Title

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Low-chemical soybean-corn rotation gave greatest net returns under chisel tillage.
- Intervention effect Low-chemical soybean-corn rotation gave greatest net returns under moldboard tillage.
- Intervention effect Low chemical management reduced production costs by about $110 per hectare.
- Observation Gross returns fell $38 per hectare in moldboard tillage.
- Observation Three ridge tillage systems had similar returns of $33, $26 and $17 per hectare respectively.
- Recommendation Replacing continuous corn with soybean rotations could reduce fertilizer, herbicide and insecticide use.
- Recommendation Moldboard growers may maximize profit with low-chemical soybean-wheat/red clover-corn rotation if wheat straw is sold.
