Straw mulching rarely helps wheat yields in 12 year Ohio test
An Ohio State Wooster study shows 1 ton of straw in December raised wheat yield by 0.4 bushel, while fall applications reduced it. Two tons, applied late or early, lowered yields by 3.5 to 3.6 bushels. In 1917 mulched wheat yielded 22 bushels per acre, other plots failed. Straw mulches reduce soil nitrogen. manure top-dressing often increases yield due to higher nitrogen and nutrient content.
