- Intervention effect No tillage significantly reduced maize stand density relative to deep and shallow ploughing and chiselling.
- Intervention effect Maize canopy height was slightly higher under no tillage.
- Intervention effect Maize dry biomass was slightly higher under no tillage.
- Association Meteorological conditions during vegetation had more impact on maize productivity parameters than long-term tillage reduction.
