Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Plough tillage gave higher ear density and grain number per ear in spring wheat than conservation tillage.
- Intervention effect Plough tillage increased spring wheat grain yield compared with conservation tillage.
- Intervention effect Stubble catch crops gave higher ear number and grain yield than undersown Dutch ryegrass and the control.
- Intervention effect Undersown red clover gave higher ear number and grain yield than undersown Dutch ryegrass and the control.
- Mechanism The better yield after stubble catch crops was largely due to an increased ear number per unit area.
- Mechanism The better yield after undersown red clover was largely due to an increased ear number per unit area.
- Intervention effect Tillage systems did not significantly change 1000 grain weight of spring wheat.
- Intervention effect Catch crops did not significantly change 1000 grain weight of spring wheat.
- Intervention effect Tillage systems did not alter the degree of infestation of spring wheat culm and root with a complex of fungal diseases.
- Intervention effect Undersown red clover gave a significantly lower disease index in spring wheat than undersown Dutch ryegrass and the control.
- Intervention effect Stubble catch crops gave a significantly lower disease index in spring wheat than undersown Dutch ryegrass and the control.
- Intervention effect Applied tillage systems did not change total protein and gluten content or sedimentation coefficient of spring wheat grain.
- Intervention effect Dutch ryegrass as a catch crop deteriorated the quality of spring wheat grain.
