Abstract

The test results of dryland maize cultivation under different tillage methods show that the soil bulk density in the depth of 2 cm~7 cm under no-tillage and detective soil moisture was increased by 4.31% comparing with rotary tillage,didn't reach significant level; no-tillage and detective soil moisture could reduce the soil temperature,and improve the soil moisture content in the depth of 0 cm~20 cm; the maize yield under no-tillage and detective soil moisture was 6 591.82 kg/hm2,and was lower 553.36 kg/hm2than rotary tillage, and the reduction effect didn't reach significant level. These results show that the no-tillage and detective soil moisture was an effective drought resistance sowing method in dryland agriculture.
