Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Tillage practices were the main source of grain-yield variation in Mindoro and Leyte.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage gave the highest corn grain yield, about 5.29 t/ha, in Mindoro.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage gave the highest corn grain yield, about 3.95 t/ha, in Leyte.
- Intervention effect Tillage-by-variety combinations did not significantly affect yield in Camarines Sur.
- Observation Minimum tillage produced 2.79 t/ha corn grain yield in Camarines Sur.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage generally gave higher corn grain yield than farmers’ tillage.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage had the highest net benefit through lower production costs.
- Intervention effect Leaving the soil surface undisturbed conserved soil moisture during dry periods.
- Recommendation The authors recommend conservation tillage as a viable corn-production option.
