EFFECT OF CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT AND CROPPING SYSTEM ON PEARL MILLETAND COWPEA YIELD
TSpace 2000
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Seven-year mean pearl millet grain yield was significantly 180 kg ha-1 year (12%) greater with incorporated residues than removed residues.
- Intervention effect Cowpea grain yield was 186 to 240 kg-1 ha-1 year-1 (19 to 25%) greater with incorporated or surface-retained residues than removed residues.
- Intervention effect Cowpea stover yield was 316 to 350 kg-1 ha-1 year-1 (41 to 45%) greater with incorporated or surface-retained residues than removed residues.
- Intervention effect Cowpea rotation increased pearl millet grain yield by an average 228 kg-1 ha-1 year-1 (15%).
- Intervention effect Cowpea rotation increased pearl millet stover yield by 628 kg-1 ha-1 year-1 (19%).
- Intervention effect Surface residue retention yielded higher soil P levels than other residue treatments.
- Intervention effect Residue incorporation or surface retention yielded higher soil K levels than residue removal.
- Observation The authors conclude that residue incorporation and cowpea rotation increased pearl millet cropping sustainability and productivity.
- Recommendation The authors recommend incorporating crop residues and rotating with cowpea for pearl millet cropping.
