Abstract
Crop yield results from three long-term drainage experiments are analysed and show that increases of up to 1 t/ha of winter wheat can be attributed to the effect of drainage. Mole drainage is clearly the preferred treatment on heavy clay soils. There is also a suggestion that drainage permits more efficient utilization of nitrogen.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
