- Intervention effect More crop residue mulch increased maize grain yield.
- Intervention effect More crop residue mulch increased soil organic carbon.
- Intervention effect More crop residue mulch increased nitrogen.
- Intervention effect More crop residue mulch increased available phosphorus.
- Observation Additional benefits of applying more than half the residues as mulch were relatively small.
- Intervention effect Returning rejected residues with livestock urine and faeces increased soil organic carbon.
- Intervention effect Returning rejected residues with livestock urine and faeces increased nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Returning rejected residues with livestock urine and faeces increased available phosphorus.
- Recommendation The authors suggest that 25–50% of residues can be removed as feed without detriment.
