Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Azotobacter inoculation increased maize plant height and leaf area at 30 DAS.
- Intervention effect Later vegetative and reproductive traits did not differ significantly among treatments.
- Intervention effect Azotobacter plus 60 kg N from urea yielded significantly larger cobs and higher grain number.
- Intervention effect Azotobacter plus 60 kg N from urea produced maximum thousand grain weight, dry matter, and biomass.
- Intervention effect Azotobacter plus 60 kg N from urea produced over 3 t/ha grain yield, similar to the 120 kg N treatment.
- Recommendation The authors propose Azotobacter as a partial substitute for nitrogen fertilizer.
