Abstract
85 words
The study assessed the agronomic effectiveness of fertilizer
use recommendations in western Kenya on maize yields. The
treatments included: FURP – 75kg N/ha CAN and 26kgP/ha
DAP; 2) FURP – 75kg N/ha CAN and 26kgP/ha DAP plus
lime (2t/ha); 3) FURP – 75kg N/ha CAN and 26kgP/ha Minjingu
phosphate rock; and 4) Rutuba bio Agricultural organic manure
at 125kg/ha and DAP at 13 kg P /ha. Inclusion of agricultural
lime and manure in combination with mineral fertilizers
significantly increased yields in this rather acidic environment.
