Minimum tillage yields compare with conventional corn planting
Agronomist William Larson reports minimum tillage performing close to conventional methods in yield trials. In Ames Justaeus tests irrigated plots produced 94 bushels per acre, while Sherden and Doon trials without irrigation showed notable yield differences.

Liquid Fertilizer Rates and Practicalities
Iowa State College tests show dry and liquid fertilizers with equal nutrient amounts deliver similar yields. Key decisions hinge on handling convenience and cost per nutrient unit. Advantages include easy pumping, uniform mixtures, and soil spraying or irrigation use. Disadvantages cover metal corrosion, equipment needs, and maintaining a 1-3 or narrower N to P ratio. Low analysis limits per application may require more gallons per acre than some gear can handle.
