Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect No-till grain yield exceeded plow-till in the first season.
- Intervention effect No-till grain yield exceeded plow-till in the second season.
- Intervention effect Residue mulch increased first-season yield from 2.33 to 2.59 Mg/ha.
- Intervention effect Residue mulch increased second-season yield from 0.69 to 0.79 Mg/ha.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer increased first-season maize yield from 1.90 to 3.03 Mg/ha.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer increased second-season maize yield from 0.65 to 0.98 Mg/ha.
- Intervention effect Plow-till produced more first-season stover than no-till.
- Intervention effect Plow-till did not produce more second-season stover than no-till.
- Intervention effect Mulch significantly increased stover yield.
- Intervention effect Mulch increased grain yield only with fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Mulch increased stover yield only with fertilizer.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that fertilizers, mulch and no-till can support satisfactory first-season maize yields under continuous intensive cropping.
