The study looked at different ways to manage nutrients for growing maize to get the best yield and profit. They found that using a specific nutrient management approach called SSNM led to higher grain and stover yields, more grains per cob, and taller plants compared to other methods. This approach also resulted in the highest net returns per hectare. Overall, applying nutrients at the right time and in the right amounts can help farmers grow more maize and make more money.
