Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect FLRC gave a 17.64% higher four-year-averaged maize yield than ULDC.
- Intervention effect AL gave a 6.79% higher four-year-averaged maize yield than ULDC.
- Intervention effect FLRC improved spring maize yield in both arid and wet years.
- Mechanism The yield gain under FLRC is attributed to the increase in hundred kernel weight.
- Intervention effect AC improved spring maize yield in the arid year of the 2014 summer drought.
- Intervention effect FLRC increased spring maize plant biomass by 7.19% over ULDC in 2011.
- Intervention effect FLRC increased spring maize plant biomass by 7.88% over ULDC in 2012.
- Intervention effect In arid 2011, the plough layer construction had no significant effect on maize height or stem diameter.
- Intervention effect The improved plough layer construction promoted maize stem diameter at the seedling stage in the wet year.
- Intervention effect FLRC raised the averaged SPAD value by 2.66% over ULDC in 2011.
- Intervention effect FLRC raised the averaged SPAD value by 3.94% over ULDC in 2012.
- Intervention effect AC gave a higher photosynthetic rate of spring maize than ULDC in the arid years 2011 and 2014.
- Intervention effect FLRC gave a higher plant photosynthetic rate than ULDC in the wet year 2013.
- Intervention effect AL gave a higher plant photosynthetic rate than ULDC in the wet year 2013.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that FLRC is an efficient plough layer construction for improving spring maize yield and growth.
