Depletion of soil fertility is a main problem to sustain agricultural production and productivity in many countries. The study analyzed the economic effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the yield of maize in Oyo State, Nigeria. Agroecosyst. Background Corn silage is an important feed for intense ruminant production, but the growth of corn relies heavily on the use of chemical fertilizers. Barley is an important food and beverage crop in the highlands of Ethiopia, although intensive cultivation and suboptimal fertilizer application have caused nutrient depletion and yield decline. Genes and signals in the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis. Top Green) Jigme 1*, Nipon Jayamangkala 1, Pathipan Sutigoolabud 2, Jirapon Inthasan 2 and Siriwat Sakhonwasee 1 1 Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture Production, Maejo … Effects of 15 years of manure and inorganic fertilizers on soil organic carbon fractions in a w heat-maize system in the North China Plain.Nutr. Application of compost significantly increased total microbial biomass in the soil. Sustainable crop production requires careful management of all nutrient sources available on a farm, particularly in corn-based cropping systems. Effects of organic and inorganic manures on maize and their residual impact on soil physico-chemical properties.
Identification of a sustainable integrated soil fertility management option in the tropics will not only salvage the degraded soils but also enhances the attainment of the goal of food security.
The treatments consisted of poultry droppings, Inorganic fertilizer (NPK ) , and poultry droppings plus Inorganic fertilizer.
Eur. 92(1):21-33. Rong et al., (2001) reported that combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers decreased soil bulk density, increased soil moisture, soil fertility, and improved maize grain quality. Application of organic manure in combination with chemical fertilizer has been reported to increase absorption of N, P and K in sugarcane leaf tissue in the plant and ratoon crop, compared to chemical fertilizer alone.
The use of inorganic or organic fertilizer alone has both positive and negative effects on plant growth, nutrient availa-bility and the soil.
Loper JE, Gross H (2007). The optimum rates of the organic fertilizers for sustainable maize and cowpea yield were between 5 and 10 t ha −1. Unlike organic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer must be applied carefully or the plants may die.
It is also a fact that organic fertilizers increase yields of crops significantly Both organic and inorganic fertilizers provide plants with the nutrients needed to grow healthy and strong. J. Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important staple food crops in Ethiopia although its yield is low.Intensive cultivation causes plant nutrient depletion and yield decline. Long SR (2001). Maize as influenced by complementary use of organic and inorganic fertilizers 754 latitude 9.30oN) with average annual rainfall of 1219mm, mean temperature range between 26oC - 39oC. Impact of organic and inorganic fertilizers on yield and quality of silage corn in intercropped system with soybean Ali Baghdadi 1 Corresp., 1 , Ridzwan A. Halim, Ali Ghasemzadeh 1 , Mohd Fauzi Ramlan 1 , Siti Zaharah Sakimin 1 1 Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia Journal of soil science and plant nutrition 17 , 22–32 (2017). Maize as influenced by complementary use of organic and inorganic fertilizers 754 latitude 9.30oN) with average annual rainfall of 1219mm, mean temperature range between 26oC - 39oC. The objective of this experiment was, therefore, to investigate the effects of combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on yield and yield components and nutrient contents of maize.
Cycl. Effect of organic and inorganic sources of fertilizer on growth, yield and fruit quality of eggplant (Solanum Melongena L) ... Organic manures may increase soil fertility and thus the crop production potential possibly by ... mainly maize stovers.
