“…On the other hand, total weed dry weight was higher in the 50% NPK compared to the other fertility treatments. The use of FYM in conjunction with 100% NPK may have raised yields since it provided all needed macro and micro nutrients, thereby improving the physicochemical qualities of the soil (Dutta et al, 2013). Although, 100% NPK + lime corrected the acidi cation of the soil resulting in higher nutrient availability increased system yield.…”

We investigated the effect of different sources of organic and inorganic nutrients on weed composition, diversity and system productivity in maize-wheat cropping system in long-term experiment initiated during 1972-73 in a Typic Hapludalfs soil conditions of North-Western Himalaya. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design with 11 treatments replicated three times. Results revealed that a total of 9 weed species from 3 families and 11 weed species from 7 families were recorded in maize and wheat crops, respectively. Poaceae was the most dominating family followed by Asteraceae in wheat crop. 50% NPK resulted in significantly higher broadleaf weed count, total weed count and total weed dry weight, whereas, 100% NPK + Zn resulted in the maximum count of grasses in maize crop. In wheat crop, broadleaf count, total weed count and total weed dry weight were significantly higher in 150% NPK, whereas, 100% NPK + FYM had maximum grassy weeds population. Balanced fertilization resulted in significantly lower species richness, Shannon’s equitability and diversity indices and higher system productivity of maize-wheat cropping system.

“…The application of comprehensive nutrient management techniques significantly increased the overall nutrient content, encompassing both micronutrients and macronutrients, in the surface of the maize cropping system. Higher maize yields were achieved through meticulous application of NPK fertilizers in conjunction with farmyard manure or agricultural waste, contributing to enhanced soil fertility (Dutta et al, 2013). Integrated nutrient management (INM) practices resulted in higher organic matter content compared to traditional farming methods, and initial soil mineral levels were elevated in maize-wheat and maize-potato cropping systems.…”

The global imperative of sustaining food production to meet the needs of a growing population requires innovative agricultural approaches that enhance crop productivity while mitigating environmental impacts. This summary delves into the concept of integrated nutrient management (INM) as a comprehensive strategy for maintaining maize productivity while concurrently minimizing environmental footprints. INM entails a careful blend of organic and inorganic fertilizers, cover cropping, and other agronomic techniques to optimize nutrient availability and utilization in maize cultivation. The review examines existing literature and research outcomes on the effects of INM, with a specific focus on its capacity to improve nutrient use efficiency, decrease nutrient runoff, and counteract soil degradation. Through the incorporation of organic nutrient sources like crop residues and green manure with precisely calibrated inorganic fertilizers, INM seeks to enhance soil health, nutrient cycling, and overall agricultural sustainability. The abstract also explores cover cropping as a complementary INM strategy, contributing to soil conservation, weed control, and increased biodiversity. Addressing environmental concerns such as nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer use is crucial in contemporary agriculture. This abstract underscore the potential of INM to tackle these challenges by promoting a balanced nutrient supply, reducing nutrient losses to water bodies, and mitigating the environmental impact associated with excessive fertilizer application. Through a thorough examination of existing literature, the abstract underscores the necessity for further research and the adoption of INM practices to ensure sustained maize productivity while safeguarding the environment. The integration of nutrient management strategies not only boosts crop yields but also aligns with goals of sustainable agriculture, emphasizing the importance of adopting practices that balance economic viability with environmental stewardship for global food security.

“…Sulphur deficiency areas are becoming common across the globe (Irwin et al, 2002) [11] . In many regions of the country, continued depletion of native reserves of S during the post-green revolution era has led to its deficiency (Dutta et al, 2013) [14] . Reasons for sulphur deficiency in soil include increased fertilizer use, use of high-yielding crop varieties (Sinha et al, 1995.…”

“…On the other hand sulphur addition to the soil is also less due to increased use of high analysis sulphur-free fertilizers (Chaubey i, 1992) [4] , decreased use of organic manures (Sakal and Singh, 1997) [29] and reduced use of sulphur fertilizers, sulphurcontaining pesticides (Jamal et al, 2010) [12] . Nitrogen remains the favoured chemical fertilizer, resulting in low primary crop productivity due to a lack of balanced and optimal nutrient application (Dutta et al, 2013) [14] . Compared to many other fertilizers, sulphurcontaining fertilizers cost a bit higher thus leading to its reduced usage by farmers (Dutta et al, 2013) [14] .…”

Compared to many other fertilizers, sulphurcontaining fertilizers cost a bit higher thus leading to its reduced usage by farmers (Dutta et al, 2013) [14] . In the context of Indian agriculture, it is gaining considerable importance in the production of quality crops, particularly when there is increasing use of non-sulphurcontaining fertilizers and less use of organic manure.…”

Role of sulphur in cereal crops: A review

Sulphur (S) is an essential nutrient for all organisms. Sulphur is being categorized along with Nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) as the fourth macro nutrient. It is an important component for the production of proteins, and plays a part in chlorophyll synthesis. 41% of the Indian soils are known to be deficient in sulphur. Sulphur deficient soils are becoming common around the globe. Use of sulphurfree fertilizers is one of the main reasons behind sulphur shortage in soil. Higher crop yields may not be obtained when sulphur deficiency prevails as it affects the usage of applied N, P, and K by the crop. Many field experiments were conducted on different cereal crops from which it can be stated that 20-40 kg Sulphur/ha application significantly affected the growth, yield, nutrient uptake and economics. The goal of this review is to provide an update on recent findings related to these subjects, which may lead to a better understanding of S-fertilization and the role of S-fertilization in cereals.
