- Intervention effect The 75% recommended NPK plus 30 t sludge per ha treatment gave the highest maize grain yield.
- Intervention effect The 75% recommended NPK plus 30 t sludge per ha treatment gave the highest stover yield.
- Intervention effect The 75% recommended NPK plus 30 t sludge per ha treatment gave the highest grain nutrient contents.
- Intervention effect The 75% recommended NPK plus 30 t sludge per ha treatment gave the highest stover nutrient contents.
- Intervention effect Uptake of N, P, K, Zn and Fe by maize was significantly higher with 75% recommended NPK plus 30 t sludge per ha than with other treatments.
- Intervention effect Treatments receiving sludge significantly improved soil organic carbon, available macro-nutrients and DTPA-extractable micro-nutrients over 100% NPK.
- Intervention effect The 100% recommended NPK plus 15 t sludge per ha treatment was statistically at par with the highest grain yield treatment.
- Intervention effect The 75% recommended NPK plus 15 t sludge per ha treatment was statistically at par with the highest grain yield treatment.
- Intervention effect The 50% recommended NPK plus 30 t sludge per ha treatment was statistically at par with the highest grain yield treatment.
