Comparing No-Till and Tilled Wheat in Kentucky
Comparing No-Till and Tilled Wheat in Kentucky
Abstract
Historically, wheat planting in Kentucky has involved tillage. With conventional tillage practices, most residues from the previous crop are cut and buried prior to seeding wheat. No-till wheat planting eliminates tillage and reduces soil erosion, particularly on sloping soils, as well as reducing labor, machinery, and energy costs.
