“…The conjunctive use of agricultural wastes and NPK improved the soil chemical status and the growth and yield characteristics of maize. These observations were consistent with earlier reports of Agele, Adeyemo, and Famuwagun (2011). Among the biological indicators, dehydrogenase assay in the soils varied from 2.48 to 3.01 µg TPF hr −1 g −1 and was not significantly influenced by the management treatments.…”

The present long-term study was initiated to quantify the long-term effects of conjunctive nutrient management on soil quality, identify key indicators, and assess soil quality indices under a rainfed maize-wheat system in marginal Inceptisol soils in India. Results of the study revealed that soil organic carbon was significantly influenced by the conjunctive nutrient-management treatments. Among the nine treatments, the application of 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) (80 kg N ha −1 ), 15 kg N (compost) + 20 kg N ha −1 (inorganic), 25 kg N (compost), and 15 kg N (compost) + 10 kg N ha −1 (green leaf) resulted in greater organic carbon contents of 5. 57, 5.32, 5.27, and 5.26 g kg −1 , which were greater by 29.5%, 24%, 23%, and 22%, respectively, over the control. The greatest soil quality index (1.61) was observed with application of 25 kg nitrogen (N; compost) as well as with application of 15 kg N (compost) + 10 kg N ha −1 (green leaf). The order of percentage contribution of key indicators toward soil quality indices was available potassium (K) (34%) > available phosphorus (P) (32%) > available N (13%) > microbial biomass carbon (12%) > exchangeable calcium (Ca) (9%). The linear regression equation revealed the principal role of soil quality indicators in maize crop yield. The methodology and the results of the study could be of great relevance in improving and assessing soil quality not only for the study locations but also for other climatically and edaphically identical regions across the world.

“…Integrated use of organic wastes and mineral fertilizer is reported to reduce the cost and amount of fertilizer required by crops. This practice is also known to improve nutrient use efficiency and chemical and nutritional quality of crops [8]. Renewable management of organic sources of N through use of agricultural waste materials would improve the quality of the environment and soil health.…”

“…Potential availability of nutrients for plant uptake is a function of its solubility in the growing media and its physical location in the root zone. Physiological factors affect diffusion transport and rates of nutrient transfer across root boundaries and nutrient uptake through differentiation between the absorption of water and nitrates [8]. The level of N supply to the growing tissues, flowering and fruit set and N accumulation/concentration in Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Environment plant tissues (fruits) are affected by the time of N application and root absorption efficiency.…”

“…The level of N supply to the growing tissues, flowering and fruit set and N accumulation/concentration in Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Environment plant tissues (fruits) are affected by the time of N application and root absorption efficiency. Although a high level of N supply to the growing tissues will be maintained when the time of N application coincides with maximum root absorption efficiency, maximum partitioning of N between the reproductive and vegetative organs may not be attained [5] [8].…”

“…Rather et al [9] and Graham [13] postulated that N efficiency in terms of high yield production is affected by the status of soil N, and crop varieties may differ in performance under varying soil N status. Rather et al [9] and Agele et al [8] opined that crop yield responses may increase under fertilizer treatments possibly due to improved efficiency of nutrient utilization for yield production. The nutrient release characteristics of organic materials depends on the material, particle size, soil temperature and moisture content [8].…”

Field experiments were conducted at the experimental farm Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) Sub-Station, Ochaja, in the Southern Guinea Savannaagro ecological zone of Nigeria to examine uptake and use efficiencies of nutrients by Sesame and Bambara nut alley crops as influenced by manuring in a Cashew-based intercropping system. Experimental treatments were based on responses of sole and intercrop mixtures of Sesame and Bambara nut alley crops to Cocoa Pod Husk (CPH), pelletized organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer in a cashew-based intercropping system. Data were collected on the growth and yield variables of the alley crops. Highest nitrogen harvest index (NHI) for seed and leaf of alley crops were obtained from un-manure treated plants. Cocoa pod husk (CPH) significantly enhanced P uptake compared with other fertilizers applied. CPH improved Na, Ca, Mg Zn, Cu, P, K and carbohydrate in the leaves and Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, crude fibre and carbohydrate contents of seeds of sole crops while Sesame + Bambara had enhanced contents of N, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, P, N, K, moisture, protein, and crude fibre, crude protein, moisture content in leaves. The effects of NPK were significant for N, K Ca, Zn, Fe, Cu, P, moisture and crude fibre, while in the un-manure (control) plots influenced N, fat and protein and nitrogen harvest index (NHI) of leaf and seeds. CPH and NPK fertilizers enhanced nutrient uptake and nitrogen harvest index of alley crops. Nutrient uptake was similar for the varieties of Sesame and Bambara nut as affected by the application of 4.84 and 9.68 Kg pelletized organic fertilizer.
