- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen levels raised yield under every tillage system.
- Intervention effect Reduced tillage yielded 6% to 24% less than mouldboard ploughing.
- Association Growing-season accumulated temperature and rainfall around flowering were decisive for maize yield.
- Association Rainfall in the 60 days after sowing correlated negatively with zero-tillage yield.
- Association Rainfall in the 60 days after sowing showed no correlation with yield under tillage.
- Observation Soil organic carbon content and earthworm amount showed no clear trends.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage produced high weed pressure.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage caused soil compaction.
- Recommendation Reduced tillage was recommended as an alternative to ploughing.
