“…Significant and higher plant dry weight was observed with the application of nitrogen (150 kg/ha) might be due to its function in determining how efficiently sunlight is used by increasing biomass and any nitrogen deficiency lowers the photosynthetic capacity or efficiency of sunlight utilization. The present findings are within the close proximity of Shalini (2017) [17] . Further, higher plant dry weight was recorded with application of Seaweed may be due to Auxins are substances that effectively contribute to cell division and growth.…”

and Technology. To determine "Effect of nitrogen and seaweed extract (k-sap) on growth and yield of Maize". The treatment consisted of three levels of nitrogen (90,120,150 kg/ha) respectively and three levels of seaweed extract (5%, 10%, 15%). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments and replicated thrice. The result revealed that application of (nitrogen 150 kg/ha + seaweed extract 15%) (treatment 9) recorded significantly higher plant height (181.40 cm), higher plant dry weight (102.17 g), maximum number of cobs/plant (2.00), maximum number of grains/cob (245.37), Number of rows/cob (15.40), higher cob length (20.26 cm), higher grain yield (2.83 t/ha) and higher stover yield (6.63 t/ha). Highest gross return (79,900.00 INR/ha), net return (51,237.30 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (1.79) was recorded in treatment 9 (nitrogen150 kg/ha + seaweed extract 15%) was found to be productive as well as economically feasible.

“…Mthambala et al ( 2022) observed that P is used for grain filling which affected maize yield in their study. Additionally, a study conducted by Kumari (2017), found that the application of N and P fertilizers significantly increased the biomass of harvested plants. Similarly, researchers conducting related studies on maize have also discovered that increased levels of N, P, K, and Zn result in higher grain yield, plant biomass, and seed weight (Bashan et al, 2013;Mwafulirwa, 2023).…”

Malawi's economy predominantly relies on agriculture. However, continuous soil degradation threatens crop production, food security, and nutrition. The use of fertilizers in soil fertility amendment has not been as effective due to blanket application, which does not adequately address Malawi's diverse soil nutrient deficiencies. This can also lead to over-fertilization, which can generate greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change. The experiment, set up in a randomized complete block design, compared site-specific and blanket fertilizer applications having 5 treatments and 5 replications, where a single maize seed variety was planted uniformly. Data was collected from the site's soil physicochemical properties, maize growth, and yield components and analyzed using JMP SAS software version 14.0.0. Results indicated that site-specific fertilizer application significantly differed from blanket fertilizer application at a 5% level of significance. Phosphorus (0.31 ppm), Sulphur (24.2 ppm), and Zinc (1.92 ppm) were significantly higher due to site-specific fertilizer application. Similarly, plant biomass (3.41 t/ha) and grain yield (7.03 t/ha) were also significantly higher due to site-specific fertilizer application. Hence, the study concluded that site-specific soil fertility management is ideal for efficient nutrient replenishment and attaining optimum yields while mitigating climate change in maize farming systems

“…Ten plants (the mature leaves) in the middle quadrant of the plant were used to measure the leaf area according to the method of [20] using the following formula: LA = L ² × K where L = Length of leaf, K = constant ≈ 0.75.…”

“…The biomass was improved by adding of poultry manure (domestic) and recommended chemical fertilizer [9]. According to [20] The dry matter yield may be lower with no NPK fertilizer because these nutrients are building blocks for the dry matter to accumulate in corn plants. The increase of chlorophyll content in leaves indicated the inorganic fertilizer (NPK) can be absorbed by plant roots to use for more chlorophyll synthesis to harvest more light energy that enhanced photosynthesis and developed sweet corn growth.…”

This study was conducted in the Agriculture research station of Chamchamal in Sulymaniyah / Iraq, on 3rd July 2022. Was designed using a completely randomized block design (CRBD) 4*4 with three replications. The arrangement of treatment is as follows, the first treatment was chemical fertilizer (NPK) consisting of four levels (0, 50, 75and 100) % of recommended application dose. The second treatment of two types of poultry manure (0, 4ton ha−1 domestic, 4ton ha−1 imported, and 2ton ha−1 from domestic and imported), results obtained from this study can conclude as follows. All parameters (Plant height, Number of leaves, Leaf area, Stem diameter, Biomass, and Chlorophyll content in heaves) significantly differ is by levels of chemical and organic fertilizers compared with control, the combination between 50% of recommended chemical fertilizer and 2 ton ha−1 of both organic fertilizer gave the highest value for all parameters.
