Integrated application of fertilization increased maize (Zea mays L.) yield by improving soil quality, particularly under limited water conditions in a semi-arid sandy area

Water shortage and soil degradation are major challenges to agricultural production encountered in the semi-arid areas. The advantage of application of organic and biofertilizers in improving the soil productivity have been verified. However, there is still a lack of related research evaluating the...
