New research on strategic tillage in dryland no-till systems
No-tillage systems offer many benefits to dryland crop production in the Central Great Plains. Over the long-term, some issues can arise. Learn about new research from K-State on using "strategic tillage" in these systems to help alleviate these issues.
Strategic tillage in long-term no-tillage systems
Strategic tillage is defined as a one-time tillage operation in an otherwise no-till system to manage challenges of long-term NT, including difficult-to-control weeds and pH stratification. Following this operation, the system returns to no-till. This article reviews recent research on the use of strategic tillage in western Kansas.
