- Intervention effect Soil organic P was higher in treatments with organic amendments than with nonorganic amendments in maize field trials.
- Intervention effect Availability of soil macro-nutrients was higher in treatments with organic amendments in the first and second field trials.
- Intervention effect Zea mays L. yield was higher in treatments with organic amendments in the first and second field trials.
- Intervention effect Amending chemical fertilisers with organic amendments had a larger residual effect than chemical fertilisers only in maize.
- Recommendation Amending chemical fertilisers with organic amendments can be used to ameliorate P fixation of acid soils and so improve maize production.
