Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage with straw return in the warm-dry region increased wheat yield and yield components compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Rotary tillage with straw return in the cool-wet region increased maize yield and yield components compared with conventional tillage.
- Observation Yield stability of wheat was higher than that of maize under both climate conditions.
- Observation Experimental sites and straw return had more remarkable effects on crop yield and yield components than tillage practices.
- Association Mean temperature, annual precipitation and yield components together explained 75% of the variance in wheat yield.
- Mechanism Thousand-kernel weight was the key factor regulating wheat yield.
- Mechanism Kernel number was the key factor regulating maize yield.
- Recommendation Rotary tillage in cool-wet regions or conventional tillage in warm-dry regions, each with straw return, is a good technique for increasing crop security.
