Data in brief on inter-row rainwater harvest and fertilizer application on yield of maize and pigeon-pea cropping systems in sub humid tropics
Soil moisture management and fertilizer micro-dosing on yield and land utilization efficiency of inter-cropping maize-pigeon-pea in sub humid Tanzania [1].Farmers typically grow pigeon-pea as a mixed cropping system, the advances of these systems have been well studied, for example: increased produc...
