“…The improvement in soil environmental condition resulted in higher proliferation of plant roots, which helped plants to draw water and nutrients from larger area and deeper layers and thus owing to higher nutrients availability, production of more photosynthates and their translocation to different plant parts resulted in increased vegetative growth. These findings are in accordance with the results of [11][12][13][14][15]. Growth promotion activities might be due to the synthesis of phytohormones, N 2fixation, synthesis of some enzymes such as 1aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase that regulate the levels of plant hormones (lowers the plant ethylene levels under certain stress conditions and helps in the efficacious functioning of the PGPR) , as well as the solubilisation of inorganic phosphates and mineralisation of organic phosphates, which makes phosphorus available to the plants as the finding confirmed by Rodriguez and Fraga [16].…”

This study was conducted during Rabi 2017-18 under net house condition, to evaluate the synergistic effects of vermicompost and beneficial microbes on pea plants. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replication and fifteen treatments. The result indicated that among all treatment, a treatment V4 was found to be best in terms of all growth parameters and plant defense-related compounds. The treatment combination of M1V3 has given best results followed by treatment M2V2. The results from this experiment demonstrated the strong synergistic effects between vermicompost and two microbes, as they improved the soil nutrients status by supporting growth and development of plants by producing growth hormones and also protected the plants from diseases by enhancing the production of defense - related compounds.

“…Panda et al [35] observed that the use of beneficial bacteria and organic amendments not only improves the growth, yield, nodulation and profitability of cowpea but also restores soil health. They also concluded that organic amendments were at least as good as the control (recommended RDF) in respect to yield and profitability.…”

There are many management methods for nutrient which can be specifically applied in farming systems. Integrated nutrient management (INM) generally denotes the combined use of organic and chemical fertilizers for producing crops in a sustainable manner and to maintain soil fertility as well as to supply nutrient in appropriate amount which consider social, ecological and economic impacts. This paper shows the importance and need of INM in agriculture production. Also, the relation of INM and yield attributes are analyzed and evaluated including growth and physical attributes of cowpea. The status of nutrient uptake by plant is also described along with other physical and chemical properties of soil. Finally, this paper also describes about the biofertilizer and its relation, impact and effect on crop production which can be used as a improved technology with the combination of other nutrient management practices.

“…However, mixed responses have been reported for applications of organic manures for vegetable production. Vermicompost, cow dung, poultry manure, neem cake, mustard cake were found effective in the production of cowpea and yield was as good as those found with inorganic fertilizer application [14]. Lettuce yield increased under organic amendment application compare to unfertilized soil [15].…”

Production of safe food through organic farming while maintaining soil sustainability is the crucial challenge of recent time. As such a pot experiment was conducted using animal manure (TAM), neem-cake (TNC), vermicompost (TVC), biochar (TBC) and urea (TU) with control (TC) to assess their capacity to stimulate Spinacia oleracea growth under field condition and their impact on soil fertility. Six treatments: TC, TAM, TNC, TVC, TBC, TU with three replications were used in completely randomized design (CRD). All the plant growth parameters were measured at regular interval up to maturity. Complete chemical analysis of plant tissue, amendments and soil was carried out. Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) under different treatments was calculated at 45 and 60 days. All the treatments showed statistically significant (P < 0.001) increase in yield over control and urea. The highest plant height (24 cm), leaf area index (0.154), and dry weight (1254 kg/ha) were found at TNC which increased respectively 132%, 258%, 450% over control and 125%, 431%, 448% over urea. TVC was the second best treatment followed by TBC for plant growth. NUE was significantly (P < 0.001) higher in treatment TVC than any other treatments and was higher at maturity than vegetative state. TNC had lower NUE than TVC and TBC but the inherent N content was higher in TNC than TVC and TBC. Uptake of certain macro nutrients showed significant (P < 0.05
