Dunno, but I learned a long time ago that sometimes those stalks sticking up out of the ground are used as a moisture wick just as much as a shade source. Goes for wheat stubble as well. Where you killed the growing weeds with the cultivator, you stopped the moisture useage by the weeds. If there was much weed pressure in the no-till at planting, or right after planting, that may have something to do with it too. Where our topsoil goes several feet deep, you cant find the tile lines in the fall very well, but in the shallow topsoil, you can find the tiles lines very, very well right now. Seems the subsoils inability to allow the crop roots to penetrate for the moisture and nutrients are the culprit. But then, we raise a lot of perennial crops and our soil is obviously different.
