Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation decreased maize grain yield and leaf area index.
- Intervention effect Azotobacter increased maize yield and leaf traits under normal and deficit irrigation.
- Intervention effect Vermicompost increased maize yield and leaf traits under normal and deficit irrigation.
- Observation Using 6 ton/ha vermicompost and Azotobacter supplied 50% of maize fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Combined biofertilizers and chemical fertilizers increased maize yield and other traits.
- Intervention effect Vermicompost plus chemical fertilizer performed better than chemical fertilizer alone, including its full recommended rate.
- Recommendation The authors recommend organic sources with 50% recommended NPK fertilizer for sustainable maize production under normal and deficit irrigation.
