Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage methods (ZSD and NSD) can improve leaf greenness by about 10–15%.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage + strip-drill (ZSD) can improve pod numbers by 6.7%.
- Intervention effect No-plowed tillage + strip-drill (NSD) can improve pod numbers by 3.5%.
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage methods may reduce seed quality and germination capacity.
- Intervention effect Plowed tillage + conventional row sowing (PCR) promotes balanced nutrient composition and carbohydrate production under optimal soil conditions.
- Observation Ash content under PCR is 55.8 g kg−1, the lower end of the tillage range.
- Observation Ash content under ZSD is 57.4 g kg−1, the upper end of the tillage range.
- Intervention effect ZSD enhances protein levels by 3% at the expense of carbohydrates.
- Mechanism The protein increase under ZSD is likely due to improved nutrient retention.
- Intervention effect ZSD stabilises protein yield (mean 843.8 kg ha−1) across variable environments.
- Recommendation The authors recommend ZSD for conservation agriculture.
- Recommendation Plowed tillage + strip-drill sowing (PSD) offers a balance between crop productivity and quality.
