Replication Data for: Expanded Step Trial, 2014-2018

Description The datasheet describes a multi-location trial in 4 countries which test the effect of different CA on maize and legume grain yield. Objectives: - To evaluate the effects of the various components of CA systems on crop productivity and the interactions between these components. - To stimulate the adaptation of CA related technologies to farmers’ possibilities and priorities, and through this to stimulate farmer experimentation wit CA.
