Review on effect of inorganic and organic sources of nutrients and their integrated use on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.)
Author(s): P Venkata Subbaiah and YS Satish Kumar
Abstract: No single source of fertilizer is capable of supplying all essential plant nutrients in adequate amounts and in balanced proportion for optimum growth, yield and quality of crops. Therefore, it is inevitable to integrate plant nutrient supply through combined use of organic manures and inorganic sources of fertilizers. Crop responses to organic and biological nutrient sources are not as effective as that of fertilizers but the combined use of such sources is known to enhance the utilization efficiency of applied fertilizers besides improving the physico-chemical properties of soil and preventing the emerging micronutrient deficiencies. Integrated nutrient management improves soil productivity on long term basis through appropriate use of fertilizers and organic manures. Their scientific management results in optimum growth, yield, quality and uptake of maize at different agro ecological situations.
