Data on the response of Zea Mays L. and soil moisture content to tillage and soil amendments in the sub-humid tropics.

ABSTRACT: The datasets presented were collected from Chuka and Kandara on-station trials sites in Kenya, conducted for two consecutive years. The main aim of the data collection was to evaluate the soil amendments and tillage influence on Zea Mays L. (maize) crop performance and soil moisture content, as reported by Kiboi et al. [1]. Rainfall data were collected using a manual rain gauge installed within the trial site. A non-destructive sampling of four maize plants next to each other on the centre row in each plot was conducted at the 6^th and 10^th leaf phase to determine crop growth dynamics. Maize grain and stover were harvested at maturity from net plots of 21 m² in Chuka and 15 m² in Kandara. The net plot was derived by excluding the first, the
