In order to investigate the effects of no tillage measurements on water holding capacity
grain yield
and production income
an experiment of different tillage ways was conducted in Yangling District
Shaanxi Province in 2007.Results showed that soil moisture was 1.2% higher in no tillage treatment compared with traditional tillage.Moreover
root length of corn in booting stage under no tillage was 26.6 m
71.6% more than that in traditional tillage.Finally
grain yield was 8 408 kg/hm2
which was increased by 11.3%
and production income was increased RMB 1991 yuan more than traditional tillage.The conclusion is that no tillage with straw mulching can efficiently increase soil moisture and evidently increase grain yield and production income.The sowing technology can be used in Guanzhong irrigation area and similar regions.
