“…The present results agree with those obtained by (Nofal & Silem, 2003) who found that FYM application did not significantly affected this trait. On the other hand, (Kandil et al, 2020;Zapałowska & Jarecki, 2024) obtained significant increase in number of grains/ear due to application of animal manures.…”

A field study on maize growth in sandy soils found that applying 5 tons/fad of compost significantly enhanced plant growth and grain yield. Increasing the nitrogen (N) rate up to 135 kg N/fad also, led to a notable increase in plant and grain yield and resulted in early flowering. The application of phosphorus and potassium (PK) at a rate of 15.5 kg P2O5 + 48 kg K2O/fad led to early flowering and significantly increased grain yield. Furthermore, the application of PK fertilizer led to an increase in the nitrogen and phosphorus content of grains in both growing seasons. The concentration of proline, which serves as an endogenous osmoprotectant against biotic stress, also increased. The suggested PK fertilizer level (15.5 kg P2O5 + 48 kg K2O/fad) resulted in a notable rise in the CP% in grains. The research further revealed that the uptake of nitrogen in grains increased in response to higher nitrogen levels, with the maximum nitrogen utilization efficiency being 25.11 kg of grains/ kilogram of applied nitrogen.

“…The research gap of the by Zapałowska and Jarecki (2024) is that there is a lack of information on the specific effects of different types of compost on corn growth and yield. While there are studies on the effects of compost on other plants and soils, there is a need for research focused on corn specifically.…”

Corn (Zea mays) is one of the important food crops in Indonesia. Efforts to increase corn production continue to be made, one of which is by using appropriate fertilizer. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the combination of AB Mix and NPK fertilizers on the growth of corn (Zea mays) plants using the NFT hydroponic system. This study used qualitative research methods. The data collection technique in this research is literature study, while data analysis is carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The findings from the research show that the use of a combination of AB mix and NPK fertilizers in the growth of corn (Zea mays) using the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) technique has a significant impact. Using these two types of fertilizer together increases the growth of corn plants by increasing plant height, number of leaves, and development of the root system. In addition, with optimal nutrient availability from the fertilizer combination through the NFT technique, corn production is increased efficiently. The findings show the potential for using a combination of AB mix and NPK fertilizers in increasing agricultural yields.

In the era of the intensive use of mineral fertilizers, which results in a negative impact on the natural environment, it is necessary to use agrotechnical practices that use the potential of biodegradable waste. The physicochemical properties of the substrate after mushroom cultivation (SMS—spent mushroom substrate) mean that this waste can be a safe and cheap source of ingredients for crops. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different doses of mineral fertilizers and SMS on the yield of two grass species, the nitrogen content in their biomass, and its uptake and use efficiency, as well as its accumulation in the soil. This research was based on a three-year (2017–2019) experiment that was conducted in bottomless pots in field conditions at the experimental facility of the University of Siedlce, Poland. The SMS was used together with mineral fertilization in various proportions. Two forage grass species were tested: Dactylis glomerata and Phleum pratense. In each year, three harvests of the cultivated grasses were collected. The introduction into the soil of the medium dose of the SMS nitrogen, supplemented annually with the medium dose of mineral nitrogen (SMS2 + N2PK), resulted in the greatest yield of the grasses (19.98 g·pot−1), as well as its greatest uptake (410.2 g·pot−1) and use efficiency (105%). The highest content of nitrogen (21.60 g·kg−1) was in the plants treated with the smallest dose of the SMS and supplemented with the greatest dose of the mineral nitrogen (SMS1 + N3PK). The greatest dose of the SMS nitrogen, applied with the smallest amount of the mineral nitrogen (SMS3 + N1PK), resulted in the most (1.70 g·kg−1) nitrogen accumulation in the soil.
