- Intervention effect Minimum tillage had 7% higher soil bulk density than conventional tillage with 5 tons ha-1 cattle dung in 2019.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage had 6% lower total porosity than conventional tillage with 5 tons ha-1 cattle dung in 2019.
- Intervention effect Ten tons of cattle dung increased saturated hydraulic conductivity by 17% versus five tons in 2018.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage yielded 35-57% more maize than conventional or zero tillage at specified N rates in 2018.
- Association Soil bulk density was positively correlated in 2018.
- Association Total porosity was negatively correlated in 2018.
- Observation Minimum tillage with N or cattle dung raised bulk density and yield and reduced porosity.
