Long-term rotation and tillage effects on soil structure and crop yield
Abstract:
Diverse crop rotations contributed to better soil structure than simple crop rotations. Diverse crop rotations were necessary for no-till cropping systems to be successful. Crop yield trends were related to visual estimations of soil quality, suggesting that the visual estimation method used here was accurate.
