Natural-Farmed Maize Out-Yielded Chemical, 4.8 vs 4.1 t/ha
A one-season maize trial at Konkuk's Paju research centre compared natural farming, organic and conventional (chemical) systems side by side. The natural plots had the longest, heaviest ears and the highest yield: 4.8 t/ha dry grain against 4.3 for organic and 4.1 for conventional. After a one-week drought just after germination, 20 of 84 conventional seedlings wilted, against 4 natural and 3 organic.
Found Dry grain yield 4.8 t/ha natural vs 4.3 organic and 4.1 conventional
