Impact of soil amendments and fertilizers on maize (Zea mays L.) growth and yield and on physical, chemical, and biological soil properties

The impact of seven treatments; control (no lime and fertilizer), Ultragreen, Calcium carbonate powder (CaCO3), Ultragreen + NPK (15-15-15), CaCO3 + NPK, Ultragreen + Chemical and granular organic fertilizer with hormone mixed formula (HO) and CaCO3 + HO were investigated on the physicochemical an...
