Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Tillage practices differed significantly in growth, dry matter yield and yield components.
- Intervention effect Disc ploughing then harrowing produced the highest seedling emergence, plant height, stem girth, and leaf number.
- Intervention effect Disc ploughing then harrowing produced the longest roots and highest dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect No tillage gave the shortest plants and smallest stems and leaf numbers.
- Intervention effect No tillage gave the shortest roots and lowest dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect No tillage produced the fewest pods per plant, seeds per pod and lowest thousand-seed weight.
- Recommendation The authors recommend disc ploughing followed by disc harrowing for cowpea growth and yield under the tested conditions.
