Abstract

• Tillage and fertilization have an interactive effect on soil physicochemical properties. • Commercial organic fertilization decreased soil compaction and increased soil fertility but introduced a large amount of salt ions. • Wheat yield was limited by the increased EC 1:1 , and maize was more responsive to increased TN. • Keep ρ b 10 g kg −1 , EC
