ABSTRACT WITHDRAWN

Abstract:
No-tillage seeding is not widely used in California’s San Joaquin Valley largely because farmers are not familiar with the equipment and practices needed to make it successful. We evaluated the long-term impacts of no-till coupled with winter cover crops following the three most recent years of a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and garbanzo (Cicer arietinum) rotation phase of the 18-year study on soil water infiltration, bulk density and aggregation and yield in Five Points, CA.
