- Association Spring wheat had higher root distribution in the 0-10 cm soil layer at seedling stage.
- Association Spring wheat had higher root distribution in the 10-30 cm soil layer at flowering and maturity stages.
- Association Field pea had higher root distribution in the 0-10 cm soil layer at seedling and maturity stages.
- Association Field pea had higher root distribution in the 10-30 cm soil layer at flowering stages.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching and plastic mulching increased root length and root surface area of spring wheat and field pea compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching and plastic mulching increased root surface area of spring wheat and field pea by 43.2% to 162.4% compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching and plastic mulching optimized root system distribution of spring wheat and pea compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching and plastic mulching increased root length and root surface area ratio of spring wheat and field pea at 0-10 cm depths at seedling stage, compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching and plastic mulching significantly increased root distribution at deeper depths at flowering and maturity stages, compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching increased root length of spring wheat and field pea by 3.3% in the 30-80 cm soil layer at flowering stage.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching increased root surface area ratio of spring wheat and field pea by 9.7% in the 30-80 cm soil layer at flowering stage.
- Association Total root length, root surface area and yield of spring wheat were significantly positively correlated in each growth period.
- Observation Total root length and pea yield were significantly positively correlated.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching and plastic mulching boosted yield of spring wheat and pea by 23.4%-38.7% compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect No tillage with straw mulching and plastic mulching increased water use efficiency by 13.7%-28.5% compared with conventional tillage.
- Recommendation No-till farming and straw mulching are recommended to improve crop yield and water utilization of spring wheat and field pea.
