- Observation On-farm trial yield lay between farmer average and water-limited potential yield.
- Observation Farmer-field maize yield was projected to decline by mid-century and further by century end in low-potential clusters.
- Intervention effect February planting, 64 kg ha −1 N and conservation tillage yielded a 5.8% advantage over 30 cm till at Shamana under medium emissions at mid-century.
- Intervention effect Mulching at 5 t ha −1 projected a 4–5% yield advantage in Hawassa at mid-century.
- Intervention effect Conservation tillage and June planting projected over 13.4% yield advantage in Bilate under high emissions at mid-century.
- Intervention effect Ten t ha −1 mulch, conservation tillage and February planting projected a 1.8% yield advantage in Dilla versus control.
- Recommendation The authors favored nitrogen and mulching combined with tillage or planting-date adjustment as least risky.
