Abstract

Abstract Strip tillage into killed rye ( Secale cereale L.) and oats ( Avena sativa L.) cover crops was evaluated as a production system for machine-harvested processing tomatoes ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). No effect of tillage on yield was found for 2 out of 3 years. Yield was reduced in the third year in strip-tilled rye plots due to low transplant vigor and possibly low-temperature injury. Populations of plant parasitic nematodes were stimulated by rye and strip tillage. Bacterial diseases were increased by strip tillage in one season. Long-term evaluation of conservation-oriented systems is required to determine effects on yield, nematodes, and diseases.
