Title
Effect of tillage and irrigation capacity on corn production
Freddie R. Lamm; Rob Aiken Digital Collections of Colorado (Colorado State University) 2006
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Corn yield increased by approximately 10% from the lowest to the highest irrigation capacity.
- Intervention effect No tillage gave 3% higher grain yields than conventional tillage.
- Mechanism Strip tillage obtains the residue benefits of no tillage in reducing evaporation losses without the yield penalty of high residue.
- Intervention effect Strip tillage and no-tillage gave small increases in total seasonal water use compared with conventional tillage, probably explained by their higher grain yields.
