Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Tillage practices had no significant effect on cassava sprouting percentage in 1994.
- Intervention effect In 1995, Heaping [HP] gave significantly higher cassava sprouting percentage than the other tillage treatments.
- Intervention effect Tillage had no marked effect on cassava height.
- Intervention effect Heaping [HP] gave significantly more cassava leaves than the other treatments 8 months after planting.
- Intervention effect Stem girth showed no marked differences among tillage treatments in either year.
- Intervention effect NSB gave significantly higher soil bulk density at planting than the other treatments.
- Intervention effect Soil chemical properties were not markedly affected by tillage practices.
- Intervention effect NSB had the highest cost of production.
- Intervention effect Ridging [RG] produced the highest returns.
- Recommendation The authors suggest that successful growing of cassava under reduced tillage is practicable in an Alfisol in this agro-ecological zone.
