- Observation Fallow water conservation was not significantly affected by tillage systems.
- Intervention effect Zero and minimum tillage increased soil water in the 0- to 60-cm layer by 9% over conventional tillage under stubble cropping.
- Intervention effect Zero and minimum tillage increased soil water in the 0- to 120-cm layer by 6% over conventional tillage.
- Observation Spring soil moisture averaged 87% of saturation under ZT and MT versus 82% under CT.
- Observation Field pea seedling populations were unaffected by tillage systems.
- Intervention effect Flax seedling populations were 8% lower under ZT and MT than CT.
- Observation Spring wheat establishment rate was not affected by tillage systems.
- Intervention effect Spring wheat yield increased by 21% under ZT and MT over CT.
- Intervention effect Flax yield increased by 23% under ZT and MT over CT.
- Intervention effect Field pea yield increased by 9% under ZT and MT over CT.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that residue and stubble conserving crop practices can be adopted.
