Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Soybean yield was unaffected by the studied management practices.
- Intervention effect No-till and conventional tillage produced equal continuous-corn yields in 1990 and 1992.
- Intervention effect No-till corn yielded 30% more than conventional tillage in 1991.
- Intervention effect Cultivated conventional-tillage corn yielded similarly to herbicide-treated no-till corn in the plentiful-rain year.
- Intervention effect Delaying clover plow-down increased clover biomass by 700 to 3500 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Delayed plow-down significantly increased clover biomass nitrogen in two of five years.
- Observation Delayed clover plow-down affected corn yield in two of twelve comparisons.
- Intervention effect In the affected comparisons, delayed clover plow-down reduced corn yield by about 50%.
- Intervention effect Supplemental nitrogen increased corn yields to 62–84% of recommended-practice yields.
- Intervention effect Banded nicosulfuron increased corn yields to 62–84% of recommended-practice yields.
- Intervention effect Supplemental nitrogen increased wheat yields by half, reaching 40–60% of yields under 90 kg N/ha.
