Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Tied ridges gave much better rainfall penetration than flat cultivation.
- Observation Maize yield responses were obtained only when the increase in available water made an appreciable difference to water stress at tasselling and silking.
- Method / resource The ripping, ridging and tieing system was an adequate alternative to ploughing and harrowing for seed bed preparation.
- Observation The tied ridge system was a much more efficient method of water conservation.
