Subsoiling and Ridge Tillage Alleviate the High Temperature Stress in Spring Maize in the North China Plain

High temperature stress (HTS) on spring maize (Zea mays L.) during the filling stage is the key factor that limits the yield increase in the North China Plain (NCP). Subsoiling (SS) and ridge tillage (R) were introduced to enhance the ability of spring maize to resist HTS during the filling stage. T...
