Comparative Potential Effects of Biochar, Compost and Inorganic Fertilizer on Major Nutrient Ions Mobility and Stability in Screen - House Irrigated Maize in the Drier Savannas of Nigeria

Dawaki M. U.^*, Aliyu Abdulqadir, Bassam Abdulrahman Lawal

A screen-house experiment was conducted in the dry season of 2017 to evaluate the potential effect of organic and inorganic soil amendments on the mobility and stability of significant plant nutrient ions. 5 t ha-1 compost or Biochar were applied to pot-grown maize to compare their effect with NPK at the rate of 120: 60: 60 kg ha-1 and a control. S...
