QUICK SUMMARY OF WHAT WE LEARNED • Nutrient placement in pre-plant tillage operation gave respectable positive results • All season long the positive placed nutrition had effects: o Better root development, both depth and number of roots o Better water utilization of rain and soil profile moisture to deeper depths o Improved plant growth and development all season • In the tillage comparison trials o Water intake is better in conservation tillage operations o Plant growth was slightly improved in the strip till portion of the trial o Yields (strip tilled) were very comparable to the plough system o Cost analyses would show the 0.3T/ha strip till yield was most likely better or the same as the plough system
