The growth and yield of winter wheat following 10 years of continuous ploughing, shallow-tine cultivation or direct drilling on a non-calcareous clay soil
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
The growth and grain yield of winter wheat were measured in plots which had been direct drilled, mouldboard ploughed or shallow-tine cultivated for 10 consecutive years. The experiment was carried out on a non-calcareous clay soil prone to winter waterlogging. In 1985 the crop grew well on all cultivations and grain yield, average 7–2 t/ha, was similar in all treatments and no adverse effects on wheat growth or on grain and straw yield were observed.
