Agronomic and Economic Evaluation of Different Conservation and Conventional Farming Practices on a Sandy Clay Loam Soil at Minna, Nigeria

Odofin A. J.^*, Kaure I. G., Tanko L., Eneje R. C

Field trials were carried out in 2008 and 2009 cropping seasons to compare manual ridging (control) with ten conservation and conventional farming practices. The zero tillage treatments recorded significantly higher penetration resistance than manual ridging in both years. In terms of soil moisture content, seedling emergence, plant height, grain y...
