Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Grass cereals grew under water deficit throughout their cycle in rainfed conditions.
- Recommendation The authors indicate late December sowing is required under these conditions.
- Observation Barley had the highest reported water-use efficiency among the cereals, 4.8 kg mm �1.
- Intervention effect Direct sowing increased water infiltration by 58% at Hamzet.
- Intervention effect Direct sowing increased water infiltration by 12% at Kharrouba.
- Intervention effect Direct sowing increased water infiltration by 56% at Mnara-Rjeybia.
- Intervention effect Apparent soil density and porosity favored direct sowing.
- Recommendation The authors recommend rotation of less depressive cereal types followed by tolerant ones to reduce phytotoxic residues under direct sowing.
