Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage lowered maize yield by 10–13%.
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage lowered wheat yield by 10–13%.
- Observation Maize protein was highest in MNR at 8.1%.
- Observation Soybean protein was highest in LEG at 40.4%.
- Observation Wheat protein was highest in CNV at 12.9%.
- Observation Wheat ash was highest in CNV at 2.0%.
- Observation Wheat sulfur was highest in CNV at 1430 ppm.
- Observation Oat quality was largely consistent between LEG and MNR.
- Recommendation The authors infer other management decisions affecting nutrient availability have greater effects on nutrient quality than reduced tillage.
