“…Sia et al [187] found that amending inorganic fertilizers with rice straw compost increased soil pH, total N, available P, exchangeable K, and improved soil nutrient availability, nutrient uptake, and dry matter production of maize. Pangaribuan et al [188] recommended using enriched rice straw compost for small scale agriculture systems in red acid Ultisol soil because it resulted in better vegetative growth and yield than enriched oil palm empty fruit bunch compost. Suan et al [189] observed a significant increase in soil pH and available P with oil palm fly ash treatments and a significant increase in exchangeable cations (K, Mg).…”

Modern sweet corn is distinguished from other vegetable corns by the presence of one or more recessive alleles within the maize endosperm starch synthesis pathway. This results in reduced starch content and increased sugar concentration when consumed fresh. Fresh sweet corn originated in the USA and has since been introduced in countries around the World with increasing popularity as a favored vegetable choice. Several reviews have been published recently on endosperm genetics, breeding, and physiology that focus on the basic biology and uses in the US. However, new questions concerning sustainability, environmental care, and climate change, along with the introduction of sweet corn in other countries have produced a variety of new uses and research activities. This review is a summary of the sweet corn research published during the five years preceding 2021.

“…In treatments involving the application of urban solid waste compost, the elevated yield resulted from the augmented availability of plant nutrients, enhancements in soil physico-chemical properties and a reduction in the wastage of applied nutrients. Notably, a parallel increase in maize yield due to the utilization of urban kitchen waste compost was observed by Naderi and Ghadiri [6].…”

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a crucial global crop, vital for food security and diverse applications. Maize cultivation heavily depends on fertilizers, particularly nitrogen-based ones and their widespread use poses risks like nutrient runoff, causing pollution and economic challenges. Balancing growth optimization with environmental/economic considerations requires optimizing fertilizer application and sustainable practices. This study aims to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers by replacing them with microbial-enriched urban compost and wastes in various combinations with inorganic fertilizers to enhance maize yields. A treatment incorporating 75% NPK + 7.5 t ha-1 of microbial-enriched urban solid waste compost demonstrated the highest plant height, leaf count, cob length, kernel yield, and stover yield. The combined use of enriched compost and chemical fertilizers resulted in increased nutrient availability, improved soil properties, and a favorable microbial environment, contributing to enhanced overall yield.

“…Sweet corn is in great demand because it has a sweet taste when consumed and is currently increasingly popular [3]. Farmers consider cultivating sweet corn is very profitable because it has a short production life and a relatively high price, so it can provide greater profits.…”

Demand for sweet corn occurs drastically, especially in big cities. One of the limiting factors for the growth of sweet corn plants is the size of the plant population and the nutrient status of the soil. Based on this, it is necessary to increase the yield of sweet corn, among others, by setting the right spacing and applying organic granular fertilizer at the right dose as a source of nutrients. The study was conducted in Mandai, Maros, and South Sulawesi using a randomized block design in factorial. Plant spacing is the first factor (J1=70x20 cm; J2=70x30 cm; J3=70x40 cm). The level of application of granular organic fertilizer is the second factor (G1= 1 t ha-1; G2=2 t ha−1; G3=3 t ha−1). The use of plant spacing and the application of granular organic fertilizers had no significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, cob diameter, or number of rows per cob, but had a significant effect. on the parameters of cob length, cob weight without husk, the weight of 100 grains, number of seeds per row, and yield potential of sweet corn. In general, the best growth and yield of sweet corn was obtained at a spacing of 70 x 20 cm with the application of granular organic fertilizer (GOF) 3 t ha-1, namely 12.81 t ha−1.
