Abstract
In trials in 1980-1 on a red sandy loam soil, the individual and interactive effects of primary tillage, inter-row cultivation and methods of cultivation and fertilizer application on fodder production in a sorghum/oats rotation were studied. Conventional tillage was superior to no tillage for both crops. Inter-row cultivation increased sorghum fresh fodder yields by 13.7% under no tillage, but had no effect under conventional tillage. The placement of fertilizers in bands at 5 and 10 cm depth increased sorghum fresh fodder yields by 2.7 and 2.1 t/ha, resp. Results indicated the possibility of omitting tillage for sowing oats after sorghum on plots given conventional tillage
