Tillage method did not affect yields of annually cropped wheat. A management strategy that reduces soil erosion risk and increases average annual production was developed. Annually cropped wheat, including two crops of lower yielding spring wheat, yielded 60% and 70% of winter wheat after fallow at the two locations. On a land use basis, annually cropped wheat, including the spring wheat crops, produced T2 - Journal of Soil and Water Conservation ER -
