Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Higher soil organic carbon was associated with improved no-till rice yield, with levels above 18 g ha⁻¹ identified.
- Association N application rates above 120 kg ha⁻¹ were associated with improved no-till rice yield.
- Association Soil pH of 6–7 was associated with improved no-till rice yield.
- Association Clay content of 180–350 g kg⁻¹ was associated with improved no-till rice yield.
- Association Residue retention had limited influence on flooded rice yield outcomes.
- Association Crop rotation had limited influence on flooded rice yield outcomes.
- Association Rice establishment system showed no effect on no-till yield differences.
- Association Climate zone showed no effect on no-till rice yield differences.
- Association Under favorable soil and nitrogen conditions, no-till rice yields might resemble but not exceed conventional tillage yields.
