Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Soil moisture reached a minimum of 15.0% under the CT system with spring plowing in 2022.
- Observation Soil moisture under the chisel variant of the MT system was intermediate, at 15.8%.
- Observation The weeds present in the maize crop were 36% monocotyledonous and 64% dicotyledonous.
- Recommendation Weed management should keep weeds under the economic threshold with technological measures such as soil tillage systems rather than eradicate them.
- Intervention effect Soil tillage had a significant effect on maize yield and on its interactions with other technological measures.
- Intervention effect The three-year average maize yield was highest with the MT system, at 4.51 t ha-1.
- Intervention effect The three-year average maize yield with the CT system was 4.81 t ha-1, reported as lower than the MT system.
- Intervention effect The three-year average maize yield with the NT system was 3.38 t ha-1, reported as lower than the MT system.
- Association Technological measures applied in accordance with the climate forecast increased the chances that the maize crop goes well and gives high and stable yields.
