Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource Optimum maize planting date was predictable from February-to-April SST anomaly, with R2 of 0.52 to 0.71.
- Intervention effect ENSO-predicted planting dates gave significantly higher maize yield than farmer-selected dates at three of four sites.
- Association In Wa, early optimal planting dates were associated with La Nina and El Niño.
- Association In Wa, late planting was associated with the Neutral ENSO phase.
- Intervention effect Adding manure improved soil water-use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Adding manure minimized yield variability, particularly with a weather forecast.
- Intervention effect Adding fertilizer minimized yield variability, particularly with a weather forecast.
- Recommendation The authors propose ENSO-guided planting with modest manure and fertilizer to improve maize yields and sustainability.
