“…This might be due to involvement of zinc in biosynthesis of Indole 3-acetic acid, a growth hormone, involved in stem elongation, Similar results are obtained by Teja et al [5]. Further with the application of silicon increased photosynthetic efficiency resulting in improving plant growth.…”

The present study highlights the effect of Iron and Silicon on growth and yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). Si occurs primarily in soil solution as monosilicic acid (H4SiO4) at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 mm and is taken up by plants in this form. Silicon can mitigate the negative effects of abiotic stresses such as high temperature, freezing, drought, lodging, radiation, irradiation, and UV, as well as chemical stresses such as salt, nutrient imbalance, and metal toxicity. A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season 2022 at experimental field of Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil at the test site had a sandy loam texture, a pH of 7.3 that was almost neutral, and low levels of available potassium (215.4 kg/ha), nitrogen (230 kg/ha), phosphorus (13.60 kg/ha), and organic carbon (0.48%). The treatments consist of foliar spray of iron (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 %) at 35, 45 DAS and Foliar spray of Silicon (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 ml/L) at 50 DAS along with control (RDF: 80:40:40 NPK Kg/ha). The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicated thrice. Significantly higher plant height (205.66 cm), maximum plant dry weight (133.2 g) and the yield attributes namely test weight (25.82 g), grains/earhead (2368.33), grain yield (2850.00 Kg/ha), stover yield (4004.67 Kg/ha), maximum gross return (84645.00 INR/ha), net return (52313.00 INR/ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.61) were obtained in the treatment 9 with the application of 1.50% Iron along with 1.50ml/L Si.

“…Tiwana and Chaudhary (2009) at Ludhiana (Punjab) observed higher In Vitro Dry Matter Digestibility (IVDMD) in irrigated sorghum when crop was grown with 75 per cent recommended dose of N through fertilizer + 25 per cent N through farmyard manure or vermicompost compared to the application of 50 per cent recommended dose of N through fertilizer + 50 per cent nitrogen through farmyard manure or vermicompost and 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer alone. Application of Azotobacter + 75 per cent nitrogen phosphorus + recommended potassium and zinc + phosphorus solubilising organisms in oat resulted in higher grain crude protein yield grown under red and lateritic soil conditions of Sriniketan (West Bengal) by Jena et al (2017). Patil et al (2018) at Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh) also reported a significant improvement in quality parameters of sorghum with the conjoint use of 75 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers, poultry manure (2t ha -1 ), Azospirillium and phosphorus solubilising organisms @5 kg ha -1 .…”

Several studies have found that using chemical fertilisers on a regular basis has a negative impact on soil health and productivity by altering the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the soil. Organic sources, on the other hand, provide all vital nutrients to plants, but they are insufficient to meet the nutritional needs of the country's crops. In this case, an optimum proportion of organic and inorganic sources should be combined to improve crop quality, crop yield, and soil productivity. This article reviews study that evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on crop yield, quality and soil productivity.

The field experiment was conducted during Zaid season 2022 at the experimental field of Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj and Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.3), low in organic carbon (0.48%), available nitrogen (230 kg/ha), available phosphorus (13.60 kg/ha) and available potassium (215.4 kg/ha). The treatments consist of 3 levels of Nitrogen (40 Kg, 50 Kg and 60 Kg/ ha) as a basal application and Iron (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 %) as foliar spray along with control. The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design with Ten treatments each replicated thrice. Growth attributes namely higher plant height (101.57cm), maximum dry weight/plant (14.83 g), more number of tillers/hill (8.87) and yield attributes namely higher panicle length (18.61 cm), grains/panicle (1389.30), grain yield (1.79 t/ha) and straw yield (2.53 t/ha) were observed with application of nitrogen 60 Kg/ha and iron 0.6%.
