Shallow Versus Deep Cultivation Affects Corn Yields
A Wrarka experimental study tests shallow for three inch and deep six inch soil cultivation on four acres split among cultivators. Results show shallow yields 68 and two at 60 washersels, while deep yields 56. Air penetration and moisture retention favor shallow practice, suggesting roots stay closer to surface when dry and avoid crust formation.
