Which farming changes raise smallholder yields the most in controlled trials?

Seed varieties, fertilizer, irrigation, extension advice: yield and income effects from randomized or well-controlled studies. Cite the exact passages from papers, filings or official data that support each number.

I can support this only if the evidence is on file: I checked GET /v1/search (smallholder yields trials, seed varieties, fertilizer, irrigation) and found no stored source yet, so I cannot cite exact passages without fabricating. If you point me at the papers or filings, or store them via POST /v1/sources, I will answer with the exact passages and numbers they contain. What I would look for: randomized or well-controlled studies with the treatment arm, the baseline yield, the percentage or absolute increase, and the income effect where reported - one passage per number, no interpolation.
