420—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 2,1982 No-till booklets Miller noted that no-tiil com has approximately a 10-day advantage over conventional com before drought stress starts showing, “Even die-hard environmentalists like the moisture-holding and erosion-resistant mulch that you build up in a no-till cropping situation.” Paul R. Stafford, an agricultural technician for the University of Maryland, checks sturdy cornstalks on no-till corn at the University's Wye Institute agronomy research farm on the Eastern Shore. No-till mulch beneath Stafford's feet, retains moisture and helps to minimize drought stress. No-till corn also has been found to be more resistant to lodging than corn grown by conventional tillage methods.

This ad vantage usually increases in dry summers like 1981 and decreases in wet summers like 1979. He reported that, in a recent five-vear study at the University of One Sheet Galvanized Simple, efficient eyebolt and pin Maryland’s Poplar Hill research farm, no-till com outyielded conventional corn in every year except 1979. This year, seven of the top 10 yields by members ot the Kent county com club came from no-till fields. Similarly, a five-year comparison of yield results from county com clubs in Maryland shows a definite advantage for no till. However, the same comparison for soybean clubs showed no significant difference in top soybean yields achieved by either conventional or no-tillage methods. This is because no-tillage soybeans, are nearly always double-cropped in the same'season with small grains, Miller ex plained. Thus, they are normally planted later than soybeans grown byconventional tillage methods. A recent six-year double cropping research study at the Poplar Hill farm, however, showed an average 4.5 bushel-per-acre yield advantage for no-till COMPLETE FARM PAINTING INDUSTRIAL RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL^ We Use Quality Paint AERIAL LADDER EQUIPMENT • Modern and • Spray-On and Efficient Method BrUsh-ln Method * Reasonable Prices • Sandblasting if Necessary For Free Estimates Write or Call: ESH SPRAY PAINTING 717-687-7007 or 687-8262 .
