Datasets for the article "Response of Zea Mays L. and soil moisture to different tillage methods and soil inputs in the sub-humid tropics"

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).本数据集源自肯尼亚的两个田间定位试验站点，试验覆盖四个种植季。数据集包含各种植季降雨量及季内降雨量、相对叶绿素含量、第6叶期与第10叶期的株高、玉米（Zea mays L.）的籽粒产量与秸秆产量，以及营养生长期、籽粒发育期及形成期的土壤含水量。本数据集为Kiboi等人2019年发表的研究论文（M.N. Kiboi、K.F. Ngetich、A. Fliessbach、A. Muriuki、D.N. Mugendi. 土壤肥力投入与耕作方式对肯尼亚中部高地玉米生长表现及土壤含水量的影响. 《Agric. Water Manag.》, 2019, 217: 316–331. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agwat.2019.03.014）的补充数据集。
