Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Residue management generally had no effect on annual pearl millet grain and stover yields.
- Intervention effect Residue incorporation or surface retention increased four-year mean cowpea grain yield by 186 to 240 kg-1 ha -1 year -1 (19 to 25%) versus removal.
- Intervention effect Residue incorporation or surface retention increased four-year mean cowpea stover yield by 316 to 350 kg-1 ha-1 year-1 (41 to 45%) versus removal.
- Intervention effect Rotation with cowpea increased pearl millet grain yield by an average of 228 kg-1 ha -1 year -1 (15%).
- Intervention effect Rotation with cowpea increased pearl millet stover yield by 628 kg-1 ha -1 year -1 (19%).
- Intervention effect Surface residue retention produced higher soil P levels than other residue treatments.
- Intervention effect Residue incorporation or retention produced higher soil K levels than removal.
- Recommendation The authors recommend incorporating crop residues and rotating pearl millet with cowpea.
