Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Year round furrow diking increased sorghum yield by up to 72% versus BND.
- Intervention effect Year round furrow diking increased wheat yield by up to 23% versus BND.
- Intervention effect Fallow period diking increased sorghum yield by up to 62%.
- Intervention effect Fallow period diking increased wheat yield by 23%.
- Intervention effect Growing season diking alone did not significantly raise sorghum yield.
- Intervention effect At above average rainfall, flat planted sorghum yielded 39% less than BND.
- Intervention effect Planting wheat on beds did not improve yield over a flat seedbed.
- Recommendation The authors recommend fallow period or year round furrow diking where fallow rainfall is substantial.
