Extract

Experiments have been conducted on heavy gault clay and on a gravelly loam to determine the effects of rolling and harrowing autumn-sown wheat in spring. It is concluded that rolling has no effect on yield on such soil types. In general, harrowing also had little effect on yield, although on three occasions it significantly increased the weight of grain per ear in excess of the increment to be expected from its effect on ear number.
