Broad bed and furrow significantly increased the grain yield of lentils by 59% (from 1029 to 1632 kg ha−1) as compared to the control.
Moreover, trials towards the development of appropriate farm implements for Vertisols management, i.e. the broad bed maker (BBM) were also surveyed.
Based on the agronomic and economic performances best combinations of crop and land preparation method were: lentil sown on broad bed and furrow, and wheat and tef sown after reduced tillage.
Four methods of land preparation (broad bed and furrow, green manure, ridge and furrow and reduced tillage) were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications on permanent plots of 22 m by 6 m.
The treatments were: (i) farmers' practice (FP) (flat bed – residue removal, 3 4 times ploughing); (ii) broad bed and furrow (BBF) with in situ residue incorporation; (iii) BBF with in situ residue + hedge leaves {white hoary pea, Tephrosia candida (Roxb).
Results showed that the plots under permanent broad bed with residue (PBB + R) and without residue (PBB) resulted in ∼29 and ∼26% higher maize grain yield, respectively than conventional tillage (CT) (2.6 t ha−1), but wheat grain yields were comparable in all the treatments in first year.

Air New Zealand has been especially innovative, and in recent years has introduced two distinctive seat types: the Skycouch, which is formed by turning three adjacent economy seats into a broad mini-bed, and the Spaceseat, which the company classifies as "premium economy" but on some airlines might pass for business class.
