Long-Term Tillage Effects on Crop Yields and Soil Physical Properties.

Sjoerd Duiker, Dept of Crop and Soil Science, Pennsylvania State Univ., Penn State University, 116 ASI Building, University Park, PA 16802-3504

Since 1978, a trial has been conducted in Central Pennsylvania comparing corn yields with moldboard plowing, chisel-disking, disking, and no-tillage. In this presentation, crop yields and soil physical properties after more than 25 years of continuous management will be presented.
