From Farmer Training to Field Demonstration: Participatory Bioameliorant Innovation for Enhancing Waxy Maize Productivity on Sandy Soil in North Lombok, Indonesia
Sandy soils in North Lombok are characterized by low organic matter, limited nutrient availability, and poor water-holding capacity, which constrain waxy maize productivity. This study evaluated a participatory bioameliorant-based intervention implemented through farmer training, hands-on practice, and field demonstration. Bioameliorant application markedly improved crop growth and yield compared with the control.
