Synopsis Highest yields of wheat were obtained on fallow land. The next best place to grow wheat in the sequence was following either flax or corn. Lowest yields of wheat were obtained when it was grown following oats, barley or rye. Manure increased yields of all crops in the year applied and produced a residual effect on yield and on the level of easily extractable phosphorus.
