Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Strip tillage reduced the number of tillage operations by four to five passes in those trials.
- Intervention effect In two other trials, strip tillage reduced sweet corn yield by about 4.5 to 5.6 MT/ha relative to standard tillage.
- Intervention effect Transplanted broccoli yielded comparably under strip and standard tillage.
- Association Authors estimated that saved tillage costs would offset a 1 MT/ha corn yield reduction in one field.
