Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect In 1988, delaying corn planting until after first-cut hay harvest on fall-plowed plots did not reduce grain yield compared with May-planted corn under the same tillage.
- Intervention effect A delay in corn planting reduced grain yield significantly in 1989.
- Intervention effect Corn silage yield was equivalent among the tillage and planting systems tested in 1989.
- Recommendation The authors recommend that no-till systems can be used effectively for producing alfalfa hay and silage corn.
- Association Planting difficulties in 1988, with June rainfall at 7% of average, were associated with low silage yields, particularly in the no-till treatment.
