“…Other report also confirmed that after 16 to 24 weeks after compost application, there was only less than 10% of nitrogen content get mineralized (Hartz, Mitchell, & Giannini, 2000). Mukhlis & Lestari (2013), for example, combined the use of biofertilizer with NPK to increase growth of sweet corn. Maswar & Soelaeman (2016) combined the use of solid organic fertilizer with NPK to maintain sustainable yields of maize grain.…”

Solid organic fertilizer is commonly applied for organic vegetable production in a closed agriculture production system as nutrient source. However, its availability is considered slow to sweet corn, and thus it is important to make additional nutrients supply as liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) through leaves. The experiments were conducted to compare effects of LOF application methods and to determine optimum LOF concentrations for sweet corn. Two separated factorial experiments, arranged in randomized complete block design with three replicates, were conducted from February to May and March to June 2015, respectively. The first factor was LOF application methods (soil and foliar) and the second factor was LOF concentration (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm). The observations focused on average weight of husked ear, length, weight and diameter un-husked ears. The results indicated that the effectiveness of soil application of LOF was 99.625 % as effective as foliar application in influencing sweet corn yields. Concentrations of LOF did not increase all observed variables, but yield attributes were within the range of variety description. It is concluded that in a closed production system, LOF application through soil is as effective as foliar application in affecting sweet corn yields.

“…Under greenhouse conditions an increasing dose of a bovine biofertilizer made in a very similar manner as the biofertilizer Microgeo, consistently increased corn height at 60 days after sowing, most likely due the presence of nitrogen in the biofertilizer (Viana et al 2014). Regarding the integrated use of synthetic, organic and biological resources, studies addressing baby corn (Jinjala et al 2016;Dadarwal, Jain, and Singh 2009), sweet corn (Mukhlis and Lestari 2014) and corn (Singh et al 2018) reported that combining synthetic fertilizer þ biofertilizer resulted in taller plants than the application of each resource alone. Moreover, Baloach et al (2014) revealed that the application of biofertilizer alone and in combination with HA increased corn height when compared to the untreated control.…”

Current trends in agriculture have moved toward more sustainable cultivation systems with higher efficiency of input use. A variety of materials, derived from different resources, can serve as a crop nutrient sources. An Integrated Plant Nutrition System (IPNS) uses the combined and harmonious use of inorganic, organic and biological nutrient resources to maximize efficiency of inputs. We evaluated the effects of commercial nitrogen (N) fertilizer, humic acid compounds (HA), compost/manure teas and bioinoculants as inorganic, organic and biological resources, respectively and their synergy over three years on corn (Zea mays L.) in the Mid-Atlantic USA. The individual and combined application of HA and biofertilizer following the IPNS influenced corn height and leaf greenness to varying degrees, most likely due to biostimulant effects. In 2017, corn height, NDVI, greenness and vigor responded positively to biostimulant application to varying magnitudes and growth stages, however grain yield and nutrient content were not affected. In combined studies from 2018 and 2019 corn height was not impacted by biostimulant application but NDVI, photosynthetic efficiency, greenness and vigor were increased at different doses and corn growth stages. The combined use of HA þ biofertilizer (Microlife Humic þ Microgeo) was the only treatment leading to increased grain yield. This study demonstrates that the individual and combined application of HA and biofertilizer can influence corn growth and vigor at various points during the growing season. However, the current study cannot conclusively confirm that the integrated use of HA and biofertilizers (IPNS) is a better practice than the application of each compound individually.

“…Application of biofertilizer mstar @ 15 kg/ha combined with inorganic NPK fertilizer could increase the soil nutrients and sweet corn growth. This bio fertilizer had also increased the efficiency of in organic fertilizer by 50% (Mukhlis & Lestari, 2014) [35] . Highest plant growth (plant height and stem girth) with the application of 100% RDF + PSB as compared to other treatments (Singh et al, 2018) [51] .…”

The continuous use of inorganic fertilizers increases the cost of production, deteriorates soil health and pollutes the environment. Optimum use of organic manures like FYM, vermicompost and bio fertilizer provides all essential nutrients to plant and improves physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. The approach on integrated nutrient management (INM) with judicious use of organic and inorganic nutrient is indispensable for intensification of research. INM helps in the balanced fertilization of crops, where the right amount of plant nutrient from an appropriate source is applied at proper growth stage of a specific crop plant. It is a step towards sustainable agriculture as it reduces the stress of pollution on the nature and the judicious use of resources optimises the productivity. The recent years research work carried out on the integrated nutrient management in India and abroad with respect to growth, yield, nutrient uptake, quality parameters and economics of sweet corn has been critically reviewed in this chapter.
