e0“an improved technique of stubble‐mulch plowing using an improvised plow operating on the tandem and double‐cut principle gave results fully as satisfactory as turn plowing”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Both stubble-mulch approaches significantly reduced yields for crops other than hay.
- Intervention effect Improved stubble-mulch plowing made a seedbed as loose as turn plowing.
- Intervention effect Improved stubble-mulch plowing conserved moisture via crop residues.
- Intervention effect Disking appeared to produce a seedbed harder to penetrate.
- Intervention effect Disking appeared to cause inefficient crop use of moisture and excessive evaporation.
