Effects of weather scenarios and fertilizer on maize growth and yield: insights from a greenhouse experiment

The experimental data aim to assess the combined effects of climatic scenarios and fertilizers on the yield of TZEE W POP maize. The study uses a split-plot design with two main factors:

Climatic scenarios (primary factor).

Types of fertilizers (secondary factor) at five levels:

Organic (cow manure).

Mineral (NPK).

Int1 (25% organic, 75% chemical).

Int2 (50% organic, 50% chemical).

Int3 (75% organic, 25% chemical).

Each experimental unit consists of 30 observation units.

Key parameters are monitored as follows:

Germination parameters are recorded daily over 10 days.

Growth parameters (measured in cm) are tracked one week after the germination monitoring ends.

Yield parameters (measured in cm and g) are assessed at the end of the cycle, 88 days after planting.

This setup evaluates the effect of fertilization types and climatic constraints on maize parameters.
