e7“it is increased both sorghum grain and stover yield by 20.9% and 17.3%, respectively, at 10 t/ha rate and by 13.5% and 10.9%, respectively, at the rate of 5 t/ha”
e1“The results showed the application of groundnut shells significantly decreased the values of soil bulk density and increased soil water storage compared to non-application (0 t/ha)”
