Interpreting tillage-residue management effects

Benoit, G.R.

Interpreting tillage-residue management effects - 1987 - Printed

A review of US data showed that the net effect of tillage influence depends upon the soil involved, presence of residue, and the time span since last tillage. In all probability many of the observed differences in tillage effects are not intrinsic but result from tillage system interactions with soil type andexternal influences over time, including prior management and climate.
