Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Wheat grain yields increased as tillage intensity decreased.
- Intervention effect In 2016, reduced tillage had greater available soil water at planting than no tillage, while conventional tillage had the least.
- Intervention effect Over 16 years, reduced tillage and no tillage had similar soil water at planting, about 1 inch more than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Over 16 years, no tillage wheat yield exceeded reduced tillage by 4 bu/a.
- Intervention effect Over 16 years, no tillage wheat yield exceeded conventional tillage by 7 bu/a.
- Intervention effect In 2016, long-term no tillage sorghum yield exceeded short-term no tillage by 15 bu/a.
- Intervention effect Across 16 years, long-term no tillage sorghum yield exceeded short-term no tillage by 70%.
