Impact of Nutrient Management on Soil Chemical Properties and Maize (Zea mays L.) Yield

The study in relation to “Impact of nutrient management on soil chemical properties and Maize (Zea mays L.) yield” was conducted during the year 2021-22 at Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh. Application of optimal doses of inorganic and organic fertilizers to maize at 5 t FYM ha-1 yearly containing 126:58:45 NPK kg ha-1 and 17 kg Zn ha-1 with highest maize yield of 65.00 q ha-1 as compared to the farmers lower yield of 47 q ha-1 without the optimum dose of inorganic and organic fertilizers to maize. Soils of the study area were acidic to neutral in soil reaction, non-saline and non-calcareous in nature, low in organic carbon in both surface and sub-surface layers.
