Abstract: 【Objective】This study aims at exploring the feasibility of application of deep rotary-subsoiling tillage on crop growth in North China concerning the problems of shallow plough layer, solid plough pan and low soil productivity resulted from the application of rotary tillage in successive years.【Method】Four treatments including rotary tillage 15 cm, interval sub-soiling 30 cm, deep rotary sub-soiling 30 cm, and deep rotary sub-soiling 50 cm were designed in an experiment carried out in Wuqiao of Hebei province to study the effects of different tillage treatments on soil water, soil bulk density changes and crop yield. 【Result】 The results indicate that different tillage treatments greatly affected soil water storage. Deep rotary sub-soiling treatments benefited the precipitation infiltration and water storage, especially under drought conditions. At the turning green stage of the winter wheat, the soil water storage of deep rotary sub-soiling treatments was significantly higher than that of the rotary tillage. Soil water storage of the deep rotary sub-soiling treatment at 50 cm and at 0-50 cm soil layer was 11.69 mm higher than that of the rotary tillage treatment and 10.56 mm higher than the interval sub-soiling treatment, improved by 12.21% and 10.90%, respectively. Different tillage treatments greatly affected soil bulk density. A year and a half after tillage, the soil bulk density of all deep rotary sub-soiling treatments was significantly lower than that of the rotary tillage and interval sub-soiling treatment at 0-30 cm soil layer. Soil bulk density of deep rotary sub-soiling at 50 cm treatment was significantly lower than other treatments at 30-50 cm soil layer. The figure of deep rotary-subsoiling tillage was lower than that of the rotary tillage treatment before winter wheat seeding while showed no difference afterwards. Different tillage treatments affected soil physical property, which further influenced the crop LAI, matter production, grouting process and yield. In all soil tillage treatments, the crop yield of the deep rotary sub-soiling treatment was significantly higher than that of the rotary tillage and interval sub-soiling. After one and a half year, the summer maize yield of the deep rotary sub-soiling at 50cm reached 13 822.68 kg•hm-2 and 13 127.87 kg•hm-2 of that at 30 cm, which is 38.19% and 31.24% higher than conventional rotary tillage, respectively. 【Conclusion】 Deep rotary sub-soiling tillage at 30cm is the most suitable method in this area considering the ecological and economic factors.
