Paper Summary

A single tillage in a long-term no-till system on dryland crops was studied to see if it affects crop performance. The researchers found that doing a single tillage in a no-till system did not significantly impact crop yield, water use, or soil water compared to continuous no-till. This means that occasional tillage can be done without harming the crops in the long run.
