Overview

Randomized trial evaluates lime and phosphorus effects on maize yield in acidic soils, suggesting sustainable management strategies.

Key Points

  • This study examines how lime and phosphorus fertilization affects maize growth, yield, and soil nutrient availability in acidic upland soils.
  • Conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications.
  • Tested three levels of dololime (0, 1, and 2 t ha⁻¹) and four levels of phosphorus fertilizer (0, 100, 150, and 200% of recommended dose).
  • The findings were evaluated under controlled conditions at Bangladesh Agricultural University.
  • Application of 2 t ha⁻¹ dololime and 200% recommended P significantly increased grain yield and nutrient uptake.
  • Highest observed cob length, diameter, and weight metrics corresponded to combined lime and P treatments.
  • Strong positive correlations were noted between maize yield and nutrient concentrations in grain and stover.
