Field experiments were conducted with IITA maize (Zea mays L.) composite B at six locations ranging from forest to savannah in the Western State of Nigeria to assess the level of zinc response on sandy Inceptisols. Zinc, as Na2 Zn EDTA, was applied as broadcast application at 0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, an...

The low fertility level of some soils of the Western Highlands of Cameroon prompted a study of the response of maize (Zea mays L.) and some major soil chemical properties to liming. The first manufactured local lime “Agri 56” was tested along with 3 imported types (calcitic, slaked, and dolomitic...
Le faible niveau de fertilite des sols des Hauts Plateaux de l'Ouest a suscit6 une etude des r6ponses au chaulagedu mais (Zea mays) et des proprietes chimiques du sol. La chaux produite localement, "Agri 56," a ete testee comparativement a trois types importes (dolomite, chaux vive et carbonate d...

A field trial was conducted on two P sorptive, basaltic soils commonly used for maize production in Northwestern Cameroon. The objective was to determine the maintenance P rates required for adequate P supply in the soils for maize after initial capital dressing applications of P (0, 22, 44, 88 a...
