•NPK fertilisation suppressed the uptake of several radionuclides by maize.•No suppression for radionuclides which are or can mimic biogenic elements.•No suppression for radionuclides which accumulated on stem from air.•Low radionuclide concentrations in grain.•Fertilisation did not change the radio...
