- Intervention effect Maize grain and stover yields were statistically at par under continuous and rotational conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Wheat grassy weed density and biomass were lowest under continuous zero tillage following zero or conventional tillage in maize.
- Intervention effect Tillage treatments had nonsignificant effects on wheat broadleaf weed density and biomass.
- Intervention effect Tillage treatments had nonsignificant effects on wheat grain and straw yields.
- Intervention effect Two hand weedings at 15 and 30 days after sowing reduced maize weed density and biomass versus a weedy check.
- Intervention effect Two hand weedings at 15 and 30 days after sowing raised maize yield versus a weedy check.
