Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Cowpea growth and yield on Anira peat were not significantly affected by tillage.
- Mechanism Poor weed control was proposed as the principal reason for lower average yields without tillage on Anira peat.
- Observation Tillage significantly improved physical properties of clay soil.
- Intervention effect Cowpea yield did not differ significantly between tilled and untilled clay plots.
- Mechanism Poorer soil physical conditions appeared to explain the lower mean yield on untilled clay plots.
- Recommendation No-tillage on Anira peat with adequate weed control is preferred for cowpea production on the Guyana coast.
- Recommendation Further management research was recommended for clay soils.
