First experiences with direct drilling in Germany.

Abstract

Conventional tillage methods were compared with direct drilling, using machines of 3 types, for wheat, barley, oats, maize and sugar beet on marginal and other soils. Each method of direct drilling sometimes gave substantial yield increments, though generally yields failed to equal or exceed those from conventional practice. Reasons for the differences are discussed. CCT. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
