Abstract
A significant issue in the wheat production systems is the need to increase the efficiency of nutrient use without compromising soil health. This paper has examined the synergistic impact of organic manures, Nano-DAP on growth, yield and soil fertility of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under field conditions during the Rabi seasons of 2023-24 and 2024-25 in Lucknow, India. The treatments were: green manure, farmyard manure and vermicomposting (5 t ha-1), with various nutrient management strategies based on Nano-DAP. The findings indicated that vermicompost was highly beneficial in promoting crop growth, with the highest values in terms of plant height, density and biomass growth. Nano-DAP seed treatment and foliar sprays, combined with 100% NPK, created the greatest grain yield (49.64 q ha-1) and better yield characteristics than traditional fertilization. It was also seen that the combined application enhanced the uptake of nutrients and the soil fertility status.In general, the results imply that the combination of organic Manures and NanoDAP is an efficient and sustainable approach to nutrient management to achieve better wheat yields and better soil health.
Introduction The increasing need for food, which results from fast population growth, requires agricultural methods that can produce more crops while protecting soil health. Biochar has become an effective soil enhancer that boosts soil fertility and nutrient retention while increasing crop productivity. Methods The st...

Fertilization is one of the key factors in improving the growth and productivity of maize, particularly under conditions of low soil fertility. The use of inorganic fertilizers alone often does not provide optimal results without the support of organic amendments that improve soil conditions. This study aimed to evalua...

Wheat productivity is constrained by declining soil fertility and low nutrient-use efficiency resulting from the continuous dependence on chemical fertilizers. Integrated Nutrient Management, through the judicious integration of organic, inorganic, and biological nutrient sources, offers a sustainable approach to enhan...

Global demand for alfalfa, a vital forage resource for ruminants, is growing. Currently, ruminant production is expanding rapidly in parts of Asia and Africa, further driving demand for high-quality alfalfa forage. Nevertheless, long-term indiscriminate fertilization and imbalanced nutrient input ratios in alfalfa prod...
