30 years of research from Michigan State University shows that no-till consistency produces higher, stable yields compared to tillage.

Early season drill interseeding might be a viable strategy since it extends the window for cover crop establishment and growth.

Newell Kitchen, a soil scientist with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service in Columbia, Mo., talks about how he and colleagues saw a relationship between yield productivity and erosion on a field they were studying.

A 7-year USDA study found that relatively low-level grazing does not compact the soil or significantly affect the amount of soil organic matter.

Overly optimistic assumptions about transgenic crops that produce two or more Bt toxins active against the same pest can lead to inadequate strategies for delaying evolution of pest resistance, says University of Arizona.

Winter wheat is the main crop in the Pacific Northwest and growers normally seed around 2.2 million acres every fall. Yet year after year, an average of anywhere from 1.3 to 22.3 tons of silt loam soil erodes from every acre that is in wheat production.
