“…Application of 100 percent NPK through inorganic fertilizers along with 6.25 t ha -1 dhaincha found out from resulted in higher nutrient uptake in crop, greater soil available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic carbon in soil. This effect was followed in application of 100% N through dhaincha + balance P and K through inorganic fertilizers [93]. Green manuring enhanced boron and iron content of soil.…”

Green manuring with inclusion of legumes is the most feasible option to fix atmospheric nitrogen up to 80-100 kg of nitrogen in 45-60 days. They are easily decomposable improving soil organic carbon, nutrient availability, physicochemical and biological properties of soil, and crop productivity and hence can be used as a substrate in the form of dry powder in soilless culture. The scope of utilizing organic materials for crop production remains viable in recent years particularly in containerized crop production. Soilless culture as a crop production system could solve global issues such as the shortage of water, environmental pollution and instability of ecological system in various ways providing optimum environmental medium for crop growth in order to gain maximum yield and high quality products. Henceforth, less land area is required for agriculture production system resulting in increased land productivity. With this background, this review projects to maximize the utilization of the properties of green manures as an alternative grow-media substrate in the emerging soilless cultivation system.

“…Similarly, out of the total world rice production of 701 million tons, Asia contributes approximately 633.7 million tons. The slogan 'Rice is life' is most appropriate for India as this crop plays a vital role in our food security and is a mean of livelihood for millions of rural households (Ajaykumar et al, 2016). In India, more than 44 million hectares of land is occupied by rice under three major ecosystems, rainfed uplands (16%), irrigated medium lands (45%) and rainfed lowland (39%), with a productivity of 0.87, 2.24 and 1.55 tons ha -1 , respectively (Tiwari et al, 2013).…”

To develop fertilizer prescription equations based on soil test crop response (STCR) approach for rice-rice cropping sequence, trials were conducted at farmer’s field in Karikalampakkam village, U.T. of Puducherry, during 2015-16. Soil test data, yield and nutrient uptake by successive crops were recorded to calculate four basic parameters viz. nutrient required to produce one quintal of rice, contribution of nutrients from fertilizers, contribution of nutrients from soil and contribution of nutrients from FYM used in developing STCR based fertilizer prescription equations. The per cent nutrient contribution of nutrients from soil (CS), fertilizer ( CF) and FYM (CFYM) were found to be 19.15, 45.90 and 23.27 for N, 12.13,40.16 and 26.98 for P2O5 and 13.76, 79.64 and 41.07 for K2O respectively for rice cv. White ponni. The same for the rice cv.ADT 45 were 13.48, 40.46 and 34.26 for N, 15.81, 44.64 and 19.89 for P2O5 and 10.48, 58.64 and 41.51 for K2O respectively. Based on fertilizer prescription equations and nomograms formulated for a range of soil test values and desired yield target for the cropping sequence. It was revealed that under the treatment NPK + FYM @ 12.5 t ha- 1 , 47, 29 and 34 kg ha- 1 for rice cv.White ponni and 41 , 22 and 27 kg ha- 1 for rice cv.ADT 45 of fertilizer N , P2O5 and K2O, respectively could be saved for attaining target yield of 70 q ha- 1 compared to NPK fertilizers alone.
