Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Direct-seeding mulch cropping retained higher soil water potential than reduced tillage at three depths.
- Intervention effect Crop development did not change with soil practice.
- Intervention effect Maize yield in one field was 3.04 t/ha higher under DMC than RT.
- Intervention effect Sorghum yield was 2.105 t/ha higher under DMC than RT.
- Recommendation The authors conclude DMC can provide short-term field benefits in southern France, though conditions for benefits remain unclear.
