Maize and sorghum were grown on black clay soils in the rainy seasons of 1976 and 1977, on ridges or flat beds superimposed on slopes of 1.2, 0.6 or 0.3%. When grown on ridges maize yielded 14-106% and sorghum 6-54% on flat beds, because of better soil aeration. Generally ridging became less effective as the slope increased, but the result varied with the rainfall during the growing season. Ridging also improved seedling emergence and plant fresh wt
