“…This was due to the increased dry matter production of potato crop, which in turn increased uptake of N. Improvement of N uptake due to residual effect of organic manures was reported by Cooper band et al, (2002) [6] . It might be attributed well established developed root system, additional nutrients supply by FYM, significant improvement in soil physical properties, microbial and metabolic activity, and higher photosynthesis rate, which may have helped in better absorption of nutrients by plant (Parmar et al, 2007) [25] .…”

Field experiment entitled "Effect of integrated nutrient management in sweet corn-potato cropping sequence" was conducted during kharif and rabi season of 2014 to 2015 at Instructional Research Farm, Central Campus, Post Graduate Institute, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri. Results revealed that the highest N, P and K content in grain and stover, total N, P and K uptake, protein content in grain of sweet corn were recorded in the treatment receiving T7 -125% RDN + 25% N through VC, which were statistically at par with T6 -125% RDN + 25% N through FYM. However, T2 -75% RDN + 25% N through FYM proved to be the poorest source in terms of total uptake of NPK nutrients and quality parameters. The highest N, P and K content and total nutrient uptake in potato tuber and haulms and quality parameters of tubers were recorded in the plots with residual fertility of T1 -100% GRDF, which was at par T6 -125% RDN + 25% N through FYM. Application of FYM to preceding sweet corn led to significantly higher nutrient content and total N, P and K uptake in tuber and haulms of tubers during both the years.

“…As stated by Eghball et al (2002), manure having higher total N content had more N readily available for crops. The positive effects of integrated application of chemical fertilizers and manure or compost are reported on other solanaceous crops, as in potato (Solanum tuberosum) (Parmar et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2012;Islam et al, 2013;Haque, 2014) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) (Rodge and Yadlod, 2009;Singh et al, 2013).…”

Article InfoComposting is a good option of solid waste recycling, but its use by the farmers is limited because of its low nutrient status. Our study has considered organic amendments to increase nutrient status of MSW compost. We prepared three types of amended compost by mixing 20% mustard oil cake (MOC) and 30% poultry manure (PM) or cowdung (CD) or sugarcane press mud (SPM) with 50% MSW compost. Trichoderma viridi inoculum was used to accelerate the composting process. Different amendments improved the nutrient level of MSW compost. A field experiment was conducted to measure the performances of amended MSW composts alone and with fertilizers on yield and nutrient content of brinjal (Solanum melongena) and soil fertility. The experiment was carried out at Bangladesh Agricultural University research farm having silt loam texture, 6.7 pH and 2.79% organic matter; the soil was Aeric Haplaquept under the order Inceptisols. There were 10 treatments consisting of chemical fertilizers (urea, TSP, MoP, gypsum & zinc sulphate) and four types of MSW compost (3 enriched and 1 unenriched). The nutrient status of soil had increased due to application of composts. Based on the results of fruit (edible portion) yield and N, P, K and S concentrations of brinjal, and soil nutrient availability, the mixture 50% fertilizers +10 t ha -1 of enriched compost (MSW + MOC + SPM in a ratio of 5:2:3) was found as the best treatment. Results of this study have significant value in fertilizer management strategies for brinjal cultivation in sub-tropical countries.

“…For instance, a study under experimental conditions suggests that under deficit irrigation conditions, a combination of chemical fertilizer with vermicompost produced better results than chemical fertilizer alone [12]. The use of organic fertilizers appears particularly interesting in conditions of stress and weather variability, while a tailored combination with micro-nutrients suitable for crop and soil enhances yields (see e.g., Parmar et al [13]). However, much of the literature on fertilizers reduces outcome to the question of crop yield rather than resilience, and more specifically short-term gains in crop yield under normal circumstances.…”

The Role of Organic Fertilizers in Transition to Sustainable Agriculture in the MENA Region

New Generation of Organic Fertilizers

Organic fertilizers can serve as an element of transitions to sustainable low-input agriculture in semi-arid regions of the MENA region. They play a key role in supporting soil biota and soil fertility. Yield improvements, availability and relatively low costs make organic fertilizers an attractive alternative for farmers. In semi-arid regions, important considerations are improved soil quality, which in turn affects soil water retention, while better root development helps crops resist heat and water stress. Organic fertilizers thus support climate adaptation and regional food security. Soil quality is crucial for carbon sequestration, at the same time that increased nutrient retention reduces impacts of agricultural runoff on groundwater and water bodies. Factors that impede the generalised use of organic fertilizers include lack of expertise, subsidy structures, constraints of the wider food and agricultural systems, and difficulties in transitioning from conventional agriculture. Such obstacles are aggravated in countries affected by security issues, financial volatility or restrictions in access to market. Against the background of both general and local constraints, the chapter examines possible pathways to benefit from organic fertilizers, in particular synergies with other sustainable agricultural practices, as well as improved access to expertise.
