Treatments with the same letter are not significantly different by DMRT at . Fertilizer indicates the average of two fertilizer treatments: prilled and tablet urea; Residue indicates the average of three residue treatments: indigo, indigo plus mungbean, and maize residues; §Residue + PU is the average of three residue plus prilled urea treatments: indigo residue plus PU, indigo and mungbean residue plus PU, and maize residue plus PU; ¶Residue + TU is the average of three residue plus TU treatments: indigo residue plus TU, indigo and mungbean residue plus TU, and maize residue plus TU
