Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Corn grain yield after zone tillage with red clover underseeding was 36% higher than after no tillage with red clover.
- Intervention effect Zone tillage generally lowered soil strength compared with no tillage, indicating improved soil quality.
- Intervention effect Near-surface soil physical quality parameters under zone tillage were equivalent to or more favorable than under the other treatments.
- Recommendation Zone tillage with red clover underseeding is a viable option for corn production on Brookston clay loam soil.
