- Intervention effect Chiselling increased root growth and activity of soybean and maize compared with the initial compacted condition, but only for the first 18 months.
- Association Root mass was poorly correlated with root activity in soybean and maize, except for ruzi grass.
- Intervention effect Introducing ruzi grass plus castor bean into the cropping system improved soybean yield.
