Abstract

The LandWISE project demonstrates minimum tillage for crop establishment on wind erosion prone soils. Conventional and no-tillage were compared for sweet corn production near Hastings. Sweet corn plant populations and yield were similar for the two treatments, but soil quality was higher and nitrate leaching losses were lower under no-tillage.
