e0“compared to CF, all four ridge and furrow planting patterns significantly enhanced crop yield in dry and normal years, and the effects varied depending on crop species, with increases of 45.3-97.8% for wheat and 11.0-33.8% increases annually in dry years”

- Intervention effect PRFNR reduced the wheat grain glutenin/gliadin ratio by 10.9%.
- Intervention effect Permanent ridges yielded more than annually recreated ridges.
- Intervention effect Normal ridge width outperformed border ridge width for yield.
- Intervention effect Annually recreated ridges had superior wheat grain phosphorus, potassium, protein and component content to permanent ridges.
