Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Reduced and no tillage increased soil bulk density relative to conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Under reduced and no tillage soil water content was greater shortly after rainfall than with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Later, soil water content under reduced and no tillage was lower due to enhanced evaporation.
- Intervention effect Retained straw did not counteract adverse soil physical conditions.
- Association Rainfall distribution strongly affected tillage and straw management effects on rye yield.
- Intervention effect During dry seasons rye yield declined more under reduced and no tillage than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect During dry seasons retained straw reduced yield more than removed straw.
- Intervention effect With favorable rainfall, reduced and no tillage did not negatively affect crop yield.
