Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Increase in exchangeable soil K increased midseason leaf K in corn each year.
- Intervention effect The no-till system gave the lowest corn grain yields, compared with the chisel system.
- Intervention effect The chisel system gave the highest corn grain yields, compared with the no-till system.
- Association Tillage affected corn grain yields only in the growing season with the higher precipitation.
- Association Potassium treatment did not change corn grain yields.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that K fertility recommendations for moldboard plow systems are adequate for reduced tillage corn systems.
