- Intervention effect Ridge tillage increased soybean grain yield to 106%–129% of conventional tillage across both fields.
- Association Increased pod number was a major contributor to soybean yield increase under ridge tillage.
- Intervention effect Ridge tillage significantly increased nodule nitrogen fixation activity until flowering.
- Intervention effect Ridge tillage significantly increased soybean root nitrogen absorption until flowering.
- Intervention effect Ridge tillage produced more abundant soybean roots in superficial soil layers than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Ridge tillage reduced wet injury during the rainy season overlapping soybean flowering.
- Intervention effect Soybean nitrogen accumulation from fixation until R7 was significantly higher with ridge tillage than conventional tillage.
