- Intervention effect Chisel with 0.92 m rows at intermediate and high densities yielded significantly more maize than ploughing in average to dry seasons.
- Intervention effect Rip with 1.50 m rows at intermediate and high densities yielded significantly more maize than ploughing in average to dry seasons.
- Intervention effect Chisel with 0.92 m rows was among the most effective and stable economic treatments on heavier soil.
- Intervention effect Rip with 1.50 m rows was among the most effective and stable economic treatments on heavier and sandier soils.
- Observation Ploughing was profitable in some seasons but yield variation made it too risky.
- Intervention effect Wide row spacing was unprofitable at either locality.
- Association Profit margins depended strongly on prevailing maize prices.
