Straw mulch-based no-tillage improves tillering capability of dryland wheat by reducing asymmetric competition between main stem and tillers
The moisture-conserving effect of straw mulch-based no-tillage (SMNT) is expected to increase fertile spikes and grain yield in environments with rainfall less than 200 mm. However, the mechanisms underlying the positive effect of SMNT on wheat tillering are not fully elucidated. A split-plot experi...
