Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Prior plantain duration and manure placement significantly influenced nutrient leftover and maize growth parameters.
- Observation Acid-tolerant maize generally performed better than the non-tolerant variety.
- Intervention effect Top-dressed substrate cropped for three months gave maize the highest LAI of 0.56 at 3 WAP.
- Intervention effect The same substrate gave the highest maize total dry weight of 2.39g at 3 WAP.
- Intervention effect At 6 and 9 WAP, split-placement substrates supported the highest maize LAI and dry matter yield.
- Observation T3 substrates retained the highest residual nutrients and pH 6.6.
- Intervention effect Maize grew better in substrate previously cropped for three rather than five months.
- Intervention effect Maize performance in manured uncropped soil was not better than other manured substrates.
- Association Residual K had the strongest correlation with maize LAI and total dry weight.
- Recommendation The authors recommended split top-dressing and base placement of poultry manure in plantain fields for steadier nutrient availability.
