Title
Rye–Vetch Spatial Arrangement and Tillage: Impacts on Soil Nitrogen and Sweet Corn Roots
C. J. Lowry; D. C. Brainard Agronomy Journal 2017. doi:10.2134/agronj2016.09.0507
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Strip-tillage increased soil moisture compared to full-width tillage in 2 of 3 years
- Intervention effect Strip-tillage increased sweet corn shoot biomass compared to full-width tillage in 2 of 3 years
- Intervention effect Segregating rye and vetch into strips increased inorganic N within the crop row
- Intervention effect Segregating rye and vetch into strips had no change in sweet corn biomass or yield
- Intervention effect Strip-intercropping rye and vetch decreased sweet corn root mass within the row
- Association Sweet corn roots were responsive to small changes in soil N or moisture distribution from strip-tillage and segregated plantings
- Recommendation Strip-tillage and strip-intercropping show promise for adapting reduced-till systems to organic production
