- Intervention effect Precipitation stored as soil water during fallow was 35%, 23% and 15% under no-tillage, sweep and disk management.
- Intervention effect Available soil water at sorghum planting was 21.7, 17.0 and 15.2 cm under no-tillage, sweep and disk management.
- Intervention effect Grain sorghum yields were 3,140, 2,500 and 1,930 kg/ha under no-tillage, sweep and disk management.
- Association Sorghum forage yields were slightly higher than grain yields.
- Association Water-use efficiency for forage production was higher than for grain in sorghum.
- Association Water-use efficiency for forage decreased across treatments in the same order as for grain in sorghum.
- Intervention effect Net returns for sorghum with no-tillage were four times greater than with disk tillage.
- Intervention effect Net returns for sorghum with sweep tillage were two times greater than with disk tillage.
