“…Similar long-term studies on different crops have shown increased yield due to application of FYM, and these effects were attributed largely to improved soil organic matter, and soil physical, chemical, and microbial properties (Belay et al, 2001;Satyanarayana et al, 2002). Application of FYM also influences plant growth physiologically by providing growth-regulating substances (Flaig, 1974 as cited by Sharma and Mittra, 1988).…”

“…It is commonly believed that the combination of organic and inorganic fertilizer will increase synchrony and reduce losses by converting inorganic nitrogen (N) into organic forms (Kramer et al, 2002) and is important not only for enhancing the efficiency of the fertilizers, but also in reducing environmental problems that may arise from their use. Apart from supplying nutrients, the application of organic substances, including farmyard manure, also provides growth-regulating substances (Flaig, 1974 as cited by Sharma and Mittra, 1988) and improves the physical (El-Shakweer et al, 1998), chemical (Schjonning et al, 1994), and microbial (Belay et al, 2001) properties of the soil.…”

A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of the combined use of farmyard manure and inorganic fertilizer on the growth and yield of sorghum and on soil chemical properties in a semi-arid area in northeastern Ethiopia. Twelve treatments comprising factorial combinations of four levels of farmyard manure (0, 5, 10, and 15 t ha −1 ) and three levels of inorganic fertilizers (0%, 50%, and 100% of the recommended rate) were compared in a randomized complete block design with three replications over a period of six years. The results revealed significant improvements in the growth and yield of sorghum due to the main and interaction effects of farmyard manure and inorganic fertilizer application. The combined application of farmyard manure and inorganic fertilizers increased post-anthesis dry-matter production by 147%-390% and grain yield by 14%-36%. The main effects of farmyard manure and inorganic fertilizers increased stover yield by 8%-21% and 14%-21%, respectively. Farmyard manure application increased total nitrogen (N) uptake by 21%-36%, grain protein yield by 8%-11%, and grain protein concentration by 20%-29%. Application of farmyard manure along with 50% of the recommended inorganic fertilizer rate resulted in a grain yield equivalent to, or greater than that for 100% of the recommended inorganic fertilizer rate, thus effecting a 50% savings of inorganic N and phosphorus (P) fertilizer. Application of 5, 10, and 15 t farmyard manure ha −1 along with 100% of the recommended fertilizer rate and 5, 10, and 15 t farmyard manure ha −1 along with 50% of the recommended fertilizer rate can be recommended for farmers who can and cannot afford to buy inorganic fertilizers, respectively.

“…The nutrient contribution of recycled RS depends mainly on the quantity applied, the composition of RS and its management. Long-term experiments indicate that RS incorporation in wetland rice fields increased available N, P, K and Si contents of the soil and therefore helped to increase paddy yields (Ponnamperuma 1984;Diamond et al 1986;Sharma & Mittra 1988;Mahapatra et al 1991). Although recycling of RS offers agronomic benefits that are essential for sustainable rice farming, it also presents practical problems.…”

Four field experiments were conducted over the 1992 and 1993 seasons (southwest monsoon seasons, June-October) in the warm subhumid tropical region on the west coast of the Maharashtra State, India. The objective was to investigate the effect of recycling limited amounts of rice straw (RS) (as a source of K and Si) integrated with the use of prilled urea (PU) and urea briquettes (UB) at 60 kg N/ha on the growth and yield of rainfed transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.). The management practice, consisting of basal incorporation of RS (2 t/ha) integrated with deep placement of UB (one 2-1-g UB/4 hills) immediately after transplanting using a modified 20 x 20 cm spacing, produced a significantly higher grain yield (average increase of 1-3 t/ha) and straw yield (average increase of 1 • 1 t/ha) than did the RS practice integrated with two equal split applications of PU at the same N rate and hill spacing. The additional yields were attributed to the increase of total and productive tillers/m 2 and panicle weight. The results indicate the potential of the integrated RS-UB management for increasing yields of rainfed transplanted rice in the warm subhumid tropical zone.

“…Literature also support of S. bispinosa is an excellent organic amendment for sub-tropical agro climatic conditions. 17,18 Sharma & Mitra 19 found enhanced productivity of main and succeeding crops due to application of Sesbania aculeata as green manure. The possible reasons for highest yield with Sesbania may be due to its easy and rapid decomposition, highest dry matter supplied and early release of nutrients to the crop.…”

An experiment was carried out for two consecutive years in shifting cultivation areas of Karbi Anglong district, Assam to evaluate the potentiality of N 2-fixing plants as organic amendment for increment of crop productivity and fertility status of soil. Three leguminous plants i.e. Crotalaria pallida, Sesbania bispinosa, Cajanus cajan were raised along with cultivation of rice and maize. Organic carbon and nitrogen content were significantly higher in soil because of rapid mineralization and steady supply of nutrient due to decomposition of leafy foliage of N 2-fixing plants applied as organic amendment. Significant increase of available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium content was observed in treated plots but it was found to be decreased considerably after harvesting of agricultural crops. All the treatments shows superior yield over control in both the year of experimentation. C. pallida increased 56.74% more rice yield in first year and 55.07% in second year in respect of control. Maximum production of straw was also found high in C. pallida followed by S. bispinosa and C. cajan. Economic analysis on productivity of crops conducted in two subsequent years showed maximum cost-benefit ratio in C. pallida applied plots which is found to be more effective contrast to other treatments. Maize exhibits significantly high value in compared to rice.
