping compared with tillage
- Intervention effect Roller crimpers and mowing can successfully kill annual green manure crops
- Intervention effect Roller crimpers and mowing reduced weed growth following green manure termination
- Recommendation Flexible crop production programs are more likely to promote sustained environmental, economic and social prosperity than rigid organic or no-till adherence
