Minimum tillage boosts soybean productivity by 15% without increasing soil organic matter.
Tillage methods affect soil and soybean growth. No-tillage and minimum tillage improve soil health but may reduce soybean productivity. No-tillage decreases soil pH and nitrogen uptake, delaying growth. Minimum tillage increases nitrogen uptake, growth, and yields. M7 and Zan soybean cultivars show higher yields, while Williams 82 has the highest oil yield. Minimum tillage can enhance soybean productivity by improving soil health and nutrient uptake.
