The study determined that a combined application of 30‒50 kg N ha‒1 mineral fertilizer with 50‒70% N from compost was an appropriate ratio for achieving the three pillars of CSA as well as other benefits to ensure sustainable maize production in Ethiopia and other Sub-Saharan Africa for similar soil types. %L 630 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00004362 %U http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00004362 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00004362-6 %U https://d-nb.info/1297583167/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00004362
