Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Maize yield varied significantly among landscape positions.
- Association Soil fertility and yield showed increasing trends from the hillslope to the foot slope position.
- Observation The highest maize grain yield, 6.18 t ha −1, was recorded at the foot slope (FS) position.
- Association Grain yield at the FS position was 14% higher than at the MS position.
- Association Grain yield at the FS position was 16% higher than at the HS position.
- Intervention effect Applying all nutrients in blended form gave the highest grain yield, 6.52 t ha −1.
- Intervention effect The grain yield with all nutrients in blended form was not significantly different from yields of compound and individual fertilizer forms.
- Intervention effect Applying all nutrients in blended form increased grain yield by 7.4% compared with the NP-only treatment.
- Intervention effect Applying all nutrients in blended form increased grain yield by 264.2% compared with the control without any nutrient.
- Intervention effect The effects of K, S, Zn and B on maize yield were not significant.
- Observation N and P are the most yield-limiting nutrients for maize production.
- Recommendation Site-specific NP fertilizer recommendations targeting landscape position are required to enhance nutrient use efficiency and sustainably intensify maize yield.
