Periodic Response of Soybean Yields and Economic Returns to Long-Term No-Tillage
NT will reduce soybean grain yields and economic returns, particularly during the first few years of adoption. Farmers have been encouraged to adopt no-tillage (NT) because Soybean grain yield response to NT systems depends of its positive environmental effects compared with other conservation tillage systems. Nevertheless, poor crop performance under NT manmainly upon soil drainage and previou...

could be optimized using modified NT systems (including ST) and starter fertilizer. In Iowa Mallarino et al. (1999) Utilizing conservation tillage practices and increasing fertilizer N found that ST frequently increased early growth but seluse efficiency for corn (Zea mays L.) are necessary for optimizing dom increased corn grain yields compared with NT. growers’ profits and for minimizing loss...
متن کاملConservation Tillage Systems for Corn Production on a Loessial Silt Loam and Alluvial Clay in Louisiana
Corn acreage has increased in recent years in Louisiana. Much of this is on mixed to heavy Mississippi River alluvial soils and to a lesser extent on loessial silt loams of the Macon Ridge. Each of these soil groups are unique in their phys ical and chemical characteristics and different management strategies may be required to produce optimal yield. Research has indicated that corn performs b...
متن کاملOptimizing Strip-Till and No-Till Systems for Corn
Recent developments in biofuel demand and the rapid adoption of modern transgenic hybrids are changing production systems towards more corn after corn, more intensive tillage, higher plant populations, and ever higher crop residue levels at harvest. Meeting society’s needs for food, feed, and fuel from grain corn, and in the future from corn stover, requires continued refinement of tillage syst...
متن کاملTillage and Rotation Interactions for Corn and Soybean Grain Yield as Affected by Precipitation and Air Temperature
rotation is also more effective in preventing deep leaching of nitrate N than continuous corn (Katupitiya et al., Reduced tillage, including no-till, and crop rotation are common 1997; Varvel and Peterson, 1990). Reduced stress from practices for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production in the Midwest. Benefits of no-till vary with latitude pests may be one of the reas...
