Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Wheat-season subsoiling increased soil porosity at 30–40 cm at maize maturity in 2018 by 5.86%.
- Intervention effect Wheat-season subsoiling increased maize root length density at 40–50 cm by 30.00%.
- Intervention effect Wheat-season subsoiling increased grain yield by 4.70%.
- Intervention effect On-row subsoiling in maize season decreased soil bulk density at 20–30 cm by 4.52%.
- Intervention effect On-row subsoiling in maize season increased soil porosity at 20–30 cm by 6.96%.
- Intervention effect Compared with no tillage, on-row subsoiling significantly increased maize root length density at 20–30 cm by 78.45%.
- Intervention effect Compared with no tillage, on-row subsoiling increased maize root length density at horizontal 0–10 cm in both years, significantly by 58.89% in 2018.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that wheat-season subsoiling and maize-season on-row subsoiling can loosen soil and improve vertical maize root extension in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain.
