ABSTRACT:
Five conventional tillage methods were compared with a no-till system for soybean production. Changes in soil organic matter and soil penetrometer resistance were evaluated. Tillage effects on diseases and soybean cyst nematodes were also observed and measured. Yields generally did not vary significantly among tillage treatments.
