Organic Potassium Nutrition of Maize : Impacts on growth and biomass production

Bok av Kubar Seema
Potassium (K) is an important nutrient for sustainable maize production. However, due to high cost of fertilizer K, farmers seldom use K for maize nutrition which results in big yield gaps. Hence, the exploration of alternate sources of K nutrition of maize is highly crucial for sustainable maize production. This study evaluates the efficacy of a novel organic K fertilizer, developed from fruits and vegetables wastes, in enhancing the growth and biomass production of maize.
