Effect of Integrated Use of Lime AND Manure Fertilizer Rates on Soil Physicochemical Properties, Yield AND Yield Components of Maize(Zea mays l.) In Acidic Soil AT Meket District, Northwollo Ethiopia

Soil fertility problem is the limiting factor for agricultural productivity in the mid and highlands of Ethiopia. High soil acidity coupled with soil nutrient depletion negatively affect the performance and yield of maize in the Amhara region. This study was therefore carried out at Meket District in one cropping season to determine the effect of integrated use of lime and manure fertilizer rates on soil physicochemical properties, yield and, yield components of Maize.
