Experiments on frost damage in barley under conservation agriculture N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaThe data were collected for the publication: "Does leaving crop residues in the field lead to greater frost damage in wheat and barley under conservation agriculture?" The dataset contains data from three experiments conducted to evaluate if leaving more residue in the field is associated with higher levels of frost damage. Farmers in the Bajio had...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Toward greater sustainability: how investing in soil health may enhance maize... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaClimate change and soil fertility decline are major threats to smallholder farmers' food and nutrition security in southern Africa, and cropping systems that improve soil health are needed to address these challenges. Cropping systems that invest in soil organic matter, such as no-tillage (NT) with crop residue retention, have been proposed as potential...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -

CIMMYT EthiopiaGrain yield data collected from Conservation Agriculture (CA) systems across experiments of varying experimental duration, established in trial locations of Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe under an increasingly variable climate. Data contains different agro-environmental yield response moderators such as type of crop diversifcation and amount of...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Conservation agriculture practices lead to diverse weed communities and highe... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaWeed development is one of the major constraints to cereal cropping systems in Southern Africa with potential severe crop losses. Understanding weed community responses to different conservation agriculture (CA) components (i.e., no-tillage, NT; crop rotation, R; and mulching, M) and/or their combinations is crucial in Southern Africa where farmers apply...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Nine years of data on genotype by tillage interaction and performance progres... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaAdoption of agronomic practices based on zero tillage and residue retention is increasing, due to their potential for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Genotype by tillage interactions for yield are not well understood. Fourteen CIMMYT bread (Triticum aestivum) and durum (Triticum turgidum) wheat genotypes, created between 1964 and 2011, were...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Yield of maize, wheat and barley planted on wide and narrow permanent beds, u... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaWe investigated the effect of bed width on grain yield under irrigated and rainfed conditions, for crops grown on permanent beds, where the top of the raised beds is not tilled. The study included nine sites in Central Mexico, where wide and narrow permanent beds were compared at the same site for at least three consecutive crop cycles. Six trials were...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Durum wheat performance (10 years of data) and grain quality (three years of ... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaThe experiment was initiated in 2008 and concluded in 2018 to evaluate the performance of durum wheat (Triticum durum L.) under conventionally tilled (CTB) and permanent beds (PB) under two sowing irrigation practices and five nitrogen (N) fertilization treatments in northwestern Mexico. It was located at the Norman E. Borlaug Experiment Station (CENEB)...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Water use and grain yield with conservation agriculture and conventional till... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaThe database contains data about water use in barley (Hordeum vulgare) and maize (Zea Mays) production in the Mexican Bajío. Water use and grain yield were evaluated under conventional tillage and under conservation agriculture in permanent raised beds, both under furrow irrigation and under drip irrigation. The data in this study were collected between...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Weed management by tillage by site interaction experiment in Oaxaca, Mexico N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaThe experiment was conducted in 2016 and 2017 in three regions in Oaxaca, Mexico. The design of the study was to evaluate fifteen combinations of tillage and weed management practices at each of the three sites, with each trial consisting of three blocks with a different type of tillage: zero tillage (ZT), minimum tillage (MT) and conventional tillage...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -

CIMMYT EthiopiaWe examined soil organic matter (OM) dynamics in a wheat (Triticum durum L.) – maize (Zea mays L.) irrigated bed planting system established in 1992 at the Campo Experimental Norman E. Borlaug (CENEB) near Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, Mexico (27°33’N, 109°09’W; elevation 38 m). The location has an arid subtropical climate with a mean annual temperature of 23.7...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Soil health data of 20 maize-based conservation agriculture experiments in Me... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaConservation agriculture (CA) is based on minimal tillage, permanent soil cover and crop diversification. The data in this study were collected in a field trial network established to adapt CA to Mexico’s diverse cropping systems and local conditions. Soil health was studied in 20 trials with maize (Zea mays L.) in acro-ecologies ranging from handplanted...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -

CIMMYT EthiopiaAgronomic systems based on zero tillage and residue retention are becoming more important due to their potential for climate change adaptation through the reduction of soil erosion and improved water availability. Genotype by tillage interactions for yield are not well understood and it is unknown whether tillage should be an evaluation factor in breeding...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -

CIMMYT EthiopiaAn experiment initiated in 1996 in the highlands of the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, evaluated different tillage methods and levels of soil cover under permanent raised beds for their effects on yield, profitability, and soil quality in an irrigated, summer maize- winter oats rotation. The experiment was located at the Experimental Station “San...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
