- Association Wheat grain yield increased as tillage intensity decreased.
- Association Sorghum grain yield increased as tillage intensity decreased.
- Intervention effect In 2019, sorghum planting soil water was greatest under no tillage, then reduced tillage, then conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect In 2019, reduced tillage had more soil water at sorghum planting than conventional tillage.
- Observation In 2019, wheat planting soil water ranked no tillage above reduced tillage above conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Across 19 years, wheat planting soil water was similar under no tillage and reduced tillage.
- Intervention effect Across 19 years, no tillage wheat planting soil water was about one inch greater than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Across 19 years, reduced tillage wheat planting soil water was about one inch greater than conventional tillage.
- Observation Average sorghum planting soil water ranked reduced tillage at least as high as no tillage, above conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Across 19 years, no tillage wheat yielded 5 bu/a more than reduced tillage.
- Intervention effect Across 19 years, no tillage wheat yielded 9 bu/a more than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect In 2019, long term no tillage sorghum yielded 50% more than short term no tillage.
- Observation Conventional tillage had the lowest sorghum yield in 2019.
