Paper Summary

The study looked at how different types of fertilizers affect the yield and soil fertility in maize-wheat crops. They found that using N120SSP30VAM and N120RP30PSB fertilizers resulted in higher grain yields. The maize-wheat crop rotation also improved the soil's organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus levels.
