- Intervention effect Silking took 109 days with 5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg ha-1 chemical P with lime.
- Intervention effect Plant height reached 3.48 m with 5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg ha-1 chemical P with lime.
- Intervention effect Cob length reached 47.83 cm with 5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg ha-1 chemical P with lime.
- Intervention effect Number of grains per cob reached 644 with 5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg ha-1 chemical P with lime.
- Intervention effect Above ground dry biomass yield reached 22 t ha-1 with 5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg ha-1 chemical P with lime.
- Intervention effect The highest 1000-seed weight (508 g) was obtained with 2.5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg P ha-1 with lime.
- Intervention effect Grain yield reached 4.87 t ha-1 with 2.5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg P ha-1 with lime.
- Intervention effect Harvest index reached 24% with 2.5 t ha-1 VC and 40 kg P ha-1 with lime.
- Intervention effect Integrated application of organic and chemical fertilizers with lime amended acidic soils, improved fertility and increased crop yields.
- Recommendation Combined use of VC at 2.5 t ha-1, chemical P at 20 kg ha-1 and lime at 4 t ha-1 is economically optimum and recommended for maize on strongly acidic soils.
