The horsch literature probably "proves" that it "pays" in the extra yield to give it a run of a horsch cultivator first. simple things like sowing the dd crop the same day as conventional when it should have been sown earlier(winter) or later(spring)
 
The information is not enough. We don't know what the reason for the lower yield was - were all the plant populations the same in April? We all know a no till crop which we recognise as a "good winter crop" in April should be completely capable of yielding the same as any other so without finding out more about why the yield was lower we are not learning much.

My suspicion is that it may be something to do with the following - lateish drilling date, pests, poor machinery design ie open slots or seed on surface, poor plant population survival overwinter, poor weed management, compaction or possibly a bit more fertiliser is needed in the early stages of no till. Without knowing more its hard to judge the published document rationally.

Thanks for putting it up TC.

I would like to add to post 57. For cultivated land spring row crops havested with a combine the Horsche planter is very effective.
