Analyzing soil-available phosphorus by the Mehlich-3 extraction method to recommend a phosphorus fertilizer application rate for maize production in northern Mozambique

Analyzing soil-available phosphorus by the Mehlich-3 extraction method to recommend a phosphorus fertilizer application rate for maize production in northern Mozambique

The available phosphorus (P) in soil is a major limiting factor for maize productivity in the Nacala corridor, Mozambique. In this study, soils were collected from three representative sites, Ribaue, Nampula, and Nacala, in the area, and each was used for maize pot experiment with five P fertilizer...
