Abstract:
The use of various organic and inorganic soil amendments, such as vermicompost, jivamruth and vermiwash in the production of different crops. It boosts soil fertility, water retention, and nutrient uptake by the crop, which depends on nutrient content and yield/biomass output. The addition of nutrients from both organic and inorganic sources has led to a higher content of nutrients in grain and stover. Additionally, the way that organic manures release nutrients changes when combined with chemical fertilisers. Normally, they release nutrients more slowly at first, but when fertilisers like urea are used, the C: N ratio is reduced, which causes the organic manure's nutrients to be absorbed more quickly. It significantly improves soil health and maintains higher growth qualities, yield attributes, seed and stover production, nutrient uptake (NPK), and accessible nutrient status.
