Tillage and irrigation increase wheat root systems at deep soil layer and grain yields in lime concretion black soil

Abstract In lime concretion black soil, a two-factor (tillage and irrigation) split block experiment from 2015 to 2017 was conducted to identify whether their combination is suitable for the improvement of winter wheat yield and water use efficiency. The main treatments were subsoiling (SS) and rota...
