“…Furthermore, it improves soil biometric parameters, directly adds nutrients, solubilises native phosphate content in the soil (Das et al, 2002) and augments nutrient use efficiency (Lakpale et al, 1999). RHA and PPC contain substantial amounts of nutrients and utilizing them in FYM/ compost preparation encrich the quality and on application release the nutrients for easier uptake by the crop plants (da Silva et al, 2020;Joshi et al, 2020;Hisham and Ramli, 2021;Nepal et al, 2021). These combined effects lead to increased concentrations of N, P, and K in babycorn, kabuli gram and vegetable cowpea crops.…”

The preparation of enriched formulation by integrating of agricultural wastes such as paddy husk ash (PHA) and potato peel with organic fertilizer such as farmyard manure (FYM), compost can enrich the soil with essential plant nutrients, leading to higher yields in subsequent crops and potentially reducing the dependence on farmyard manure/compost alone. However, there is lack of adequate research findings regarding the impact of different formulations generated from agricultural waste on productivity, nutrient utilization efficiency and profitability of baby corn-kabuli gram-vegetable cowpea cropping system. Therefore, a two-year field experiment (2020–2022) was conducted ICAR-IARI, New Delhi with baby corn-kabuli gram-vegetable cowpea cropping system. Seven nutrient sources were tested in Randomized Block Design and replicate thrice.The results showed that treatment T4 (100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through PHA based formulation) had significant effect on crop yield grown in rotation, followed by treatment T6 (100% RDN through potato peel compost (PPC) based formulation) and T2 (100% RDN through FYM). The increase in yield was 75.0, 44.3 and 33.1% during first year and 72.6, 45.9 and 31.0% during second year, respectively, over control. Treatment T4 also significantly enhanced system uptake of N, P and K as well as system gross returns and net returns, resulting in 65.6, 84.9, 69.5, 50.7 and 55.2% higher returns during first year and 68.6, 80.5, 73.9, 50.0 and 54.2% higher returns during second year, respectively, over control. Furthermore, treatment T4 significantly improved agronomic nitrogen use efficiency and apparent recovery by 151.6 and 2.0% in baby corn, 74.2 and 1.5% in kabuli gram, 55.7 and 13.9% in veg cowpea over T7, respectively, averaged across two years of study. Based on these results, it is recommended to adopt (T4) 100% RDN through PHA based formulation, and (T6) 100% RDN through PPC based formulation in the area with a shortage of FYM but with the availability of rice husk ash or pototo peels for sustainable utilization of the agricultural wastes and improving the agricultural sustainability.

“…Faria et al (2013) evaluated the use of organic residues in the growth of Mimosa setosa seedlings, where substrates formulated with sewage sludge, carbonized rice husk, and fresh coffee straw in a ratio of 8: 1: 1 provided the best results for the morphological characteristics of plants. Silva et al (2020) evaluated the development of sugarcane seedlings (Saccharum officinarum) and found that media formulated with equal proportions of solarized sewage sludge, rice husk ash, and vermiculite showed the best agronomic performance, while high doses of solarized sewage sludge (87.5%) caused damage to the initial development of seedlings.…”

“…Due to the high levels of organic matter and essential elements for plant growth, sewage sludge has considerable advantages for agricultural use (Nobrega et al, 2017;Silva et al, 2020). Potential risks from pathogens may be overcome by inactivation by heating, lime stabilization, or composting.…”

“…These compounds can aid in the regulation of processes such as water and nutrient availability, root aeration, and root anchorage, resulting in environmental benefits when compared to traditional disposal practices. Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of sewage sludge combined with locally available residues to provide efficient substrates for improved growth of sugarcane (Silva et al, 2020), acacia (Monteiro et al, 2021), eucalyptus (Manca et al, 2020), tomato (Cristina et al, 2020), and lettuce (Pereira et al, 2020;Monteiro et al, 2020a).…”

“…It is also to consider the subsidence potency regarding the sustainability of the cultivation systems [11]. Since organic soil has limitations on mineral nutrients, additional nutrients are required to support plant growth and development, both as foliar applications [12] or soil incorporation to promote root absorption [13,14,15].…”

Probably effective application of fly ash granules for ameliorants on sugarcane has not been meaningful reported in tropical agricultural systems and no exact results have not been established. The experiment was arranged from January 2014 up to May 2015 at IPB Bogor, Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the improvement level of additional fly ash granules as soil ameliorants on peat soil in sugar cane cultivation compared to the application of dolomite. The experiment used a complete randomized block design in sub-optimal peat soil. There were five levels of treatment at 50 kg peat soil weight at polybag as the following: without the addition of ameliorant as control (C0) at pH=4.0; Mixing with fly ash granule at pH 6.0 (C1); Mixing with fly ash granule at pH 7.0 (C2); Mixing with dolomite at pH 7.0 (D1), Mixing with dolomite at pH 6.0 (D2). The fly ash granule and dolomite application at a starting value of pH 6.0 or pH 7.0 exposed reliable impact to maintain the pH value of peat soil at least for one year during the growth of the sugarcane plant biomass until harvest. The application of fly ash granule at the starting value of pH 6.0 showed a better effect on plant growth biomass and was sufficient to ameliorate the peat soil to achieve the optimum sugar yield. More than this application rate would be luxurious, it causes no increase in sugar production.
