Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Furrow planting gave better maize grain yields than ridge planting.
- Intervention effect Maize yield responded significantly to tied ridges and planting methods.
- Intervention effect Flat bed planting gave the lowest grain yield on Entisols.
- Intervention effect Open end planting on ridges gave the lowest grain yield on Vertisols.
- Intervention effect Yield response to tied ridges was higher on Entisols than on Vertisols, relative to flat bed planting.
- Intervention effect Water conservation treatments gave higher grain yields under fertilized than unfertilized conditions on both soils.
- Association Maize yield responses were higher in seasons with low and poorly distributed rains.
- Association Maize yield responses were higher on shallow and coarse textured soil (Entisols) than on deeper and fine textured Vertisols.
- Recommendation Increasing rain-fed maize yields in low and erratic rainfall areas depends on improved soil and water conservation practices.
