Experimental design with a picture showing a drought treatment plot under a rainout shelter. Each of the 9 field pairs included a conservation tillage field and a conventional tillage field; in each field, we selected a 20 × 60 m area where no agrochemicals were applied; in each of these areas, we selected a drought treatment plot and a control rainfed plot; in each plot, we had a normally sown half (for yield, disease, predators and pests) and an unsown half (for weeds); in the unsown half, se selected two subplots for the study of weeds, and we performed the seed burial experiment.
