Optimal utilization of limited resources, such as water and feed in beef and dairy cattle farms, is considered important. Considering that Indonesia aim to boost production to meet increasing demands, the lack of information of resource usage in this industry impedes the formulation of effective strategies for increasing production responsibly. Therefore, this study aims to bridge the information gap to enable sustainable development in the form of water and feed productivity analysis in beef and dairy farms. We interviewed farm owners and measured water use and feed consumption from various cattle farms in Bandung Regency. We found that beef cattle are more efficient in converting feed into produce (0.59 kg beef/kg feed) than dairy cattle (0.335 kg milk/ kg feed). However, beef cattle have lower water productivity (0.0297 kg beef/L) than dairy cattle (0.08 kg milk/L) excluding the water requirement for growing feed. In the case of adding water usage for growing grass feed with, the water productivity significantly reduced to 0.0023 kg beef/L and 0.0031 kg milk/L. Based on calculations, additional water intake is needed for beef and milk production, especially for growing cattle feed that cannot be met solely through rainwater and reuse of greywater.

“…Then 0.1 mL of serial dilution sample from each dilution was spread to respective Petri plates and incubated at 37˚C for 24 h. After 24 h the bacterial colonies that is, the colony forming unit (CFU) were counted (Sethi et al, 2019). Likewise sterile Rose Bengal agar plates were prepared for fungi population and incubated for 48 h in 28˚C temperature (Sethi et al, 2019) and sterile actinomycetes isolation agar (AIA) medium was prepared for actinomycetes population and incubated at 28˚C for 72 h (Patra et al, 2022). Determination of dehydrogenase activity in the soil samples was done by using 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride and triphenylformazon (TPF) reagent following the procedure as described by Casida et al (1964).…”

A field study was conducted at the Instructional Farm, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, on exploring productivity and soil quality of aromatic rice‐green gram system by dual influence of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients. Among integrated nutrient management practices, 50% NPK + 50% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN)‐farm yard manure (FYM) to rice produced the highest grain yield (3875 kg ha−1) followed by 75% NPK+ green manure (GM; 3489 kg ha−1). Likewise, residual effect of 50% NPK + 50% RDN‐FYM to rice and application of 75% NPK+ Rhizobium+ phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to green gram produced the highest seed yield of green gram (812 kg ha−1).Combined application of 50% NPK+ 50% RDN− FYM to rice and 75% NPK + Rhizobium+ PSB to green gram resulted in significantly (p = 0.05) higher system rice equivalent yield (6521 kg ha−1) and production efficiency (31.2 kg ha−1 day−1) while increasing the nutrient uptake of short grain aromatic rice‐green gram system. The highest PFPN (132.7 ± 12.4 kg kg−1) and nitrogen uptake efficiency (0.73 ± 0.06 kg kg−1) were also recorded due to the application of 50% NPK+ 50% RDN‐FYM to rice and 75% NPK + Rhizobium + PSB to green gram (99.0 ± 26.3 kg kg−1, 0.61 ± 0.01 kg kg−1, 1.32 ± 0.40, and 19.5 ± 2.9, respectively). Application of 75% NPK+ GM to rice and 75% NPK + Rhizobium + PSB to green gram significantly (p = 0.05) increased soil organic carbon, available N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu as well as microbial status of soil.

“…Sabourifard et al [42] achieved the highest yield of corn seeds through the use of urea and vermicompost, whereas manure fertilization resulted in the highest content of oil and linolenic acid in the seeds. Numerous authors [43][44][45] advocate composting or vermicomposting, employing earthworms such as Eisenia fetida as the most effective means of managing organic waste. Patra et al [43] investigated five distinct waste types-leaf litter (Tectona grandis), water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), cauliflower waste (Brassica oleracea var.…”

The cultivation of corn holds immense importance as a foundational global grain crop, catering to human sustenance and serving as vital animal feed. Moreover, corn plays a substantial role in biofuel production. Additionally, cultivating corn can have a positive effect on crop rotation by improving soil quality and reducing erosion. In a pot trial using six distinct compost variations derived from different organic wastes as fertilizers for GS210 corn, specific indices, such as Fv/Fm (0.80, 0.80, 0.81), Fv/F0 (4.07, 3.99, 4.03), PI (4.62, 4.22, 5.21), and RC/ABS (1.71, 1.68, 2.01), exhibited the highest values. Interestingly, mineral fertilization with NPK displayed significant benefits on various growth parameters like plant height (188.9 cm), cob length (17.50 cm), grains per cob (324.0), and thousand-grain weight (MTZ) (285.2). The difference in the cob grain count between NPK mineral fertilization and the control reached 168.5 grains, which was statistically confirmed. Furthermore, the grain’s protein content notably increased with mineral fertilization (9.5) compared to the control (8.5). While organic fertilizers showed lower outcomes (9.1–9.3) than NPK mineral fertilization, they generally outperformed the control (8.5). This prompts the need for future studies to assess the effectiveness of individual organic fertilizers in combination with mineral nitrogen fertilization.
