The highest maize yield (11.97 t ha-1) was given in the recommended dose (T1 treatment) and statistically identical up to T3 and below yield from other treatments. The yield of potato was around 25 to 26 t ha-1 when applying the recommended fertilizer dose in potato. The yield of farmers treatment, it was 9.04 t ha-1. However, considering of all things, the 50% of recommended dose of maize with compeer to other treatments, the 50% of recommended dose of maize dose was better dose after potato harvest.
