- Intervention effect Crop residues reduced modeled surface runoff by 28% against control fields.
- Intervention effect Tillage and residue effects on soil water were inconsistent across the growing period.
- Intervention effect Intercropping had relatively higher water productivity than sequential cropping.
- Association The second sequential crop often had poor yield under water stress.
- Association Late monsoon rain events benefited the second sequential crop.
