Datasets for the article "Response of Zea Mays L. and soil moisture to different tillage methods and soil inputs in the sub-humid tropics"
Description
The datasets are from two on-station field experimental sites in Kenya and conducted for four cropping seasons. The data sets include rainfall amounts in each season and within the season, relative chlorophyll content, plant height during the 6th & 10th leaf stages, grain and stover yields of maize (Zea Mays L.), and soil moisture content during the vegetative, grain and formation phenology stages. The datasets are supplementary to the research article Kiboi et al. (2019) (M.N. Kiboi, K.F. Ngetich, A. Fliessbach, A. Muriuki, D.N. Mugendi. Soil fertility inputs and tillage influence on maize crop performance and soil water content in the Central Highlands of Kenya. Agric. Water Manag. 217 (2019) 316–331 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agwat.2019.03.014).
