“…However, in organic manures treatments, the peak stage of organic matter decomposition was not achieved during crop season due to lack of mineral N and P. Higher decomposition rate of organic matter was still going on and thus the DHA was higher at the end of cropping season as compared to combined application of organic manures and NP fertilizers. This type of results are in conformity with the outcomes of several studies (Basak et al 2017, Jia et al 2018, Tripura et al 2018.…”

An ongoing long-term field experiment established in 1995 at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India) under pearl millet-wheat cropping system was selected to examine the impact of organic manures and fertilizers on soil microbiological properties. After 19 years of experiment, the samples were collected after wheat harvest in April, 2014. Under different combinations of treatments, the microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) content in soil ranged from 202–491 and 35.0–79.8 mg/kg, respectively. The lower content of MBC and MBN was observed in farmyard manure (FYM) treated plots as compared to pressmud or poultry manure. Soil microbial quotient (SMQ) ranged from 3.18– 5.61% and higher SMQ was observed with pressmud and poultry manure application as compared to FYM application. The highest dehydrogenase activity (DHA) was reported with FYM15 (63.71 μgTPF/g/24 hr) which was statistically at par with FYM15N150 (59.75 μg TPF/g/24 h) and pressmud7.5 (58.14 μg TPF/g/24 h). Among organic manures applied alone alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) followed the order: poultry manure>FYM>pressmud. The highest urease activity (97.6 μg NH4 +-N/g/h) was observed with pressmud7.5 and this may be attributed to higher N content (3.23%) in pressmud. The dehydrogenase and urease activity decreased in the plots where organic manures were applied in conjunction with NP fertilizers as compared to solitary application of organic manures. However, reverse trend was observed in case of alkaline phosphatase. Overall, pressmud applications exhibited favorable impacts on soil properties under pearl millet wheat cropping. Therefore, continuous application of pressmud could lead to long term maintenance of soil microbial properties in these sandy loam soils.

“…Furthermore, Kaur and Reddy 32 reported improved soil fertility using mineral fertilizer and biofertilizer ( Pseudomonas plecoglossicida and Pantoea cypripedii ). Similarly, the integrated application of NPK fertilizers and organic amendments (green manure + Pseudomonas putida + Azotobacter chroococcum ) recorded a higher OC value and available N and K over only NPK fertilizer application 33 .…”

Conventional agricultural practices and rising energy crisis create a question about the sustainability of the present-day food production system. Nutrient exhaustive crops can have a severe impact on native soil fertility by causing nutrient mining. In this backdrop, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of bio-priming intervention in red cabbage production considering nutrient uptake, the annual change in soil fertility, nutrient use efficiency, energy budgeting, and economic benefits for its sustainable intensification, among resource-poor farmers of Middle Gangetic Plains. The compatible microbial agents used in the study include Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Bacillus subtilis. Field assays (2016–2017 and 2017–2018) of the present study revealed supplementing 75% of recommended NPK fertilizer with dual inoculation of T. harzianum and P. fluorescens increased macronutrient uptake (N, P, and K), root length, heading percentage, head diameter, head weight, and the total weight of red cabbage along with a positive annual change in soil organic carbon. Maximum positive annual change in available N and available P was recorded under 75% RDF + P. fluorescens + B. subtilis and 75% RDF + T. harzianum + B. subtilis, respectively. Bio-primed plants were also higher in terms of growth and nutrient use efficiency (agronomic efficiency, physiological efficiency, apparent recovery efficiency, partial factor productivity). Energy output (26,370 and 26,630 MJ ha−1), energy balance (13,643 and 13,903 MJ ha−1), maximum gross return (US $ 16,030 and 13,877 ha−1), and net return (US $ 15,966 and 13,813 ha−1) were considerably higher in T. harzianum, and P. fluorescens treated plants. The results suggest the significance of the bio-priming approach under existing integrated nutrient management strategies and the role of dual inoculations in producing synergistic effects on plant growth and maintaining the soil, food, and energy nexus.

“…Similar results were obtained by Jetiyanon et al (2017) when evaluating the biofertilizer "Rhizoproduct" formulation based on Bacillus cereus RS87 under greenhouse conditions, where the parameters were higher in the treatment 100% fertilized in a range of 11.8-15.6%. In an integrated nutrient management program, reducing the use of fertilizers supplemented with the use of biofertilizers, results in an attractive strategy for the sustainable management of rice, in other words, beginning to cut our dependence on chemicals and to target environmental technologies economically viable (Basak et al, 2017).…”
