Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation Early spring soil moisture reserves in the 0-100 cm layer amounted to 166-177 mm in all tillage variants.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage increased moisture reserves by 4.0-6.0 mm in the first year of green manure sowing.
- Intervention effect Long-term sowing in untreated soil increased moisture reserves by 2.0-2.8 mm.
- Intervention effect Plowing to 28-30 cm caused a 10.0% moisture loss through more intense surface evaporation.
- Intervention effect Moisture losses under zero tillage were 8.0%.
- Intervention effect Moisture losses under zero tillage were 6.4%.
- Intervention effect Post-harvest green manure increased productive soil moisture by 2.0-5.4% under plowing.
- Intervention effect Post-harvest green manure increased productive soil moisture by up to 8.5% with zero tillage in the first year.
- Intervention effect Post-harvest green manure increased productive soil moisture by up to 6.0% with long-term zero tillage.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage with green manure raised the share of used soil moisture in soybean water consumption to 5.7%.
- Intervention effect Moisture-use efficiency was lower under no-till than under plowing.
- Intervention effect No-till decreased soybean crop yield relative to plowing.
- Observation Moisture use was most efficient for soybean under plowing, with a water consumption coefficient of 1280 m3/t.
- Intervention effect Water consumption was higher under zero tillage, reaching 17%.
- Intervention effect Post-harvest buckwheat increased water use efficiency under zero tillage by 5.0-10.0%.
