Alternative Starter Fertilization Strategies in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Cultivation: Agronomic Potential of Microgranular Fertilizer and Plant Growth-Promoting Microorganisms and Their Impact on the Soil Native Microbial Community

Alternative Starter Fertilization Strategies in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Cultivation: Agronomic Potential of Microgranular Fertilizer and Plant Growth-Promoting Microorganisms and Their Impact on the Soil Native Microbial Community

Phosphorous (P) starter fertilization can increase maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) yield. Widespread application in soils with sufficient P availability leads to environmental risks. Subsequently, alternative strategies to support the maize plant’s early development are needed to lower P surp...
