- Association Small soil aggregates increased with tillage intensity.
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage or spring ploughing sometimes gave higher aggregate stability than autumn ploughing.
- Intervention effect Decreasing tillage intensity increased weeds, especially Poa annua on silt soil.
- Intervention effect Straw treatment only slightly affected cereal yields.
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage gave small yield differences from ploughing on loam soil.
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage was inferior to ploughing on silt soil.
- Recommendation Shallow spring ploughing is recommended as an alternative to autumn ploughing.
