- Intervention effect Conventional tillage gave the highest maize grain yield, especially for DKC 6897.
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage increased fuel consumption.
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage had higher production costs.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage reduced operational inputs.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage gave consistently high profitability for both hybrids.
- Intervention effect No-tillage produced lower yields.
- Intervention effect No-tillage reduced mechanization intensity.
- Intervention effect No-tillage lowered costs.
- Intervention effect No-tillage achieved competitive profitability.
- Recommendation The authors consider minimum tillage a sustainable and economically viable option for irrigated maize.
- Recommendation The authors recommend long-term studies of conservation tillage effects on yield stability, soil quality and economic resilience.
