“…Wheat is one of the most important food crops in the world [1,2], the nutritional value and economic value of which are very considerable as it provides vital quantities of high-quality starch, protein, vitamins, and other nutrients [3,4]. As the world's largest producer and consumer of wheat, the development of wheat industry in China is of great significance to guarantee not only social stability, but also world food security [5,6].…”

Water retention agents have been applied to agricultural fields to improve the growing conditions of crops, but the potential of these agents in saline soils is poorly understood. The effects of compound water retention agents on nutrient content and soil microbial diversity of saline winter wheat soils were investigated in a field experiment with no water retention agent (CK) and 30 kg hm2 of commercial attapulgite water retention agent (T4) as control and different amounts of compound water retention agents as treatments (15 kg hm2-T1, 30 kg hm2-T2, 45 kg hm2-T3). The study showed that the application of water retention agents increased the soil water content. From anthesis to harvest stage, the decreases in soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium and organic matter content were greater in T2 and T3 than in the other treatments. At harvest stage, the alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen content of T2 was significantly lower than that of CK and T4 6.19–8.83% and 4.62–5.39%, respectively. The soil available phosphorus content of T2 was significantly lower than that of CK 8.14–8.83%. The relative abundance of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria as well as the Shannon and Simpson indices of T2 reached their maximum at harvest stage. T2 showed the best performance in terms of overall number of OTUs. The compound water retention agent may regulate soil nutrient content and accelerate plant nutrient accumulation by regulating soil water content and soil microbial abundance composition.

“…In this study, the wide space seeding proved better than the furrow sowing in promoting the growth and development of winter wheat, water consumption, photosynthesis, and water utilization. This may have been due to the reason that the wide seed spacing not only expand the growth space of a single plant and reduce the competition of plants for natural resources (Das and Yaduraju, 2011), but also facilitate the deep application of fertilizers, and improve radiation interception and water utilization (Li et al, 2013;Lv et al, 2020).…”

Field experiments were conducted to assess the effect of four sowing methods on the growth, photosynthetic, and yield traits of dryland winter wheat. Furthermore, the impact of N input rates was also evaluated on water consumption by the wheat plants from the soil. The seeds of winter wheat were sown using wide space sowing (WS), furrow sowing (FS), stereoscopic sowing (SS), and drill sowing (DS). The results indicated that different sowing methods significantly affected the yield and grain quality. The increase in grain yield was 25%, 17%, and 11%, respectively, under WS, FS, and SS compared to that in DS. From sowing to jointing, the water consumption was highest under WS, mainly in deep soil layers. The photosynthetic traits and leaf area index were highest under WS, followed by those under FS. The plant height was highest under DS. The water consumption index and grain yield were higher at the N rate 210-240 kg ha-1 than those at the other N rates applied. In conclusion, the WS and 210 kg N ha-1 improved the canopy structure, water consumption, and winter wheat yield.

“…In many parts of the world, various methods of zone tillage and cereals seeding, especially wheat, are studied [80,81]. The grain yields are, in general, not lower, and even higher than in CT, RT or NT systems [82][83][84]. The mean three-year yield of winter rapeseed grown in Poland ( Śmielin) was significantly higher than after CT and RT.…”

The non-inversion tillage systems, including strip-till (ST), are the key element of conservation agriculture (CA). The aim of the 2012–2018 study has been to demonstrate the application of strip-till one-pass technology (ST-OP) on the farms of Central and Eastern Europe based on the use of Mzuri Pro-Til machines. There has also been an evaluation of the effect of that technology on the soil properties and the effects of crops growing. The scientific observations and field experiments were made, e.g., in Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Eastern states of Germany, Belarus, Serbia, and Romania. ST-OP case study with the use of Mzuri Pro-Til machine can be applied for growing all the basic crops. Tillage with a simultaneous basic fertilization application and seeding made regularly for a few years in given field leads to favorable changes in the soil properties. As compared with the soil under conventional plough tillage (CT), the soil moisture, especially in the periods of rainfall deficit, the content of organic carbon and its fraction, the count of microorganisms and earthworms, as well as the enzymatic activity, are higher. This technology saves over 20–30 L ha−1 of fuel, respectively, compared to reduced tillage (RT) and CT. Plant emergence is uniform, dense canopies and crop yields—not lower and even higher than for tillage and seeding commonly applied in Central and Eastern Europe. ST-OP can be thus an important element of field plant production as part of CA and sustainable development.
