“…The combined application of farm manure and mineral fertilizer could induce an increase in the humus content, nitrogen, and available phosphorus and potassium levels (Gondek andFilipek-Mazur 2005, Verma et al 2012). As a result of an increase in nutrient level of soil, a significant effect (P ≤ 0.05) on yield per hectare was determined (Milosevic and Milosevic 2009). Our results are also in agreement with Matula and Pechová (2007).…”

Combined application of organic and inorganic amendments was known to play a significant role in improvement of soil properties. A field experiment was conducted to explore the effects of gypsum, farmyard manure and commercial humic acid application on the amelioration of salt affected (saline sodic) soil. During this study, soil pH, electrical conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio, responses of root length and rice paddy yield were examined. Application of gypsum with or without farm manure and commercial humic acid decreased soil pH (8.26%), electrical conductivity (from 6.35 dS/m to 2.65 dS/m) and sodium adsorption ratio (from 26.56 to 11.60), and increased root length (from 9.17 cm to 22.6 cm) and paddy yield (from 695.7 kg/ha to 1644 kg/ha). A negative but significant correlation was observed between root length and electrical conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio (r = -0.93; -0.94, respectively, P ≤ 0.05), whereas positive and significant correlation with paddy yield (r = 0.96; P ≤ 0.05).

“…also observed improved soil water content and temperature changes in the root zone area of high density guava cultivation under subtropical climatic condition. Moreover, Milosevic & Milosevic (2009) also observed that applications ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ of inorganic fertilisers along with organic manures enhanced the nutrient use efficiency ensuring better vegetative growth of trees, higher yields and quality of apple fruits. …”

The goal of this study was to assess the influence of different organic fertilisers -vermicompost, mulching, Azotobacter, phosphate solubilising microbes (PSM) and Trichoderma harzianum added each year to mineral fertilisers containing NPK and to farmyard manure (FYM) on leaf nutrient status, tree growth, fruit yield and quality of guava grown in low fertile soil. The results revealed that vermicompost, bio-fertilisers and organic mulching resulted in yield and fruit quality boosters, as compared to application of NPK and FYM as the only organic fertiliser. Significant differences in plant height, canopy spread and stem girth of guava plants were obtained in combination, where Azotobacter, T. harzianum, PSM and organic mulching were applied. The leaf nutrient contents (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn) were within sufficient ranges. Fruit yields and quality were highest in combination, where vermicompost, Azotobacter, T. harzianum, PSM and organic mulching was applied. Fruit quality parameters viz. soluble solid concentration, titratable acidity, total sugars and ascorbic acid showed positive correlation with the available macro-and micronutrients in the soil.

“…Zeolite also improved soil aggregate, prevented moisture content, induced soil remedy from heavy metal-acidic soil pollutant (Jakab, S. & Jakab, A., 2010). The application of zeolite for vegetative growth and yield improvement has also been reported in apple (Milosevic & Milosevic, 2009), corn (Ippolito, Tarkalson, & Lehrsch, 2011 and kale (Brassica albograbra) (Li, Wee, & Sohn, 2013).…”

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) application in combination with other antagonist microbes as biopesticide have been considered in many crops. Our research was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of these useful combinations with the carrying agent for growth promotion, thus lowering white rust incidence in chrysanthemum production. The experiment was carried out at three cooperative farmer sites located in Cipanas, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia from January to December 2016. The production process was arranged in a paired treatment; a combination of PGPR and antagonist fungi (without supplemental chemical fertilizers and fungicide), furtherly called biofungicide and common farmer practices. The results showed that the application of biofungicide promoted equal plant growth quality as common practices. White rust incidency was lower at biofungicide treatment sites, thus increased the markertable flowers quantity. The production cost was considered more efficient in biofungicide sites, due to cheaper price of biofungicide than chemical fertilizers and fungicide. The increase of marketable stalks and cost efficiency led to an increase of net income of biofungicide based production as also viewed from higher Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C) than common farmer practices.
