Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Tillage methods significantly affected maize plant height and yield components.
- Intervention effect Deep tillage produced taller plants and more grains per cob and improved 1000-grain weight.
- Intervention effect Deep tillage gave maximum grain yield of 6118 kg ha.
- Intervention effect Deep tillage gave the highest dry matter yield of 21732 kg ha.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage produced the shortest plants and fewer grains per cob.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage gave minimum grain yield of 5145 kg ha.
- Intervention effect Dry matter yield decreased significantly with the shortest plant height of 179 cm under zero tillage.
- Intervention effect Combined NPK and FYM produced the tallest plants, 191 cm, under deep tillage.
- Intervention effect Combined NPK and FYM produced the highest dry matter yield under deep tillage.
- Observation Similar grain yield and component trends occurred under conventional and zero tillage.
- Recommendation Combined organic and inorganic fertilizers can increase average per-hectare yield if soil fertility is maintained.
