Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Zero tillage reduced wheat sowing depth relative to rotary tillage.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage facilitated early wheat growth and nitrogen uptake relative to rotary tillage.
- Intervention effect In high wet soil, SM1-1 yielded higher grain yield, NUpE and net returns than other seeders.
- Observation In low wet soil, SM3 and SM4 were more suitable than SM1-2 and SM2.
- Intervention effect The best-performing seeders improved spike numbers and nitrogen uptake, especially after anthesis.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage lowered input costs.
- Observation Small seeders did not reduce costs because low work efficiency raised labor costs.
- Association Increasing yield was the main determinant of improved net returns.
- Recommendation The authors recommend zero tillage for wheat in harvested rice fields with high soil moisture.
- Recommendation The authors recommend matching the seeding method to soil moisture.
