Effect of Application of Graded Level of Phosphorus to Finger Millet - Maize Cropping System in Soils of Different P Fertility

Aims: To evaluate the influence of farmyard manure, vermicompost, mustard oil cake, poultry manure, and inorganic fertilisers (N, P, K) on maize dry matter buildup and nutrient uptake by plants, as well as to demonstrate how maize may be produced in a poplar agroforestry system. Study Design: Randomized block design. Place and Duration of Study: Forest Nursery, College of Forestry, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, between July 2019 – October 2019 and July 2020 – October 2020. Methodology: The research was laid out in Randomized Block Design replicated thrice with twelve treatments viz., T1 (Control), T2 (100% Recommended dose of fertilizer), T3 (75%) RDF), T4 (50%) RDF), T5 (75%) RDF + (25%) RDF through FYM), T6 (50%) RDF + (50%) RDF through FYM), T7 (75%) RDF + (25%) RDF through Mustard Oilcake, T8 (50%) RDF + (50%) RDF through Mustard Oilcake and T9 (75%) RDF + (25%) RDF through Vermicompost, T10 (50%) RDF + (50%) RDF through Vermicompost, T11 (75%) RDF + (25%) RDF through poultry manure and T12 (50%) RDF + (50%) RDF through poultry manure. These treatment combinations were applied prior to sowing of maize. After harvesting of maize in October, the said observations i.e. dry matter accumulation and nutrient uptake by maize plant were calculated. Results: In the effect of twelve treatments, T9 (75% RDF + 25% N through Vermicompost) considerably influenced and recorded highest dry matter accumulation and nutrient uptake by maize, followed by T11 during two consecutive years, while T1 (control), where no fertiliser or manure was applied under a poplar agroforestry system, recorded the lowest. Conclusion: by application of vermicompost in combination with chemical fertiliser considerably improved growth characteristics and output. All of the treatments had a considerable impact on maize growth and yield. The optimum result was found to be 75 % RDF + 25 % Vermicompost (T9) in the current study. Our results indicated that, organic fertilizer can be a superior supplement of inorganic fertilizer to produce healthier growth and yield of maize.

“…Iqbal et al (2012), Rahman et al (2013), came to similar conclusion, they suggested that intercropping cereal/legume cropping system in combination with bio-organic farming system and or with adequate nutrient supplies in poor soil fertility can be successfully compensate low productivity and mitigates the soil nutrients deficit. In the same context, the experiments of Chandrakala et al (2017) concluded that, following intercropping practices alongside integrated nutrient management could be supplied plants with its nutrient requirements and mitigate the harmful effect of the absence of essential nutrients. Such practice can overcomes one of the serious problems accompanying the excessive applications of synthetic fertilizers, which is usually followed by many farmers.…”

Inroduction Recently, much higher nutrient outflows due to some bad practices followed by farmer's viz., intensive agriculture, neglected cropping sequences and ignored fertilization programs; all these among the factors of soil degradation are the main challenges facing improving agriculture. Thus, low priority is given to increasing the current productivity to meet the present rapid population growth and changing in food preferences, as well as decreasing the gap between total food production and human consumption. Nutrient managements are therefore, a vital component of agriculture strategy plan to 2050. Although, the extension of the cultivated area is an urgent priority for increasing national income, regretfully the most of the allowed lands for reclamation are sandy or sandy calcareous soils contains relatively high

“…According to Sharma [59], vermicompost prepared from Teff straw has an Available K (mgK 2 O/kg) of 7327 or 0.73%. Similarly, [17,10,18] reported that vermicompost contains a lot of potassium. The application of 10 tons of compost per hectare along with 100 kg each of urea and NPSB increases K from 0.48 to 0.65 Cmol + /kg (Table 5).…”

Ethiopia's most significant industry, accounting for 46% of the country's GDP and 90% of its export revenues, is agriculture. A decline in soil fertility is the major constraint to agricultural production and food security in Ethiopian farming systems. The ability of farmers to invest in soil conservation techniques or fertilizers is quite limited. Because of low yields, many farmers must use fallow and marginal areas for crops to fulfill their food demands. The first stage in preserving soil fertility should focus on preserving the soil's organic matter level. This may be achieved by adding organic compost or manure in addition to mineral fertilizers while employing the proper crop husbandry techniques. This review was focused on production of five selected crops namely barley, maize, teff, wheat, and onion through application of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Accordingly, different Authors stated that the application of (integrated nutrient management) INM with various components increases plant nutrient uptake by improving the availability of nutrients for them. Under acidic soil conditions incorporating liming materials also played a dominant role to raise the Power of Hydrogen (pH) and other cations like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and others of the soil from the initial point. On the other hand, application of INM play a great role in increasing the yields and yield components of crops and is economically more beneficial compared to using sole use of either organic or inorganic fertilizers.
