Growers in North Carolina have begun to notice that wheat tends to be taller and to produce larger heads in response to sub-soil slits from previous crops, but whether the practice is really improving yields has been up for debate.
The research of Extension Crop Science Associate, Georgia Love's, tested vertical tillage -- systems which confine soil disturbance to soil movement chiefly upward and/or confined to the region for planting the next rows.
In Love's tests on $6/bushel wheat, the method added $15 per acre profit.
Other results and equipment types are discussed. Delete the scoop?
