An experiment was conducted during the rainy (Kharif) season of 2020 at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, Wadura Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir to evaluate the effect of age of seedling and sources of nutrients on dry-matter production of sweet corn (Zea mays L.). It was laid out in randomized complete-block design with factorial arrangement, replicated thrice. The age of seedling comprised of 12, 22 and 32 days old seedlings and sources of nutrients consisted of control, 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), 50% RDF + FYM @ 12 t/ha, 50% RDF + vermicompost @ 4 t/ha and 50% RDF + poultry manure @ 2 t/ha. The findings of this study indicated that, age of seedling and sources of nutrients had a significant influence on dry-matter accumulation. Transplanting of 32 days old seedlings recorded significantly higher values for dry-matter accumulation up to 30 days after transplanting, but thereafter transplanting 22 days old seedlings was found superior up to the harvesting. With respect to sources of nutrients application of 50% RDF + poultry manure @ 2 t/ha registering significantly higher dry-matter accumulation.

“…In comparison with treatment T 1 (100% RDF) and T 2 (100% RDF + NPK consortium (seed treatment)), treatment T 12 (75% RDF + 25% RDN through vermicompost + NPK consortium (soil application)) reported 19% and 17% higher grain yield. Treatment using 75% RDF + 25% RDN through vermicompost + NPK consortium (soil application) resulted in a remarkable improvement in all growth characteristics, including periodical plant height and dry matter production, and the ability to fully express the yield attributes, including length and girth of the cob, number of grains/cob, and seed index, which ultimately increased grain yield of maize (Kalyansundram & Augustine, 2021; Vaghela, 2020; Verma et al., 2018).…”

Increasing uses of nutrients have played a major role in increasing the food supply to a continually growing world population. However, excessive use of chemical fertilizers results in significant losses, inefficient utilization, and nutritional imbalance. However, poor soil management, inadequate nutrient application, and extreme weather conditions have all contributed to soil degradation. Prudent usage of integrated nutrient management (INM) is the greatest alternative to provide nutrients to crop needs and enhance soil conditions to repair the soil's nutrient depletion. To examine the impact of INM on the yield of rabi maize (Zea mays L.) and its lasting effects on succeeding summer sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under irrigated conditions during 2019–2020 to 2021–2022 at College Agronomy Farm, Bansilal Amrutlal (B. A.) College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India, a field trial was conducted on loamy sand soil of Agro‐Climatic Zone–XIII, Gujarat Plains, and Hills region, India. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications and 12 treatments. The improved growth, yield, and protein content of the maize crop were obtained by the application of 75% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 25% recommended dose of nutrient (RDN) through vermicompost + nitrogen–phosporus–potassium (NPK) consortium (soil application). In the subsequent sesame crop, residual effects of 75% RDF + 25% RDN through farm yard manure (FYM) + NPK consortium (soil application) together with 50% RDF (50:25:00 NPK kg/ha) were reported, which led to higher crop growth and yield. Under the conditions of middle Gujarat, the application of 75% RDF + 25% RDN through the FYM + NPK consortium (soil application) led to a greater system net realization in the maize–sesame sequence.

Agronomic biofortification increases the concentration of target mineral in edible portions of crops by the use of mineral fertilizers to increase dietary intake of target minerals. Among these iron and zinc deficiencies in human nutrition are noticed in countries where maize is the staple food. The objective of this study was to evaluate agronomic biofortification performance in association with Integrated Nutrient Management in maize (Zea mays .L). The study was conducted under field conditions in Chinnakandiankuppam village, Vriddhachalam Taluk, in the North-eastern region of Tamil Nadu state, India of Kharif 2020 season. Two hybrids in main plots (M1 – Non biofortified and M2 – Biofortified) were combined with six treatments in sub-plots (100 % RDF through NPK (S1), 100 % RDF through FYM (S2), 50% RDF through NPK + 50% through FYM (S3) as soil application, S1+ Zinc + Iron (S4), S2 +Zinc + Iron (S5) and S3 + Zinc + Iron (S6) as foliar application with evaluations were carried out in wet season period of the year. Application of 50 percent RDF through NPK + 50 percent RDF through FYM with Fe, Zn, foliar applications (S6) was the most efficient agronomic biofortification practice for growth attributes, yield and yield attributes, nutrient uptake, and quality parameters for the maize cropping system under the irrigated condition of the northeastern zone of Tamilnadu State, India.
