Abstract
The only physical property of Coto clay found to be affected by the tillage method was soil resistance, which was greater for the no-till than for the other tillage treatments. The upper 10 cm were the most affected. Tillage methods did not affect plantain yields; thus, minimum tillage can be recommended for this crop. On the other hand, significantly higher sweet potato yields were obtained when the soil was plowed and disced twice.Downloads
