Strip Tillage?

Posted by Dave from MN on August 08, 2006 at 17:32:23 from (64.13.56.17):

Any one doing this? Saw it on AG-PHD tonight. What type of soils is it best suited. Looks to me that basically all you want to do it turn up the soil where you will be setting the planter disc. Leaving the rest. Am I right? Also , with all this no tillage and residue accumulation isnt their an increase in risk of disease and insect potential? I do notice that on my ground I rent that the round up did not really knock out the weeds, seems to do less every year. Hoping my discing up in fall and seeding rye wont make things worse, or should I just plow it and get that soil worked up first once renters beans are out. I am in sandy loam with pockets of peat.
