Title

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Spring precipitation strongly influenced dry pea yield.
- Intervention effect Tillage had little to no effect on dry pea yield.
- Method / resource A precipitation distribution and heat stress model predicted pea yield well.
- Association Winter precipitation influenced wheat yield more than spring precipitation.
- Intervention effect Fall SWP-SKW reduced wheat yield by about 400 kg ha −1.
- Intervention effect Fall SWP-SKW reduced wheat protein content.
- Mechanism Poor weed control probably explains lower wheat yield.
- Recommendation Dry pea is considered an agronomically viable rotation substitute for summer fallow or fresh pea.
