e0“The effects of different irrigation frequencies and levels of water quality on maize yield and growth parameters”
e4“The raised bed irrigation system demonstrated better performance than the drip irrigation system; plant height, biological yield and maize yield in the former system were 1%, 5% and 21% higher, respectively, than in the latter”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Irrigation frequency had a statistically significant effect on maize plant height.
- Intervention effect Plant height decreased when irrigation frequency increased from every 2 to every 4 days.
- Intervention effect Plant height increased when irrigation frequency increased from every 4 to every 6 days.
- Intervention effect Raised bed irrigation gave 1% higher maize plant height than drip irrigation.
- Intervention effect Raised bed irrigation gave 5% higher maize biological yield than drip irrigation.
- Intervention effect Irrigation frequency had a statistically significant main effect on maize total dry matter weight.
- Mechanism Vigorous maize growth in the raised bed plots is likely due to salts being leached from the root zone.
- Recommendation The authors do not recommend raised bed irrigation over drip irrigation for maize.
- Intervention effect Raised bed irrigation used more irrigation water than drip irrigation in maize production.
