Extract

1. Two experiments designed to investigate the effects of different times of ploughing a clover ley on the growth and yield of the subsequent winter wheat crop are described and the results discussed.

2. Although the different times of ploughing led to considerable differences in the growth of the wheat, their effect on yield was not consistent. This in agreement with the results of an earlier series of experiments. The effects of time of ploughing are attributed mainly to the resulting differences in the physical condition of the seed-beds.
