- Observation Bare ground covered 187 km2 (11%) of the arable land in Nakasongola District, due to extreme soil compaction.
- Intervention effect All practices with fertilizer increased bean grain yield, with minimal statistical significance in some cases.
- Intervention effect Conservation farming tillage practices increased bean grain yield by 41% relative to conventional practices in permanent planting basins.
- Intervention effect Conservation farming tillage practices increased bean grain yield by 43% relative to conventional practices in rip lines.
- Intervention effect Conservation farming tillage practices increased maize grain yield by 78% on average relative to conventional practices.
- Intervention effect Conservation farming tillage methods are beneficial relative to conventional methods on degraded soils, with a short-term benefit of increased land productivity.
