- Mechanism Planting basins had considerable weed growth in the maize–cowpea rotation, likely owing to wide intrarow spacing and poor cowpea light competition.
- Intervention effect Mulch suppressed weed growth by up to 36% under conservation agriculture in maize–cowpea–sorghum rotation versus unmulched conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect When planted on the same date, crop yield did not differ between conservation agriculture and unmulched conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Maize–cowpea–sorghum rotation grain yield was 3143 kg/ha, double monocropping yield.
