Abstract

The use of compound inorganic fertilizers in plant cultivation systems is on the rise because of their practicality, more comprehensive and homogeneous nutrient availability, and potential to reduce production costs. Different combinations of compound fertilizer products can generate a variety of responses in terms of plant growth. The aim of this investigation was to assess how plants responded to the components of their results, specifically the variations in two distinct compositions of compound fertilizers. This investigation divided 60 experimental sites into two groups, each using two distinct types of compound fertilizers. The macronutrient content of the compound fertilizers (NK and NP), distinguished them. This study employed nine treatments, which included a control (without fertilizer treatment), conventional NPK fertilizer, a combination of NPK fertilizers (3/4, and 1) doses with (1/2, 3/4, 1 and 1) doses of compound fertilizer, and a randomized block design Each treatment was repeated three times. The results of this study suggest that the application of compound fertilizer with two distinct compositions has a substantially different effect than the control treatment. In comparison to compound fertilizers with a higher potassium content, which have a yield component value of RAE 134%, the application of compound fertilizers with a higher phosphorus content can provide a higher yield component value of RAE 127.92%. The function of applying potassium-containing nutrients can produce better outcomes for corn plant than those with higher phosforus content, making it an interesting study that should be investigated further in the future

Abstract

Sweet corn is an agricultural commodity that has increasing market demand and high economic value. To achieve optimal production results, proper fertilization is very important, especially on Inceptisol soils that have low to medium fertility. This study aimed to evaluate the combination of crumb organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer on soil N-total, P-potential, and K-potential as well as sweet corn crop yield. The experiment was conducted from September to December 2023 at the Experimental Field, Padjadjaran University, using Inceptisol soil, sweet corn seeds, crumb organic fertilizer, and NPK fertilizer (15-15-15). Randomized Group Design, six treatments including control, recommended dose of NPK fertilizer, and combination of crumb organic fertilizer with NPK, repeated 4 times. Analysis in the maximum vegetative phase at 55 HST with testing parameters including soil N-total (Kjeldahl method), P-potential (Bray method), K-potential (ammonium acetate method). The results showed that the combination of ¾ NPK and 1 ½ crumb organic fertilizer was effective in increasing soil N-total, P and K-potential and sweet corn yield.

Abstract

The application of organic amendments is an important strategy to improve seedling quality in coffee nurseries. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of coffee husk compost and biochar, appliedsingly and in combination, on the growth of Arabica coffee seedlings. The experiment was conductedin a nursery using polybags filled with 5 kg of growing media and arranged in a randomized completeblock design with seven treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of a control, coffeehusk compost alone, biochar alone, and combinations of compost and biochar at different rates.Growth parameters observed included plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves. The resultsindicated that all amended treatments significantly improved seedling growth compared to thecontrol. The best growth performance was consistently obtained from the combined application ofcoffee husk compost at 300 g polybag⁻¹ and biochar at 200 g polybag⁻¹, which produced the highestplant height, stem diameter, and leaf number. This treatment demonstrated a synergistic effectbetween coffee husk compost as a nutrient source and biochar as a soil conditioner that improved thegrowing media environment. These findings suggest that the combined use of coffee husk compost andbiochar at appropriate rates is an effective approach to enhance vegetative growth and overall qualityof Arabica coffee seedlings in nursery systems.

Abstract

Rice productivity in Inceptisols is often constrained by high phosphate fixation and low nutrient efficiency, despite high total nutrient reserves. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of silicaenriched biochar in improving soil chemical properties and maintaining rice yield under reduced N, P, K fertilization. A field experiment was arranged in a Randomized Block Design with two factors: silicaenriched biochar (0, 1.25, and 2.5 t ha-1) and N, P, K fertilizer dosages (0, 50%, and 100% of the  recommended dose). Observed parameters included Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), available phosphorus, total soil silica, and yield components. The results showed a significant interaction between treatments on soil chemical properties, particularly CEC and pH. Application of 2.5 t ha-1 silica-enriched biochar independently increased available phosphorus by 24.3% and total soil silica by 5.9% compared to the control, likely due to phosphate desorption mechanisms. Agronomically, while N, P, K fertilizer was the dominant factor for yield, the combination of 2.5 t ha-1  silica-enriched biochar  with 50% N, P, K dosage produced Milled Dry Grain (MDG) yields that were statistically comparable to the 100% N, P, K treatment. This indicated that silica-enriched biochar can substitute up to 50% of inorganic fertilizer requirements without compromised yield

Abstract

Modern agriculture largely depends on NPK fertilization however, the neglect of secondary nutrients, particularly magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S), has increasingly led to nutrient imbalances andreduced fertilizer efficiency. Magnesium plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, energy transfer, andenzyme activation, and its deficiency often referred to as the “forgotten element” has become moreprevalent in intensive cropping systems and leached mineral soils. This study aimed to evaluate therole of magnesium–sulfur (Mg–S) fertilizer derived from kieserite in enhancing the growth and yieldof sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata L.) cultivated on Inceptisol soil. This study used a RandomizedBlock Design (RBD) with seven different combination treatments between kieserite (½; ¾; 1; 1 ½ andNPK (¾ and 1) recommended dosages, one treatment recommendation dose of local farmer and onetreatment without fertilizer for comparison. Each treatment was replicated three times, resulting in atotal of twenty-seven experimental plots. Soil chemistry parameters as a main object of thisexperiment. The results of this study showed that the application of kieserite inorganic fertilizersignificantly improved N, P, K, and Mg concentrations in plant tissue, increased total soil Mg content,and enhanced yield components of sweet corn compared to the control and standard NPK treatments.The combined application of one dose of kieserite (300 kg ha⁻¹) and the recommended NPK rate (350–100–50 kg ha⁻¹) produced the highest yield, reaching 14.24 t ha⁻¹, indicating that balanced Mg–Ssupplementation is essential for optimizing nutrient efficiency and maximizing sweet cornproductivity on Inceptisol soils.
