Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Humic-based products increased maize plant height to 132.42–267.7 cm versus 109 cm in controls.
- Intervention effect Humic-based products increased maize stem girth to 0.96–1.42 cm versus 0.92 cm in controls.
- Intervention effect Humic-based products increased maize fresh biomass to 108.98–346.92 g versus 98.12 g in controls.
- Intervention effect Humic-based products increased maize dry biomass to 26.2–65.6 g versus 21.34 g in controls.
- Intervention effect Humic-based products increased maize grain weight to 53.5–166.8 g versus 43.2 g in controls.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen content increased from 0.52 to 1.94 g 100g -1 under the treatments.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus content rose from 0.20 to 0.58 g 100g -1 under the treatments.
- Intervention effect Potassium content rose from 1.68 to 2.60 g 100g -1 under the treatments.
- Intervention effect Humic-based products increased postharvest soil nutrient content relative to control.
- Recommendation The authors conclude the products could save 25% of recommended fertilizer use while improving maize growth and soil quality.
