Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect no-tillage + high (150 lb N/a) manure application produced higher corn yield of 207 bu/a.
- Intervention effect tillage + super high manure (750 lb N/a) produced higher corn yield of 203 bu/a.
- Observation Nitrogen fertilizer trends were similar across tillage systems.
- Intervention effect No-till had greater corn yield than tillage with high fertilizer.
- Intervention effect No-till had greater corn yield than tillage with high manure.
- Mechanism Erosion, runoff and reduced stands may explain lower yields under tillage.
