Equipment for strip-till planting is under development in wheat-fallow

absence of tillage during the fallow season. At planting time, the
strip-till planter creates a narrow band into which the wheat seed is
placed. The area between the rows is undisturbed...
This study evaluated the effects of tillage system, rotational tillage sequences, and winter seed burial depth on weed seedling recruitment in irrigated cropping systems. Notill (NT) planting of vegetable crops reduced emergence of hairy nightshade by 77 to 99% and Powell amaranth emergence from 50 to 87% compared to conventional...
