Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage gave similar rice grain yield to conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No tillage reduced rice grain yield by 15 % relative to conventional tillage.
- Observation No tillage was penalized by low rice plant density.
- Observation No tillage had high surface soil compaction.
- Intervention effect No tillage decreased rice plant N uptake.
- Intervention effect No tillage decreased apparent N recovery.
- Intervention effect Increasing N fertilization under no tillage did not recover the yield gap with CT.
- Intervention effect SOC stock did not differ significantly among tillage treatments after six years.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage increased SOC concentration in the superficial soil layer relative to CT.
- Intervention effect MT yielded the highest labile SOM amounts in the 0–15 cm layer relative to NT.
- Intervention effect MT used production resources more efficiently than CT.
- Mechanism MT sustained soil fertility through organic matter and nitrogen inputs, soil aggregation and less compaction.
- Recommendation Minimum tillage was recommended as a viable alternative for sustainable Italian temperate rice systems.
- Recommendation No tillage was suggested only for marginal and less productive areas.
