Fig. 1. The influence of tillage on winter wheat for the four major time periods of the tillage/fertility experiment at Pendleton, OR, 1945–1997. Values without a letter in common are significantly different at the 0.05 probability level, according to Tukey's HSD.

Fig. 2. The influence of N fertilization during (a) Period 1 (1944–1951); (b) Period 2 (1952–1961); (c) Period 3 (1962–1987); and (d) Period 4 (1988–1997) on winter wheat for the tillage/fertility experiment at Pendleton, OR, 1945–1997.

Fig. 5. The influence of soil depth and 9-mo cropping season (1 October–30 June) precipitation on winter wheat yield, during Period 3 (1962–1987), for the tillage/fertility experiment at Pendleton, OR, 1945–1997. Points represent the mean yield of individual plots. The bars indicate ±1 SE. Curves were generated using distance-weighted least squares.
