“…Integrated use of 75% RDF+organic manure in the form of vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha -1 mixed with bio fertilizers (Azotobacter, Azospirillum and PSB) increased the yield of baby corn (1.50 t ha -1 ) and green forage (26.03 t ha -1 ). It was in agreement with the findings of Thavaprakash et al, 2005;Dadarwal et al, 2009 andRasool et al, 2015. The favorable effect of integrated nutrient supply in improving the yield components of baby corn resulted in enhancement of baby corn yield.…”

“…The reason for superior crop growth is due to synergistic effect of integration of inorganic fertilizers, organic manure and bio fertilizers that resulted in increased availability and absorption of nutrients through production of growth promoting substances and solubulization of nutrient by combined use of vermicompost mixed with bio fertilizers (Azotobacter, Azospirillium and PSB). It is in conformity with findings of several research workers (Thavaprakash and Velayudham, 2007;Dadarwal et al, 2009;Rasool et al, 2015). The integration of green manuring (sun hemp) with inorganic and bio fertilizers had no significant effect on crop growth which might be due to slow release of nutrients by decomposition of green manure biomass in short duration crop cycle of baby corn.…”

The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications of each twenty treatment combinations consisting of four fertility levels and five secondary and micronutrient levels. Integrated nutrient management exhibited significant effect on growth, yield attributes and yield of baby corn. Application of 75 % RDF+vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 +mixed bio-fertilizers recorded the highest plant height, number of leaves plant-1 , LAI , dry matter accumulation of baby corn at harvest along with yield baby corn (1.50 t ha-1) and green forage (26.03 t ha-1). Application of 40 kg S ha-1 +5 kg Zn ha-1 +2.5 kg B ha-1 has resulted in significant increase in yield components such as number of corns plant-1 , length and girth of baby corn, baby corn weight along with yield of baby corn (1.54 t ha-1) and green forage (26.17 t ha-1). The highest net return (` 77921 ha-1) and B: C ratio of 3.07 were registered in 75% RDF+vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + mixed bio-fertilizers. Application of 40 kg S ha-1 +5 kg Zn ha-1 +2.5 kg B ha-1 resulted in highest net return (` 81217 ha-1) and B: C ratio of 3.13.

A field experiment was conducted to optimise the organic, inorganic and biofertiliser needs for sustained productivity of maize (Zea mays L.). Seven treatments comprising all possible combinations of chemical fertilizer, organic manure (vermicompost, FYM) with and without biofertilizer (Azospirillum and PSB) were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Different nutrient management practices (organic, inorganic and combined sources of nutrients) significantly influenced the yield attributes, yield and economics of maize crop. Application of 100 % RDF (T1:180-60-50 kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha -1 ) resulted in significantly higher cob length, girth (17.7 cm, 16.8 cm), cob weight (225 g), no. of kernel rows cob -1 (12.9), no. of kernels row -1 (24.2), kernel weight cob -1 (5207 kg ha -1 ), kernel yield (5207 kg ha -1 ) and stover yield (6751 kg ha -1 ) which was significantly superior over the rest of the nutrient management practices and it was followed by 50% RDF + Vermicompost @ 1t ha -1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha -1 + PSB @ 5 kg ha -1 (T7) and it has given a remarkable yield attributes, kernel (4683 kg ha -1 ) and stover yield (6394 kg ha -1 ) which is in turn in parity with 50% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha -1 +PSB @ 5 kg ha -1 (T6) and significantly superior to rest of the treatments. The highest net returns (₹ 59920 ha -1 ) and benefit -cost ratio (2.97) were recorded under 100% RDF (T1) followed by application of FYM @ 10 t ha -1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha -1 + PSB @ 5 kg ha -1 (T6) which has registered a B:C ratio of 2.81 which might be due to comparatively better increase in yield with lesser cost over other treatments. Integration of biofertilizer (T6 and T7) has triggered the nutrient uptake mechanism and shown a notable performance in improving yield structures, yield and economics. Long run adoption of combined use of fertilizers and organics expected to match and even excel the sole fertilizer based production strategy.

“…Moreover, application of bio fertilizer with NPK fertilizer increases the efficiency of inorganic fertilizer by 50% as observed by Mukhlis and Lestari, 2013. The favourable effect of NPK with organic manure (FYM and vermicompost) and biofertilizer in sweet corn has been reported by several workers (Harish et al 2012;Shobana and Imyavaramban 2012;Rasool et al 2015;Singh et al 2018 andRathod et al 2018). Therefore, the present experiment was carried out with various proportion of NPK levels combined with different organic sources and mixed microbial inoculants of Azotobacter, Azospirillum and phosphorus solubilising bacteria with an aim to find out a suitable location specific nutrient management strategy for sweet corn in southern parts of Odisha, India.…”

and Management during summer, 2018. The soil was sandy loam in texture, slightly acidic in reaction (pH 6.8) and low in available N (158.83 kg /ha) and P 2 O 5 (10.82 kg /ha) and medium in available K 2 O (147.67 kg/ha). The randomized complete block design was adopted with three replications for testing 8 treatments. They were consisted of 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (DF) @ 120-60-60 kg of N-P 2 O 5-K 2 O /ha), 100% RDF + bio fertilizer consortia (Azotobactor + Azosporillum + phosphobacter) @15 kg/ha, 50 % recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through farm yard manure (FYM) + 50 % RDF + bio fertilizer consortia (BFC) @15 kg/ha, 50 % RDN through vermi compost (VC) + 50% RDF + BFC @15 kg/ha, 75 % RDF + 25 % RDN through FYM, 75 % RDF + 25 % RDN through VC, 75 % RDF + 25 % RDN through FYM + BFC @15 kg/ha and 75 % RDF + 25 % RDN through VC + BFC @15 kg/ha. The yield attributes such as number of cobs/plant, cob length, cob girth and cob weight along with green cob and forage yield were remarkably influenced by integrated nutrient management treatments. Application of 75 % RDF + 25 % RDN (VC) + BFC @15 kg/ha recorded the highest yield attributes and green cob (12.01 t/ha) and fodder (` 16.52 t/ha) yield. It was followed by 100 % RDF + BFC @15 kg/ha producing the green cob and forage yield of 11.67 and 16.17 t/ha, respectively. The maximum net return (Rs. 164206/ ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.92) was obtained with integration of 100 % RFD (120-60-60 kg of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O /ha) and BFC (Azotobactobacter + Azosporillum + posphobacter) @15 kg/ha. Highlights m The conjugated use of 75 % RDF + 25 % RDN (VC) + BFC @15 kg/ha markedly increaed the yield attributes and green cob (12.01 t/ha) and fodder (16.52 t/ha) yield followed by 100 % RDF + BFC @15 kg/ha producing the green cob and forage yield of 11.67 and 16.17 t/ha, respectively. m The highest net return (Rs164206/ ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.92) was registered with integration of 100 % RFD (120-60-60 kg of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O /ha) and biofertilizer consortia (Azotobactobacter + Azosporillum + posphobacter) @15 kg/ha.
