Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Zero tillage with rice straw mulching reduced carbon footprint versus conventional cultivation.
- Intervention effect Neither cultivation method significantly affected soil organic carbon stock.
- Observation Soil organic carbon stock increased significantly between seasons 1 and 2.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage enabled potato cultivation 15–25 days earlier than conventional cultivation.
- Intervention effect Simulated earlier planting under zero tillage did not significantly increase potential tuber yield.
- Association Alkalinity, carbonates, and anaerobic soil conditions drove the soil quality index and affected tuber yield.
- Recommendation The authors identify zero tillage with mulch as promising for crop diversification, soil sustainability, and labor reduction.
