The effect of conventional cultivation, direct drilling and crop residues on soil temperatures during the early growth of wheat at Murrumbateman, New South Wales - 1986 - Printed
7 graphs, 5 tables, 12 ref. Summary (En)
Generally, soil temperatures with conventional cultivation were warmer during the day and cooler at night than at the same depth with direct drilling. In a wet year, there was little difference between temperatures under conventional cultivation and those under direct drill with stubble burning and full disturbance. Similar patterns were found on an adjacent area which had previously grown fertilized ryegrass-clover pasture. Wheat sown by conventional means had a larger shoot dry weight per plant at the 4.5 leaf stage than had direct drilled wheat; this may have been partly due to soil temperatures
