Draft and energy data are presented for six reduced tillage treatments on Dothan sandy soil. The implements included a paraplow, KMC subsoiler, chisel plow and A.C. no-till planter. Plant height, yield, taproot length and harvest population were evaluated with respect to tillage treatments. Statistical relationships between tillage system, soil compaction, taproot length and crop yield are given.
