Abstract The experimental field was flat, gradually sloping, and had a loamy sand texture with good drainage. At a depth of 0-15 centimetres, the soil in the experimental field was somewhat alkaline in reaction, had a low concentration of organic carbon and available N, a moderate concentration of available P2O5, and a high concentration of available K2O. Increases in plant height at 60 DAS, at harvest, and plant dry weight at harvest were observed in maize when 75% RDF + 25% RDN was applied via Vermicompost + NPK Consortium Soil application in the 2018-19, 2019-20, and pooled basis years; however, these results were not statistically significant for plant height at 30 DAS and plant dry weight at 30 DAS. The application of 75% RDF + 25% RDN through Vermicompost + NPK Consortium Soil increased the cob length, cob girth, number of grains per cob, and seed index of maize in both 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 on a pooled basis. Analysis of data from the 2018-19 and 2019-20 growing seasons, as well as a combined study of those two years, shows that integrated nutrition management treatments had no effect on the number of cobs per plant, harvest index, or shelling % of maize.
