e0“The rotation system presented higher values of wheat grain yield (781 kg/ha) and dry straw biomass (1803 kg/ha) but also weed biomass (48.54 g m −2 ) compared to monoculture (27.50 g m −2 ).”

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Association Growing season rainfall was the most influential factor for yield parameters and weed population.
- Observation In drought-classified 2016–2017, growing season rainfall was 43.4% of the historical average.
- Association Wheat yield in the drought year was the lowest, at 373 kg ha −1 .
- Association Wheat harvest index in the drought year was the lowest, at 0.18.
- Association Scarcer autumn rainfall of 44 mm in 2015–2016 affected weed germination timing and reduced density to 17 plants m −2 .
- Association Scarcer autumn rainfall in 2015–2016 reduced weed diversity to 3 species m −2 .
- Association High winter and spring rainfall of 247 mm favoured wheat yield in 2015–2016.
- Intervention effect Tillage effects on wheat yield were not significant.
- Intervention effect No-tillage consistently had higher weed density and diversity than conventional and minimum tillage despite irregular rainfall.
- Intervention effect Rotation had higher wheat dry straw biomass than monoculture, at 1803 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Rotation had higher weed biomass, 48.54 g m −2 , than monoculture at 27.50 g m −2 .
- Intervention effect Combining no-tillage and rotation increased the weed community even during drought.
- Intervention effect Combining no-tillage and rotation did not reduce wheat yield relative to conventional systems even during drought.
