- Intervention effect Integrated amendments and micronutrients significantly improved maize growth and yield attributes across years.
- Intervention effect Agricultural lime at 1.5 t ha-1 gave the tallest plants, followed by wood ash and control.
- Intervention effect Soil-applied micronutrients gave taller plants than foliar application at 30 DAS.
- Intervention effect Foliar sprays gave the tallest plants at 60, 90 and 120 DAS.
- Intervention effect Integrated amendments and micronutrients significantly improved cobs per plant and grains per cob.
- Intervention effect Micronutrient treatments significantly affected rows per cob and seed index.
- Intervention effect Integrated lime or wood ash with soil and foliar Zn and B significantly enhanced physiological growth.
- Intervention effect Lime consistently outperformed wood ash.
