- Intervention effect Deep tillage combined with mulch increased leaf, stem and root biomass of soybean (P<0.05).
- Intervention effect Deep tillage combined with mulch increased leaf, stem and root biomass of lablab (P<0.05).
- Intervention effect Deep tillage combined with mulch increased leaf, stem and root biomass of grazing vetch (P<0.05).
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage combined with no-mulch depressed leaf, stem and root yield of maize (P<0.0.5).
- Intervention effect soybean showed no definite trend of significantly depressed leaf, stem and root yield under minimum tillage and no-mulch or deep tillage and no-mulch.
- Intervention effect lablab showed no definite trend of significantly depressed leaf, stem and root yield under minimum tillage and no-mulch or deep tillage and no-mulch.
- Intervention effect grazing vetch showed no definite trend of significantly depressed leaf, stem and root yield under minimum tillage and no-mulch or deep tillage and no-mulch.
- Association Leaf, stem and root biomass showed a low but positive significant correlation in legume crops.
- Observation Maize had a high correlation with its biomass parameters.
- Recommendation maize is recommended to be grown as a forage crop under combined deep tillage and mulch practices to obtain enhanced biomass.
- Recommendation soybean is recommended to be grown as a forage crop under combined deep tillage and mulch practices to obtain enhanced biomass.
- Recommendation lablab is recommended to be grown as a forage crop under combined deep tillage and mulch practices to obtain enhanced biomass.
- Recommendation grazing vetch is recommended to be grown as a forage crop under combined deep tillage and mulch practices to obtain enhanced biomass.
