“…These results are similar to those of Kayode and Ademiluyi(2004) which observed low heights corn plants in the non-tilled plots compared with tilledplots in South -West of Nigeria. Khurshid et al (2006) also achieved great heights of the plants in the conventional tillage system compared with tillage system reduces plots in Faisalabad in Pakistan.…”

Management of soil fertility in particular of the tropical degraded ferruginous soils is a key factor for attaining potential crop yield. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different systems of tillage and nitrogen fertilizer on root biomass of cotton (Gossypiumhirsutum), plant height and leaf area index. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with tillage systems conventional tillage (CT) and reduced tillage (RT), fertilizer rates (0; 60 and 120 Kg N/ha) and mulching Crop mulching (M) and no mulching (NM). Our results showed that at 30, 60 and 120 days after sowing, tillage systems had a significant effect (P<0.001; P<0.01and P<0.05) on cotton root biomass at 0 -10 cm; 10 -20 cm and 30 -40 cm depth. A significant effect of tillage system was also recorded on plant height at 21, 42 and 63 days after sowing. The highest average plant height (121 ±1.3 cm) was obtained with the conventional tillage. However, tillage system did not show a significant (P>0.05) effect on the leaf area index. The effect of nitrogen fertilizer was significant (P<0.01 and P<0.05) on root biomass at 90 and 120 days after sowing. The interaction between tillage system and nitrogen fertilization dose significantly (P<0.01 and P<0.001) affected the root biomass. However, the highest number of roots (15.453±3.23g/plant), plant height and leaf area index was recorded in the conventional tillage with the fertilizer rate of 120 kg N/ha. In addition, tillage system and nitrogen fertilization had a significant effect on the date of flowering of cotton plants.It can be concluded from the study that CT and nitrogen fertilizer boosted root growth, leaf area index and plant height of cotton.

“…The lowest plant height (147.93 cm) was recorded in M 4 . These results are agreement with the finding of Kayode and Ademiluyi (2004), who observed the shortest maize plant in the no tillage plots, in comparison with that in the tilled plots on a sandy clay loam alfisol in Southwestern Nigeria. Khurshid et al (2006) also reported taller plants in conventional tillage plots, in comparison with that of the minimum tillage plots.…”

The experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Ishwardi, Pabna, Bangladesh, during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 to introduce maize as relay crop with T. Aman rice under different agronomic practices for determine the production potentials. The experiment was design split plot with three replications. The agronomic management practices included four plant spacing viz. S1=75 cm×20 cm (66666 plants/ha), S2=60 cm×20 cm (83333 plants/ha), S3=50 cm×20 cm (100000 plants/ha) and S4=40 cm×20 cm (125000 plants/ha) and four soil management practices viz. M1=soil mulching at 25 DAE, M2=earthing up at 25 DAE, M3=straw mulching at 25 DAE and M4= without earthing up and mulching (control). Seeds were relayed by dibbling manually in 10 days before the harvest of T. Aman rice. Results showed that an increasing plant spacing increased leaf area Index (LAI), total dry matter (TDM), crop growth rate (CGR) and light energy interception (LEI). Grain yield was higher in S3spacing (8.44 t/ha) than others (S48.11 t/ha, S27.34 t/ha and S16.89 t/ha). Among the soil management practices, M2increased LAI, TDM, CGR, LEI as well as grain yield. Moreover, M2and M1gave similar grain yield (8.22 t/ha and 8.02 t/ha), that were significantly greater than other two soil management practices (M37.55 t/ha and M46.98 t/ha). From the economic point of view, combination of S3M1gave better performance with gross margin of Tk. 95000/ha and BCR of 2.17. On the basis of results, S3M1combination was suitable for growing maize under relay sowing with T. Aman rice.

“…Plant height: These results are similar to that of Aikins et al [34] and Kayode and Ademuluyi, [35] that recorded the shortest maize plant in the No-Tillage (NT) plots; taller plants in conventional tillage (CT) plots Aikins et al [34] and Khurshid et al [36] in comparison with other tilled plots. In contrast Ojeniyi and Adekayode, [37] recorded taller maize in No-tillage (NT) plots when compared with other tilled plots except for that in the ploughing followed by harrowing plus ridging plots on sandy clay loam soil in Nigeria on a tropical alfisol They reported no significant difference in plant height between the indicated treatments.…”

A field trial was conducted in 2017 to investigate the interactive effect of the land preparation methods and different rates of nitrogenous fertilizer on maize performance and yield southwestern Nigeria. The experiment was a 3 by 3 factorial; conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in a split plot management with tillage systems (T): Convectional tillage (CT), Reduced tillage (RT) and No-tillage (NT) as the main plot while nutrient amendments (N) rates (0, 50, and 120 Kg N.Ha-1) as sub-plots factor and all treatments were replicated three times. Growth and yield parameters were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). No tillage had the least plant height, stem diameter and stover weight but had the highest grains yield. Grain yield were not statistically different in all the tillage practices at different N rates applied but 60 kg N ha-1 seems best for maize production in the study area.
