Guinea Pig Manure and Mineral Fertilizers Enhance the Yield and Nutritional Quality of Hard Yellow Maize on the Peruvian Coast

Abstract
Sustainable fertilization using local resources such as manure is crucial for soil health. This study evaluated the potential of guinea pig manure to replace mineral fertilizers in hard yellow maize (hybrid INIA 619) under Peruvian coastal conditions. A split-plot design tested four doses of guinea pig manure (0, 2, 5, 10 t⋅ha−1) and four levels of mineral fertilization (0%, 50%, 75%, 100%). The s...
