Effect of feather meal on yield and chemical composition of maize

The results of the present investigation clearly highlighted the fact that the application of feather powder and digested feather meal with 100% RDN were found the best because of their higher nitrogen content as well as lower C : N ratio. Among all the treatments feather powder and digested feather meal with 100% RDN (120 kg ha-1) increased yield, improved nutrient composition of maize plants as well as soil properties.
