description This study investigated the effect of two tillage practices on maize yield and growth, and selected soil properties of an Ultisol of Osun State in Nigeria. This was aimed at selecting an appropriate tillage practice for crop growth and soil maintenance. The study was divided into two experimental plots during the early and late cropping season in 2014. The first plot was manually cleared to have zero tillage while the second plot was plowed twice and harrowed once for conventional tillage. Each plot had three blocks (23.0 m x 2.5 m) with an alley of 1.0 m between blocks and 1.0 m within plots. Three seeds of the test crop were a distance of 75 cm x 50 cm per hill and each plot weeded manually at two weeks intervals till harvest. The selected soil physical and chemical properties and plant growth parameters were collected and determined using standard method after each cropping season. At the end of the experiment zero tillage, had the highest plant height and soil values compared to conventional tillage. Zero tillage also had higher soil chemical values when compared to conventional tillage. The grain yield showed a significant difference between the tillage practices. Zero tillage had a higher yield (1.71 t/ha) when compared with conventional tillage (0.97 t/ha). The study concluded that zero tillage was a better alternative for crop growth and soil maintenance of an Ultisol.

Esto tuvo como objetivo seleccionar una práctica de labranza adecuada para el crecimiento de los cultivos y el mantenimiento del suelo. El estudio se dividió en dos parcelas experimentales durante la temporada de cultivo temprana y tardía en 2014. La primera parcela se desbrozó manualmente para tener labranza cero, mientras que la segunda parcela se aró dos veces y se rastrilló una vez para labranza convencional. Cada parcela tenía tres bloques (23.0 m x 2.5 m) con un callejón de 1.0 m entre bloques y 1.0 m dentro de las parcelas. Tres semillas del cultivo de prueba se colocaron a una distancia de 75 cm x 50 cm por montículo y cada parcela se desyerbó manualmente a intervalos de dos semanas hasta la cosecha. Las propiedades físicas y químicas del suelo seleccionadas y los parámetros de crecimiento de las plantas se recolectaron y determinaron utilizando el método estándar después de cada temporada de cultivo. Al final del experimento, tuvo los valores más altos de altura de planta y suelo en comparación con la labranza convencional. La labranza cero también tuvo valores químicos del suelo más altos en comparación con la labranza convencional. El rendimiento de grano mostró una diferencia significativa entre las prácticas de labranza. La labranza cero tuvo un mayor rendimiento (1.71 t/ha) en comparación con la labranza convencional (0.97 t/ha). El estudio concluyó que la labranza cero era una mejor alternativa para el crecimiento de los cultivos y el mantenimiento del suelo de un Ultisol.Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina2022-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.lamolina.edu.pe/index.php/jpagronomy/article/view/193310.21704/pja.v6i2.1933Peruvian Journal of Agronomy; Vol. 6 No. 2 (2022): May to August; 123-131Peruvian Journal of Agronomy; Vol. 6 Núm. 2 (2022): May to August; 123-1312616-4477reponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molinainstname:Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molinainstacron:UNALMenghttps://revistas.lamolina.edu.pe/index.php/jpagronomy/article/view/1933/2452Derechos de autor 2022 Oluwatosin Komolafehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.lamolina.edu.pe:article/19332023-01-03T19:10:02Z
