1. Crop Production and Nutrient Management with Strip-tillage in the Northern Great Plains

Conventional tillage is still the dominant tillage practice in the eastern third of South Dakota (USA). Producers are often facing wind and water soil erosion in this part of the state. Strip-tillage can offer an alternative production option that could lower erosion potential between cash crops, while maintaining the yield potential. In addition strip-tillage allows a same-pass nutrient placement. The research objectives are to compare tillage and fertilizer placement methods in a corn (Zea... P. Kovacs, C. Tesch, N. Passone
