Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The 50% mineral fertilizer with 100% compost treatment increased maize grain yield by 98% over control in 2017.
- Observation Synergistic interactions between compost and mineral fertilizer were observed in the first 2 years.
- Observation Antagonistic interactions between compost and mineral fertilizer were observed in the third year.
- Observation Three principal components cumulatively explained 86% of the variation among the mechanisms.
- Mechanism Priming effect, balanced nutrient ratio and nutrient synchrony contributed most to the added benefits of the compost and mineral fertilizer combination in maize.
