The study looked at how different ways of farming affect water use and crop productivity on sloping land. They tested liquorice, wheat, and indigowoad root crops. Results showed that no-tillage with straw cover improved soil moisture and crop efficiency compared to traditional methods. Wheat yield was highest with no-tillage, followed by traditional methods, and lowest with no-tillage plus straw cover. Indigowoad root yield was not affected much by straw cover. Overall, no-tillage methods were better for water use and crop productivity on sloping land.
