Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Closer spacing raised pearl millet grain yield by 12%.
- Intervention effect Closer spacing raised total dry matter by 11%.
- Intervention effect Mean grain yield over eight years was 470 kg ha –1 under fertilizer microdose versus 262 kg ha –1 in control plots.
- Intervention effect Crop residue retention increased yields by 7% in microdose plots.
- Intervention effect Crop residue retention increased yields by 81% in control plots.
- Observation Grain yield fell 16% after eight years in microdose plots.
- Intervention effect Microdose without crop residue removal had more stable yield.
- Observation Soil nitrogen status decreased after eight years.
- Recommendation The authors recommend fertilizer microdose with crop residue retention as a base practice to increase yield.
