Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect NTB and CTM increased root-zone soil moisture over NTM and CTB.
- Intervention effect Main effects of tillage and mulch on soil moisture were not significant.
- Intervention effect Crop water use was uninfluenced by the treatments.
- Intervention effect No-till yielded more grain than conventional tillage, significantly in 2007 only.
- Intervention effect Mulch increased grain yield in 2006.
- Intervention effect Mulched plots yielded about 26% more than bare plots.
- Intervention effect NTB had a 53% yield increment over CTB.
- Intervention effect NTM had a 53% yield increment over CTB.
- Intervention effect CTM had a 67% yield increment over CTB.
- Observation Relative water use indicated crop water demand was met under all treatments.
- Association Water use efficiency followed the same treatment pattern as grain yield.
- Intervention effect NTB and CTM were superior to NTM for soil moisture status.
- Intervention effect NTB and CTM were superior to CTB for all measured parameters.
- Recommendation NTB is preferable to CTM for sorghum production in this area.
