The objective of this experiment was to determine if tillage practices affect corn growth and grain yield response to starter fertilizer. The experiment was conducted near Columbia, MO in 2000 and 2001. The experimental design included three hybrids, with and without tillage, and with and without starter fertilizer. The authors found no evidence that growers who use no-tillage are more likely to see yield responses from starter fertilizer than growers who use some other form of tillage.
