- Intervention effect Deep tillage increased maize grain yield by 2.27% compared with shallow tillage
- Intervention effect Deep tillage increased maize grain number by 2.79% compared with shallow tillage
- Intervention effect Deep tillage increased maize thousand grain weight by 1.02% compared with shallow tillage
- Intervention effect Incorporation of legume residue increased maize grain yield by 8.09% compared with no residue
- Intervention effect Incorporation of cereal residue increased maize grain yield by 1.37% compared with no residue
- Intervention effect Legume residue incorporation gave higher fractional contributions of ear and grain number than grain weight
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at 160 kg N ha-1 increased maize grain yield by 44.91%
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at 120 kg N ha-1 increased maize grain yield by 42.40%
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at 80 kg N ha-1 increased maize grain yield by 29.81%
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at 40 kg N ha-1 increased maize grain yield by 6.64%
- Intervention effect Canopy radiation use efficiency of maize increased under the given treatments in a similar trend to grain yield
- Association The treatment interaction was significant for maize grain yield in 2011 and over two years
- Intervention effect Legume residue gave markedly higher maize grain yield over two years than cereal residue or no residue
- Intervention effect 80 and 120 kg N ha-1 gave significantly marked changes in maize yield compared with control and 40 kg N ha-1
- Intervention effect Legume residue gave the highest maize yield and no residue the lowest
- Association The yield difference among treatments was mainly associated with ear number
- Association The yield difference among treatments was to some extent associated with 1000 grain weight
- Recommendation Residue of 5 t ha-1 with 120 kg N ha-1, incorporated deeply, is suggested for long-lasting positive response on crop yield and soil fertility
