The field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Oilseeds Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (Maharashtra) to study the effect of fertilizer and soil amendment on soil fertility and yield groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and nine treatments. The pooled data revealed that the application of gypsum and phosphogypsum did not influence significantly the soil pH, EC, organic carbon and calcium carbonate content. However, the fertility status of soil in terms of available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur as well as exchangeable calcium, magnesium was found significantly higher with the application of RDF-sulfur free + 400 kg phosphogypsum ha-1. The available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, exchangeable calcium and magnesium contents were increased by 10, 23, 7, 122, 42, and 14% with RDF-sulphur free + 400 kg phosphogypsum ha-1 as compared to control, respectively. Significantly higher pod (2.0 t ha-1) and haulm yield (2.5 t ha-1) of groundnut was observed with RDF-sulphur free + 400 kg phosphogypsum ha-1. Similarly, the oil and protein contents were also increased with phosphogypsum level and maximum oil (51%) and protein (29.4%) contents were observed with RDF-sulphur free + 400 kg phosphogypsum ha-1 treatment. This treatment was statistically at par in terms of soil fertility, yield, oil and protein content of groundnut with RDF-sulphur free + 300 kg phosphogypsum ha-1.

“…Gypsum application improves the physical, chemical and biological properties of saline-sodic soils ultimately enhancing crop production on sustainable basis (Walia and Dick, 2016). Calcium (Ca) from gypsum in salinesodic soil decreases volatilization loss of ammonium (NH 4 + ) from the applications of NH 4 NO 3 , (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 , (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 or ammonium phosphates fertilizers (Arshad, 1999).…”

It is critical to determine nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to find to which extent higher rates of nitrogen can improve crop yield with effective management practices. Two-year field experiments were conducted to investigate yield and NUE of rice-wheat cropping system on saline-sodic soil. Treatments included were two nitrogen (N) application rates, i.e. 15% (N 115 ) and 30% (N 130 ) higher than the recommended rates for normal soil, along with gypsum at the rates of 50% (SGR 50 ) and 100% (SGR 100 ) of soil gypsum requirement. Results revealed relatively highest NO 3 -leaching for rice (161 and 145 mg L -1 ) and for wheat (97 and 93 mg L -1 ) during 2011-12 and 2012-13, respectively in N 130 + SGR 100 . In this treatment, crop yield and NUE were the highest as compared to the other combinations. This resulted in reduction of yield gap by two-fold (53% to 26%) between saline-sodic and normal soils for rice-wheat. Interestingly, N 130 + SGR 100 proved most effective during the first year, however, N 100 + SGR 100 became more profitable in the subsequent year. Pearson correlation coefficients predicted significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) of yield and NUE with soil organic matter, cation exchange capacity and infiltration rate while inverse relationship was observed with electrical conductivity, pH, CaCO 3 , and bulk density. Based on data, it is concluded that the recommended N application together with SGR 100 would be environmental-friendly and economically viable option for rice-wheat cropping system in saline-sodic soils.

“…A Wooster silt loam soil (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic Typic Fragiudalfs) and a Hoytville clay loam soil (fine, illitic, mesic Mollic Epiaqualfs) were collected from the top 30 cm as two contrasting soils from university farms located near Wooster and Custar, Ohio, USA, respectively in the summer of 2013. Each soil type was screened through a 2-mm mesh sieve and then mixed thoroughly before selected soil properties were measured before the experiment initiation ( Table 1 ) [ 46 , 51 , 52 ]. Soil properties measured were soil pH using a 1:1 ratio of soil: deionized water [ 53 ], texture using hydrometer method [ 54 ], total C and N using high-temperature combustion [ 19 ], Bray P-1 [ 55 ], and exchangeable bases (Ca, K, and Mg) with 1 M NH 4 OAC [ 56 ].…”

“…Global change has altered temperature, precipitation, N availability, and many other environmental factors [ 49 , 50 ], and these changes are likely to have a great impact on soil C. An accurate quantification of soil organic C and soil inorganic C stocks are of fundamental interest to more accurately predict future soil C dynamics. Recent studies have documented the importance of crop residue, readily available C (i.e., glucose), and gypsum additions to soil on its physical and chemical properties [ 46 , 51 ]. However, little is known about the combined effects of crop residue, glucose, and gypsum on total soil C and its fractions.…”

Carbon sequestration as influenced by management practices such as soil amendments is not yet fully understood. Gypsum and crop residues can improve soil properties, but few studies have focused on their combined effect on soil C fractions. The objective of this greenhouse study was to determine how treatments affected different forms of C, i.e., total C, permanganate oxidizable C (POXC), and inorganic C in 5 soil layers (0–2, 2–4, 4–10, 10–25, and 25–40 cm). Treatments were glucose (4.5 Mg ha-1), crop residues (13.4 Mg ha-1), gypsum (26.9 Mg ha-1) and an untreated control. Treatments were applied to two contrasting soil types in Ohio (USA)—Wooster silt loam and Hoytville clay loam. The C measurements were made one year after the treatment applications. Total C and POXC contents were significantly higher in Hoytville soil as compared to Wooster soil (P < 0.05). Across both Wooster and Hoytville soils, the addition of glucose increased total C significantly by 7.2% and 5.9% only in the top 2 cm and 4 cm layers of soil, respectively, compared to the control treatment, and residue additions increased total C from 6.3–9.0% in various soil layers to a depth of 25 cm. Gypsum addition did not affect total C concentrations significantly. Glucose addition resulted in a significant increase in calcium carbonate equivalent concentrations in the top 10 cm of Hoytville soil only, and gypsum addition significantly (P < 0.10) increased inorganic C, as calcium carbonate equivalent, in the lowest layer of the Hoytville soil by 32% compared to the control. The combination of glucose and gypsum increased inorganic C levels in Hoytville soils by creating sufficient amounts of CO2 that then reacted with Ca within the soil profile. This increase in inorganic C represents an additional way C can be sequestered in soil.
