Other claims from this paper (16)
- Observation The experimental soil was classified as Typic Torriorthents, loamy skeletal, mixed, thermic.
- Observation Wetness, soil texture and salinity/alkalinity were moderate limitations for soil productivity (65-75%).
- Observation CaCO3 and gypsum were slight limitations for soil productivity (90-85%).
- Observation Irrigated agricultural land under current conditions is marginally suitable (S3ws1n).
- Observation Irrigated agricultural land under potential conditions is moderately suitable (S2s1).
- Observation Soil suitability for cultivating maize is marginal (S3s1n) under current conditions, limited by soil texture and salinity/alkalinity.
- Observation Soil suitability for cultivating maize is moderately suitable (S2s1) under potential conditions, with soil texture still limiting.
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulfate gave higher growth characters in maize than urea at the applied rates.
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulfate gave higher ear characters in maize than urea at the applied rates.
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulfate gave higher biological yield in maize than urea at the applied rates.
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulfate gave higher grain quality in maize than urea at the applied rates.
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulfate gave higher grain nutritional status in maize than urea at the applied rates.
- Intervention effect The liquid mixture of 0.5 g ZnSO4 in compost tea surpassed the other two applied mixtures for maize plant parameters.
- Mechanism Ammonium sulfate is expected to enhance soil availability of plant nutrients through its cationic and anionic forms.
- Intervention effect Soaking water extract of compost tea and K-humate reduced the uptake of some toxic elements in maize.
- Intervention effect Soaking water extract of compost tea and K-humate enhanced nutrient uptake in maize.
