“…But based on the research results of Agbaje and [21] in Nigeria, found that fertilizer influence on tuber yield was not significantly affected in early-planted cassava (April), but in late-planted cassava, a significant reduction in yields was observed from the application of 400 and 800 kg ha -1 of NPK fertilizer. [22] found that cassava production was statistically similar both under inorganic or organic fertilizer treatments. [23] in his research in Nigeria, found that giving dolomite at a dosage of 5 ton ha -1 and gypsum 2.5 ton ha -1 gave the highest yield of 9.5 tons of wet tuber ha -1 , compared with 2.5 ton ha -1 of gypsum alone which produces 7.2 ton of wet tuber ha -1 .…”

Cassava (Manihot esculenta C.) is the third-largest crop after rice, and corn in Banten Province. The objectives of this study are: 1) Determine the effect of organic fertilizer application and liming on cassava production in Lebak Regency, 2) Study the difference of cassava farming on the demonstration plot with the cassava farming of farmers. The research method uses a completely randomized experimental design (CRD) on a 0.5 ha demonstration plot with 3 treatment plots each with 3 replications. Also with the survey method interviewing 11 cassava farmers as respondents. The data analysis using qualitative and quantitative analysis. Quantitative analysis used the ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) test and the qualitative test used descriptive tabulations. The results of this study were 1) Fcount = 0.767 < Ftable> = 5,143, the conclusion that H0 was received, means that all treatment did not significantly affect cassava productivity. 2) The average productivity of cassava on the demonstration plot was 42.13 tons of wet tubers/ha while at the farmer's level was 24.18 tons of wet tubers/ha with a B/C ratiowas 4.0. The varieties plantedwere Manggu Local Superior Varieties both on the demonstration plot and farmers.

“…A wide array of organic materials such as animal manure, green manures, legume cover crops, and crop residues have been in use over the years and have been found to enhance crop yields and nutritional values compared to synthetic fertilizers (Ogbonna et al, 2012). However, organic manures from both plant and animal sources are not without shortcomings as they are not always readily available, and may require the extra cost and labour while acquiring them and are often needed in enormous quantities to produce noticeable effects (Adeoye et al, 2008;Ayoola, 2011). A better approach to soil fertility management consists of using balanced proportions of organic and inorganic fertilizers (Nziguheba et al, 2002).…”

“…This perennial problem contributes immensely to factors that militate against food production. In fact, many reports have associated drastic decreases in maize yields with depleted soil nutrients (Ayoola, 2011;Zafar et al, 2011). The use of inorganic fertilizers has thus become a common practice as these agrochemicals help in improving soil fertility considerably.…”

The effects of decaying leaf litter of Tithonia diversifolia and Vernonia amygdalina as organic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer and their combination effects on the growth and development of maize were studied in a screen house. Twenty-four experimental bags filled with 20 kg of loamy soil were laid out in a completely randomized design with six treatments and four replications for each treatment which included: 250 g of decaying leaves of T. diversifolia as mulch (T 1 ), 250 g of decaying leaves of V. amygdalina (T 2 ), 1.52 g of NPK (inorganic) fertilizer (T 3 ), a mixture of 250 g of decaying leaves of T. diversifolia and 1.52 g of NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer (T 4 ), a mixture of V. amygdalina and 1.52 g of NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer (T 5 ) and control (T 6 ). The significant growth as well as maize yields were obtained from T 3 treated maize seedlings, and this was closely followed by T 4 treated seedlings. The study showed that the decaying leaf litter as an organic fertilizer in maize production in a screen house conditions did not give better yield than NPK treatment alone.

“…The nutrients contained in organic manures are released more slowly and stored for a longer time in the soil, thereby ensuring a long‐term residual effect (Cai et al., 2011; Ding et al., 2011; Rahman et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2013). Complementary use of organic manure and mineral fertilizers has proven to be a sound method in soil fertility management in many countries (Ayoola et al., 2007; Kaur et al., 2008; Xu et al., 2008; Zhou et al., 2002). Consequently, the use of organic manure in conjunction with or as an alternative to mineral fertilizer is receiving considerable attention (Hu et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2018; Saleque et al., 2004; Singh & Gangwar, 2000; Solaiman & Rabbani, 2006).…”

Optimally combined application of organic and chemical fertilizers increases grain yield and improves rhizosphere microecological properties in rice ratooning

Field tests were conducted at experimental station of Chongluo, Nanping city, Fujian province, China in 2018–2019 to explore the action and physiological mechanism of organic nitrogen in rice ratooning under the configurations with different proportions of organic and inorganic nitrogen. The results showed that sole chemical fertilizer (CF) led to a significant decrease in soil nutrient availability, especially at late growth stage, and reduced grain yield of the main and ratooning crops compared with the optimal fertilizer configuration (GM2) in 30% organic nitrogen with 70% chemical nitrogen fertilizer in the premise of total application rate at 225 kg N/ha. Further studies have revealed that GM2 relative to CF treatment promoted to produce more productive panicles of the main crop and had carryover effect on the regeneration rate of ratooning rice due to national C13‐assimilates partitioning in rice–rhizosphere systems, which resulted in increased soil microbial diversity and soil fertility, thereby enhanced yields of the main and ratooning rice crops. These findings help to better understand the action and mechanism of the proper combined application of organic and inorganic nitrogen fertilizer via improving remobilization of 13C assimilates in rice–rhizosphere system, and ultimately increasing grain yield in rice ratooning.
