Soil insect control in reduced tillage cropping systems
Abstract
"Missouri row crop producers have rapidly accepted and adopted reduced, conservation, or no-tillage practices. They planted about 55 percent or 6,000,000 acres of the 1981 crop of soybeans, corn, small grains, and grain sorghum in soils receiving some degree of reduced tillage. Although reduced tillage practices offer several advantages, one disadvantage is difficult insect control. Major insect problems occur more frequently and are often more damaging with reduced than with conventionally tilled crops."--First page.
