Does tillage improve corn stands?

Last Updated: May 18, 2009

Tillage can improve corn stands on heavy, wetter soils that have a tendency to remain cold in the spring. Tillage helps these soils warm more quickly and could lead to more uniform germination. Planter technology and row cleaners help to till a small zone of soil that allows no-till fields to function similarly to tilled fields in northern areas.
