As a new type of agricultural double cropping system, winter wheat-summer sorghum planting system is an effective measure for the sustainable development of cereal grains in Shanxi Province. In order to elucidate the short-term response of grain-size distribution and stability of soil aggregates to straw application in this cropping system in farmland, based on the winter wheat-summer sorghum cropping system, the effects of treatments of no crop residue returning (CK), 50% (HR) and 100% (WR) on grain-size distribution characteristics and stability index of soil aggregates were analyzed in this study. The results showed that straw returned to field could significantly reduce the mechanical stability of aggregate (> 10 mm and < 0.25 mm) in 0—30 cm soil layer, significantly increase the contents of 0.25~2 mm water-stable aggregates. At the same time, the PAD and ELT were significantly reduced (p < 0.05). The effect of WR compared HR treatment on improving the characteristics of soil aggregates in farmland was more obvious, but the improvement effects in the soil layers of 10—20 cm and 20—30 cm gradually declined. The MWD, GMD and R0.25 of mechanics-stable soil aggregate decreased significantly by 12.2%, 23.0% and 5.3%, respectively; the GMD and R0.25 of water-stable aggregates increased significantly, and the values of water-stable aggregates D (p < 0.05) reduced under WR treatment compared with those under CK. In addition, the aggregate stability was positively correlated with organic carbon, porosity, water content and crop yield (p < 0.05). It showed that the WR treatment is an effective measure to improve the soil aggregate characteristics and increase crop yield by significantly increasing the stability of soil aggregates in winter wheat-summer sorghum cropping system field in Jinzhong area within a short period of time.
