Replication data for: Zero Tillage adoption and its welfare impacts at the fa... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaThe purpose of the study was (1) to assess the performance of ZT wheat as compared to conventional-tillage wheat in farmers' fields in six CSISA target districts in Bihar; (2) to assess farmers’ resource endowment, risk exposure, risk preferences, and risk management practices; (3) based on (2), to identify influencing factors of farmers' awareness and...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
Replication data for: Zero-Tillage Service Provision as a Business Opportunity N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaThe purpose of the study was (1) to assess the economic viability of custom-hire service for ZT in CSISA's target districts in Bihar, the development of ZT service provision businesses over time, and constraints to further business expansion; (2) to assess service providers’ resource endowment, risk exposure, risk preferences, and risk management...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -

CIMMYT EthiopiaThe present data is from a long-term trial set at Msekera Research Station in Zambia to monitor and evaluate the the longer term effects of conservation agriculture practices on soil quality, soil water dynamics, weeds, pests/diseases and crop yield. The treatments set to investigate this are: T1: Control plot 1 (CPM1); traditional farmers practice...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 -
Complementary practices supporting conservation agriculture in southern Afric... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaConservation agriculture (CA)—the simultaneous application of minimum soil disturbance, crop residue retention, and crop diversification—is a key approach to address declining soil fertility and the adverse effects of climate change in southern Africa. Applying the three defining principles of CA alone, however, is often not enough, and complementary...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 -
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 -
Six years of data on genotype by tillage interaction and performance progress... N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
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 -
Parallel selection of durum wheat in conventional and zero tillage N3 | TTL | RDF/XML | JSON-LD
CIMMYT EthiopiaCIMMYT’s durum wheat breeding program performed parallel selection in conventional tilled (CT) and zero tillage (ZT) soils with the aim to compare the effect of selection under either CT or ZT on the performance of selected progenies. From 16 initial crosses, 234 lines were selected under CT and 250 under ZT. All 484 lines were subsequently tested for...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -

CIMMYT EthiopiaWhile there existed some empirical evidence of the incidence of zero-tillage (ZT) adoption in wheat – rice farming systems in Punjab, in 2013 no such assessment existed for Bihar, one of the major focal points of CSISA activities in the second phase. In Bihar, a relatively extensive network of ZT service providers exists, and the technology is probably...Created January 20, 2025 • Updated January 20, 2025 -
