Title
Corn and Soybean Response to Rotation Sequence, Row Spacing, and Tillage System
Palle Pedersen; Joseph G. Lauer Agronomy Journal 2003. doi:10.2134/agronj2003.0965
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Few interactions of row spacing with tillage or rotation sequence were found for corn and soybean yield.
- Intervention effect Corn grain yield was 11% lower at 19-cm spacing than at 38- and 76-cm spacing.
- Intervention effect Annually rotated corn and first year corn after five years of soybean yielded 15% more than continuous corn.
- Intervention effect Soybean yield was not affected by row spacing.
- Intervention effect No tillage soybean yield was 6% higher than conventional tillage yield.
- Intervention effect First year soybean following five years of corn yielded 8% more than the other rotation sequences.
- Recommendation Cropping history and tillage were judged unimportant for selecting optimal row spacing.
- Recommendation Spacing below 76 cm was judged unbeneficial for either crop.
