Abstract

Variations in survival of winter wheat and in yields of winter wheat, spring wheat, and barley were obtained among rows of power-seeded variety trials where there was differential packing by tractor wheels. This variation makes variety comparisons difficult and introduces bias in single-row-plot and two-row-plot trials. A power seeder with four drive-wheels giving uniform packing of all rows greatly reduced the variation in yield among rows.
