Abstract This inquiry is aimed at discerning the impact of various agricultural practices, such as crop rotation, the incorporation of plant residues, and the application of mineral fertilizers, on soil health and crop productivity, notably focusing on maize production. Cultivation included maize ( Zea mays ), velvet beans ( Mucuna pruriens ), soybeans ( Glycine max ), and vetch ( Vicia sativa ). After harvest, maize seeds were sown across all 48 plots to evaluate the influence of preceding crop
