aField history metrics are proportions of years the management tactics was used out of the most recent 6 yr, except years of continuous corn, which is the total number of years the field had been planted to corn since 2003. S.I. = soil insecticide.
bMean ± SE (N).
cOne-tailed t-test was conducted.
dTwo-tailed t-test was conducted.
eSatterthwaite method was used due to unequal variances.
fNo test was conducted.
