Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Disc harrowing alone gave the tallest plants, largest stem girth, leaf number, and leaf area index at ten weeks.
- Intervention effect No tillage gave the lowest plant height, stem girth, leaf number, and leaf area index.
- Intervention effect Disc harrowing alone gave the longest roots, highest dry matter yield, and highest fresh cob weight.
- Intervention effect No tillage gave the lowest root, dry matter yield, and fresh cob weight.
- Intervention effect Ploughing followed by harrowing gave the highest dry cob weight and 1000-seed weight.
- Intervention effect Plant growth and yield did not differ significantly between harrowing alone and ploughing plus harrowing.
- Recommendation The authors consider disc harrowing alone optimal for Akposoe maize under the tested conditions.
