Don't Overlook Effect of Variables on P Use in Corn-Soybean Rotations Dr. Gyles Randall and Jeffrey Vetsch Tillage Systems, P placement, P levels in soils, and applied P rate can affect yields and economic return Minnesota studies show. Issue 44, Vol. 12, No. 1 - Early Spring 2004 - Pages 20-23 (PDF, 3 pages, 55 KB)
Searching for More Effective Corn Starters in Conservation Tillage Dr. John Kovar A combination of laboratory/greenhouse and field experiments offers useful information to dealers, producers, and agronomists. Issue 41, Vol. 11, No.  2 - Early Spring 2003 - Pages 8-11 (PDF, 3 pages, 46 KB)
Do Starters Work Better in Reduced-Till Systems? Dr. Larry G. Bundy Research suggests that beneficial responses to starter may be more frequent, and the size of the response greater in high residue systems, specially in no-till.

Timing and Placement One Key To High Yields Dr. Stanley A. Barber Purdue scientist shows how strip placement of fluids is superior to broadcasting. Issue 16, Vol. 5, No. 1 - Winter 1996 - Pages 20-23 (PDF, 2 pages, 21.8 KB)
Managing Reduced-Till System Dr. Raun Lohry Nutrient and residue management are key components in a cohesive program to maximize crop yields. Issue 11, Vol. 3, No. 4 - Fall 1995 - Pages 22-26 (PDF, 3 pages, 18.5 KB)
Nitrogen Management Key In Conservation Tillage Crop Production Dr. Donald J. Eckert Ohio studies show that method and timing of N placement have an effect on N-use efficiency. Issue 8, Vol. 3, No. 1 - Winter 1995 - Pages 11-13 (PDF, 3 pages, 380 KB)
Sub-Surface Placement Best In Reduced-Till Drs. R.E. Lamond, W.B. Gordon, D.L. Fjell Kansas research shows importance of nutrient management/hybrid selection in boosting crop yield. Issue 8, Vol. 3, No. 1 - Winter 1995 - Pages 14-15 (PDF, 2 pages, 194 KB)
High-Residue Producing Crops And Reduced-Till Improve Soil Productivity Dr. John Havlin and L.W.
