Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Grain yields of wheat were generally not affected by a single tillage operation every 3 years.
- Intervention effect At Tribune, a single tillage after wheat harvest reduced grain sorghum yields compared with a complete no-till system.
- Intervention effect At Garden City, wheat yields were not different after a single one-time tillage prior to wheat.
- Intervention effect In 2019, wheat yields at Garden City were lower when tillage was implemented after wheat harvest in 2016.
- Observation Wheat yields at Tribune ranged across years from mid-20s to 90 bu/a.
- Observation Wheat yields at Garden City ranged across years from less than 10 to 100 bu/a.
- Observation Grain sorghum yields ranged from 40 to greater than 140 bu/a, depending on year and location.
- Recommendation Tillage during fallow prior to wheat planting may be better than tillage after wheat harvest for controlling troublesome weeds.
