Abstract Maize phenological and vegetative growth in the Nitisols of Burie District is hindered by issues such as high soil compaction (bulk density > 1.40 g cm−3), low total soil porosity (<50%), low total nitrogen (2.5 g kg−1), low organic carbon (2.11%), strong acidity (pH 4.94), and very low available phosphorus (11.69 mg kg−1).
