Alternative technologies to increase grain maize production under rainfed systems are urgently needed, considering the low grain yield in small-scale farming in countries such as Mozambique. Supplemental irrigation, fertiliser application and tillage methods are valuable available farming technologies. This thesis examined the impact of supplemental irrigation, fertiliser application and three tillage methods (hand hoeing, strip tillage, disc tillage) on maize grain yield. Studies on belowground biomass showed that most roots were concentrated in the upper 20 cm of the soil. Root abundance decreased down the soil profile, which can be genetically derived but also attributable to higher penetration resistance at greater depth. Tillage had a ...
