Effect of straw return methods on soil physical properties in the early stage of corn growth. DPR, straw incorporation with deep tillage; SSR, straw incorporation with subsoiling NTR, no-tillage mulching straw return; CK, farmer’s shallow rotation. Y, year; T, straw management; L, layer. Lowercase and uppercase letters indicate significant differences between treatments in 2021 and 2022, respectively (p < 0.05), as determined by the HSD test. The values are the means ± standard errors (n = 3).
