The experiment was carried out to determine the performance of two early maize varieties as influenced by different tillage methods at the Agronomy Section of the Kabba College of Agriculture, Kogi State in the Southern Guinea Savannah of Nigeria. Two factors were considered: factor “A” treatment consist of two maize varieties namely TZE Y POP STR 41 cultivar and Sammaz 15 cultivar, while factor “B” consist of three different tillage preparation methods as namely Mechanical, Manual and No-till methods. The treatments were replicated three times. Data were collected on the basis of agronomic traits such as plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, stem girth, cob length, cob weight, yield per plant, yield per plot, and yield per hectare. The result obtained from the study indicated that cultivar Sammaz 15 performed better than TZE Y POP DT STR 41 cultivar in both growth and yield characters, while the mechanical tillage plots recorded better growth and yield of maize than either manual or no-till plots.
