Abstract

Twenty-seven individually tile drained one-quarter-acre plots were established at Iowa State University’s Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Research Farm in spring 2021. Nine system treatments were assigned in triplicate to the research plots (Figure 1). The site was designed for comparison of litter and land management practices, with immediate and ongoing goals of evaluating crop yield response to poultry litter application timing and cover crops, and water quality impacts with reduced tillage practices.
