Discussion

Long-term experiment shows improved yield and water use efficiency in wheat-soybean system, indicating effective tillage practices.

Rotary tillage with straw mulching increased wheat yield by 13.4% compared to traditional methods.
Straw management significantly boosted dry matter accumulation and water use efficiency, highlighting its importance.
The experiment spanned from 2014 to 2018, focusing on dryland wheat-soybean double cropping.
These findings suggest that improved tillage and straw practices can lead to sustainable agricultural productivity.

Dong et al. (2025) studied this question.
