Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Compost plus NPK and Mg produced the highest maize grain yield, 3745 Kg/fed, 13.66 % above NPK control and 25% above compost alone.
- Intervention effect Compost with inorganic fertilizers significantly increased maize plant height, ear characters and grain yield against control and compost alone.
- Intervention effect Compost with inorganic fertilizers enhanced maize grain nutrition and quality relative to control and compost alone.
- Observation Maize grain total soluble sugars ranged from 1.75 to 2.55%.
- Observation Maize grain starch ranged from 61.5 to 72.2%.
- Observation Maize grain total carbohydrate content ranged from 63.25 to 74.55%.
- Recommendation The authors suggest compost plus inorganic fertilizer for better maize growth, yield and quality in sandy loam soils.
