“…Twenty and thirty-five days after the seedling emergence, HA was also sprayed @ 0, 0.1 and 0.2 %. Results revealed that HA application in soil counteracted the negative effect of salinity, and improved the nitrogen uptake whereas foliar spray improved the uptake of Zn, K, and P. Similarly, in a field trial, Shaaban et al (2013) applied the gypsum with FYM and HA in saline-sodic paddy field. They described that the gypsum alone or combined with FYM and HA remarkably improved the paddy yield and properties of salt-affected soils.…”

A mong abiotic factors, salt stress is a universal constraint for sustainable agriculture production. To increase agriculture production, it is imperative to explore the potential of unproductive salt-affected soils by employing suitable remedial strategies. Removal of toxic Na + out of root zone through some suitable amendments like gypsum, sulfur, H 2 SO 4 is a usual way to reclaim the sodic or saline-sodic soils. Gypsum being a direct source of Ca 2+ , low price, and ease in handling, is the most used inorganic amendment. According to Hamza and Anderson (2003), gypsum effectively removes the exchangeable Na + and decreases the soil pH s , EC e and SAR. Integrated use of gypsum with some organic amendments like compost, farmyard manure, and poultry manure not only increased the solubility and the reclamation efficiency of gypsum but also improved the health of salt prone soils (Tajada et al., Abstract | Use of inorganic and organic amendments is a very effective approach to enhance crop productivity and restoring the deteriorated properties of salt-affected soils. For addressing this objective, a study was undertaken to investigate the ameliorative effect of humic acid (HA) with gypsum on rice-wheat crops under saline-sodic condition (EC e = 4.71 dS m -1 , SAR = 31.82, pH s = 9.10). Different combinations of gypsum and humic acid tested were: T 1 -control, T 2 -gypsum @ 100 % GR, T 3 -gypsum @ 75 % GR+ HA @ 15 kg ha -1 , T 4 -gypsum @ 75 % GR+ HA @ 30 kg ha -1 , T 5 -gypsum @ 50 % GR+ HA @ 15 kg ha -1 , T 6 -gypsum @ 50 % GR+ HA @ 30 kg ha -1 . Yield data of each crop was documented at maturity. Results showed that growth and yield attributes increased significantly, and properties of saline-sodic field were ameliorated remarkably by the integrated use of HA and gypsum. The maximum plant height, 1000-grain weight, paddy and grain yield of rice and wheat crops were obtained where the gypsum+ humic acid were used @75 % GR+ HA @ 30 kg ha -1 followed by gypsum @ 100% GR while the chemicals properties of soil (pH s , EC e , SAR) were under the safe limits in both treatments. Gypsum @ 75 % GR+ humic acid @ 30 kg ha -1 reduced the pH s (6.70%), EC e (27.60%) and SAR (54.96%), hydraulic conductivity (9.75%), and bulk density (3.94%) over their initial values. Therefore, it was concluded that integrated use of gypsum @ 75% GR + humic acid @ 30 Kg ha -1 is equally effective as gypsum @ 100 % GR in improving the yield of wheat and rice crops and restoring the deteriorated properties of salt-affected soils.

The optimisation of agricultural practises is required to achieve both high yields and environmental sustainability in response to the growing worldwide need for food production. In order to accomplish these two objectives, site specific nutrient management (SSNM) has emerged as a promising strategy. SSNM is an approach of supplying plants with nutrients to optimally match their inherent spatial and temporal needs for supplemental nutrients by using different tools of SSNM such as remote sensing, GPS, GIS systems, VRT, yield monitoring. With the invention of SSNM, it has become possible to manage soil nutrient variations throughout a field with prescription fertilizer applications. Stress management is another area where SSNM can help Indian farmers. Most cultivated soils in India are acidic, whereas spatial variation in pH is high. Detecting nutrient stresses using remote sensing and combining data in a GIS can help in sitespecific applications of fertilizers and soil amendments. From an economic perspective, SSNM holds the promise of cost savings through judicious use of fertilizers, making agriculture more financially viable for farmers. Effective coordination among the public and private sectors and growers is, therefore, essential for implementing new strategies to achieve fruitful success. So site-specific nutrient management is a game changer in modern agriculture, combining localised accuracy with sustainable practises. As the world's population continues to grow, embracing SSNM could provide a viable way to maintain food security while minimising environmental consequences. To realise the full potential of SSNM, however, a consistent commitment to research, technological integration, and information sharing is required.

“…Organic manures such as farmyard manure (FYM), besides supplying plant nutrients, have positive effects in maintaining the soil properties such as moderating soil pH, increasing the water-holding capacity and infiltration rate, and improving soil flora and fauna [14]. Organic manures not only benefit the target crop but also have a pronounced residual effect on the subsequent crops [15]. However, availability of commonly used organic manure in the country, i.e., FYM, has been declining because of the higher demand in intensified cropping systems and a decreasing cattle population [10].…”

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), being an energy-rich crop, is sensitive to nutrient deficiencies and a scavenger of nutrients from the soil. Optimum and integrated nutrient management (INM) improves productivity and the quality of seeds. The objective of this study was to identify suitable system-based INM (S-INM) options for peanut–wheat cropping sequence in the Saurashtra region of India. Results showed that peanut growth, yield attributing parameters, pod, and haulm yield, and NPK uptake were higher when 100% recommended fertilizer doses (RDFs) + farmyard manure (FYM) @5 t/ha + plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were applied. However, application of 75% RDFs + FYM @5 t/ha + PGPR in peanut and 100% RDF in wheat was most effective to improve growth and yield attributes, yields and nutrient uptake by wheat. Further, this FYM- and PGPR-amended treatment was found to increase system productivity by 15.3 and 17.1%, system profitability by 17.0 and 22.6%, and net energy gain by 10.0 and 17.9% over the reference treatment and over farmers’ practice (FF), respectively. This sustainable system approach will be helpful for agronomists and farmers in identifying and practicing suitable field practices with further study on the residual effect of organic manures on the peanut–wheat based cropping system in the western region of India with light black soils.
