Effect of lime, phosphorus and boron on yield and chemical composition of maize (Zea mays L.) and properties of acid soil of nagaland

A pot experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2016-17 and 2017-18 in completely randomized design with two lime levels (0 and ¼ lime of LR), four phosphorus levels (0, 13.4, 26.8 and 40.2 mg P2O5 kg-1 ) and three boron levels (0, 0.45 and 0.90 mg B kg-1 ) to study the treatment effect on nutrient content and uptake of maize and soil properties. It was observed that lime had a significant effect on biomass yield, nutrient content and uptake of maize.
