Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect No-till gave lower soil cover thickness for wheat seed than rotary and conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No-till gave a higher number of uncovered seeds than rotary and conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No-till gave a lower percentage of seedling-less ridges than rotary and conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No-till gave lower tiller density than rotary and conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Straw mulch gave higher tiller density than non-straw mulch.
- Intervention effect Straw mulching gave more soil water content and root length density at most growth stages and soil depths.
- Intervention effect The maximum root length density, root surface area density and root dry matter density were obtained under no-till.
- Intervention effect In the topmost 10 cm soil layer, root length density was higher under no-till than under rotary and conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect In 2012-2013 no-till gave significantly higher yield than rotary and conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Grain yield was significantly higher with straw mulch than with non-straw mulch.
- Observation A strong relationship was observed between water-use efficiency and grain yield.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that no-till and straw mulch were beneficial for wheat, giving higher grain yield and enhanced water-use efficiency, especially in a low rainfall year.
