Optimising Fodder Maize Productivity across Soil Fertility Gradients: A Critical Review of Soil Test Crop Response Strategies for Sustainable Nutrient Management
Fodder maize (Zea mays L.) is a high-biomass, nutrient-responsive forage whose economic value depends on both harvested mass and nutritive quality. Fertiliser recommendations based on regional averages can therefore be inefficient when fields differ markedly in native nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium supply, organic...
