- Intervention effect Chisel lowered sediment concentration by 49.1% versus plowing.
- Intervention effect Subsoiling lowered sediment concentration by 77.7%.
- Intervention effect Chisel decreased soil loss by 73.4% compared with plowing.
- Intervention effect Subsoiling decreased soil loss by 95.9% compared with plowing.
- Observation Nutrient losses followed the soil loss pattern.
- Observation Sediment from plowing plots was enriched in nutrients and heavy metals versus bulk soil.
- Observation Subsoiling showed no significant sediment versus bulk soil concentration differences.
- Intervention effect Subsoiling reduced bulk density and penetration resistance at 10-30 cm.
- Intervention effect Water-holding capacity under subsoiling was 7.6% greater than plowing.
- Intervention effect Subsoiling maize biomass yield was 19% greater than chisel.
- Recommendation The authors identify subsoiling as a viable conservation strategy for sloped agricultural landscapes.
