## TL;DR

This paper presents data on crop yield and soil conditions from three Austrian farms with different tillage methods over five years.

## Contribution

The study provides a uniformly compiled dataset from long-term experimental sites with diverse tillage practices.

## Key findings

- Tillage methods included no, minimum, reduced, and conventional depths (25–30 cm).
- Data reflects historical developments from long-term experiments (6–34 years).
- The dataset is publicly available on Zenodo for reuse in environmental research.

## Abstract

The agroecological “Marchfeld” cluster assessed the impact of tillage on primary production (yield) and selected soil parameters at three sites (two conventionally and one organically managed) from 2018–2022. The data were uniformly compiled in a data set. The examined factors were no, minimum (5–8 cm), reduced (10–15 cm) and conventional (25–30 cm) tillage. All measured parameters were documented in a state-of-the-art quality control approach and stored in the data set. The long-term experimental (LTER) sites have been operating for a long time (from 6–34 years), so that our parameters show accumulated historical developments that influence the present. The data is available for (re)use by others (scientists, stakeholders, etc.) on Zenodo for meta-analyses, process modelling and other environmental studies.
