“…For the yield parameters, the applied fertilizers produced a highly significant effect on all the parameters studied. The treatment of 50% of mineral fertilizers with cation balance+½ poultry manure produced the highest values for the productivity parameters, which corroborates with the work of [33] on okra. This performance is due to the benefic actions of organic and mineral fertilizers with cation balance on acidic soils [34].…”

Soil acidity, combined with high aluminum toxicity, is one of the major problems limiting agricultural productivity. The objective of this work was to improve growth and yields of okra on acidic and degraded soil in the Center region, Cameroon, using an innovative fertilization approach and lime material. The soil is ferralitic, very acidic, with aluminum toxicity and significant imbalance in the (Ca/Mg/K) ratio of (55/15/30). Seven fertilization treatments were applied: Control without fertilizer; arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF); AMF+50% poultry manure (AMF+½ PM); mineral fertilizers with cation balance at 100% (MF100 %); AMF+50% mineral fertilizers (AMF+50 % MF); poultry manure at 50%+50 % mineral fertilizers (MF50%+½ PM) and poultry manure (PM). Two varieties of okra were used (Kirikou F1 and Local). The experimental design was a split-plot with two factors. Considering MF, an innovative Ca/Mg/K ratio of 68/23/9 was applied. The results showed that the applied fertilizers had a significant effect on the agronomic parameters of okra with MF50%+½ PM followed by PM and MF100% as the best treatments. An average increase in fresh yield from 111% to 1840% over the control was recorded and the best symbiotic parameters were observed at the AMF treatment associated with the Local variety. This variety responds better to organic matter intake while Kirikou F1 is more favorable to chemical fertilizer addition.

“…A similar kind of result having maximum stem diameter in chili was obtained by M.R., (2016) [5] . Also, Singh et al, (2012) [29] and (Binte et al, 2021) [25] observed a progressive growth in the stem diameter of okra plants when organic fertilizers combined with inorganic fertilizers were used in acidic soil. Results from Table 5 revealed that even the different levels of organic and inorganic fertilizers did not significantly influence the leaf numbers.…”

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.), a widely cultivated spice crop has been yielding reduced quantities because of the inappropriate and haphazard handling of chemical fertilizers. An experiment was conducted to assess the impact of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) on chili's growth, yield, and soil nutrient status. It was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments used in the study were T1 (Control), T2 (Recommended dose of PK, and N through FYM), T3 (RDF + FYM), T4 (FYM), T5 (Doubling RDF + FYM), T6 (RDF + FYM + 25% of N), T7 (RDF + Poultry Manure). Among the 7 treatments performed, treatment T5 resulted in the tallest crop height while the shortest height was observed in T1. T3 produced the thickest stem whereas T1 had the thinnest stem. Maximum leaf count was observed in T6 and the lowest in T1. T3 and T6 produced the highest and lowest number of pods per plant respectively. T3 also accounted for the highest yield per plot whereas the decline in yield potential was observed in T1. Post-harvest nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content were highest in T6, T3, and T7 but nitrogen content was found lowest in T4 along with phosphorus, and potassium content in T1. Significantly higher organic matter and pH were acquired in treatments T6 and T4 while the lower organic matter and pH were recorded in treatments T4 and T1.
