Understanding nutrient imbalances in maize (Zea maysL.) using the diagnosis and recommendation integrated system (DRIS) approach in the Maize belt of Nigeria
Low nutrient use efficiency in maize as a result of imbalanced nutrition has been reported to drastically reduce yield. We implemented a nutrient omission experiment to assess the effect of nutrient application on maize yield and nutritional balance. Maize ear leaves were analyzed for nutrients, to…
