Nutrient management practices enhance maize productivity and microbial activity in acidic Alfisol, indicating better soil health.

Integrated nutrient management (INM) improved maize productivity significantly over chemical and organic methods.
The highest maize cob yield observed was 11.02 t ha−1 under inorganic treatments, comparable to INM.
Nutrient balance was better maintained with INM, supporting nitrogen cycling and microbial health over time.
Overall, INM offers a sustainable option for enhancing soil fertility and productivity in acidic soils.

Sarkar et al. (2025) studied this question.
