- Intervention effect Broad bed furrows raised soil water content at 0 to 0.3 m by 9.35–10.44%.
- Intervention effect Broad bed furrows raised soil water content at 0.3 to 0.6 m by 4.56–9.30%.
- Intervention effect Broad bed furrows raised soil water content at 0.6 to 1.05 m by 3.85–5.26%.
- Intervention effect Plant uptake depleted more soil water in broad bed furrows than flatbeds.
