1. Long Term Tillage and Fertility Effects in CornA long term study to evaluate tillage methods and fertilization practices on corn under monoculture was initiated in 1970. Effects on grain yields and soil property changes were evaluated over 20 growing seasons. Four tillages evaluated were continuous conventional, alter- nate till (2 years no-till: 1 year conventional till), continuous chisel till, and continuous no-till. The five fertilizer treatments evaluated were: control, 0-0-0; 175-0-0; 160-0-0 broadcast plus 15-80-120 row banded at planting;... |
2. Effects of Residue Density, Strip Tillage, and Starter K on No-till Corn Grown in Wheat StubbleField studies were conducted in 1992 to 1994 at 2 locations in southern Illinois to evaluate the influence of wheat straw residue density and stl-ip-tillage vs no-tillage on corn growth and yield. Corn growth and resultant yield is frequently reported by producers to Se depressed in the residues of a previous wheat crop. Allelopatliy is thought to be at least partially involved. The objective of the research was to evaluate straw level (removed, remain non-modif ied, and doubled), strip tillage,... |
3. Effect of Changing the Rotation Sequence in a Long Term Tillage and Fertility StudyA continuous experiment was conducted fiom 1970 to 1999 to determine the long term effects of fertilizer application and tillage practices on soil acidity, organic matter and nutrient changes, and crop responses. Four tillage treatments were evaluated: continuous conventional: alternate till (two years no-till: one year conventional); continuous chisel till; and continuous no-till. Five fertilizer treatments were also evaluated (Ib ac-' N-P205-K20): check, 0-0-0; 175-0-0 broadcast; 160-0-0 broadcast... |
