Discussion

The 2014 growing season was characterized by extremes; too wet and then too dry. Given the weather we experienced we were expecting to see some benefit to controlled traffic farming with regards to yield, but it simply was not the case; yields were the same statistically and there was no visual difference between the treatments at any time during the growing season. We will run traffic simulations and collect yield data at this site for two more years.
