Abstract:Field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of residue and tillage on growth and yield of melon. Tillage treatments included conventional tillage (using a moldboard plough and two passes with a disk harrow), minimum tillage (one pass with a disk harrow), and no tillage (NT). Residue treatments included the application of 0%, 30% and 60% residue. Yield and yield components were obtained for all treatments. Tillage significantly affected yield and its components (P ≤ 0.05). The maximum FWPP (2.67… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
