ID-177: Comparing No-Till and Tilled Wheat in Kentucky
Authored by: Dottie Call Larry Grabau John Grove Jim Herbek Don Hershman John James Doug Johnson Jim Martin Lloyd Murdock Dave Van Sanford
Abstract
Historically, wheat planting in Kentucky has involved tillage. With conventional tillage practices, most residues from the previous crop are cut and buried prior to seeding wheat. No-till wheat planting eliminates tillage and reduces soil erosion, particularly on sloping soils, as well as reducing labor, machinery, and energy costs.
