Urea Fertilizer

The use of inorganic fertilizer in agriculture as well as on sweet corn cultivation is quite high. Inorganic fertilizer recommended for sweet corn is  35 kg urea ha-1, 150 kg TSP  ha-1 and 150 kg KCl ha-1. Besides high prices, its difficult to find when needed. To overcome this, an experiment was carried out by utilizing TM plants for reducing urea input. This research was carried out in Air Kuti Village, South Lubuklinggau District I, Lubuklinggau City, South Sumatera Province with an altitude of 110 meters above sea level (ASL), from April to June 2017. The experiment was arranged out in a randomized completely block design (RCBD) factorial 4 x 3 and repeated three times. The first factor was treatment combination of inorganic N fertilizer (urea) and TM plants consisted 4 kinds i.e: 75% urea and 1 TM plant, 50% urea and 2 TM plants, 25% urea and 3 TM plants, and 0% urea and 4 TM plants. The second factor was a frequency of urea application consisted of 3 levels i.e: 1-time application 15 days after planted (15 DAP), 2 times application (15 and 30 DAP), and 3 times application (15, 30 and 45 DAP). The results showed that application of urea fertilizer dosage of 25% recommended (108,75 kg urea ha-1) combinated with 3 stem of TM plants produced the best growth and yield of sweet corn. The frequency of urea application 3 times produced the best growth and yield of sweet corn.

ABSTRACTFinding the appropriate method of fertilizer application to simultaneously enhance farm productivity and ensure ecosystem sustainability has been receiving a lot of attention. A field experiment was carried in the Research Plot Agriculture Faculty Bengkulu University Campus Indonesia in 2017. The purpose of this study was (1) to assess the significant effects of inorganic N fertilizer (IF) substitution with bio-fortified compost (BC) under equal N conditions on growth, N accumulation, and yield of sweet corn, and (2) to determine the appropriate level to which inorganic N fertilizer could be reduced and equivalently replaced by bio-fortified compost to promote sweet corn growth and yield. The treatments consisted of six different proportions of inorganic N fertilizer (IF) substitution with bio-fortified compost (BC). Each treatment was designed on the basis of equal amount of total N input from a combination of both fertilizers (138 kg N ha-1).  They were arranged in a randomized block design with 3 replications. They included (1) 100% IF plus 0% BC, (2) 75% IF plus 25% BC, (3) 50% IF plus 50% BC, (4) 25% IF plus 75%, (5) 0% IF plus 100% BC, and (6) no IF and no BC. The results showed that the increasing proportion of IF replaced by BC resulted in an increase for all variables (except for plant height) but they decreased when 100% IF substitution with 100% BC was applied. Among the partial substitution treatments, 50% IF plus 50% BC consistently produced the best growth, N accumulation, and yield increase. Treatments of 50% IF plus 50% BC and 25% IF plus 75% BC produced the highest green cob weight with husk per plot (10.74 – 10.84 kg plot-1), which was 16% to 19% higher than treatment of 100% IF plus % BC. The three partial substitution treatments produced crop yield components as good as treatment of 100% IF plus 0% BC. Treatment of 0% IF plus 100% BC reduced plant growth, N accumulation, and crop yield and its components. The appropriate level to which IF could be reduced and equivalently replaced by BC was at the range of 25% to 75%. Hence, a suitable replacement of inorganic N fertilizer with bio-fortified compost is considered a reasoned way to simultaneously increase crop yield and reduce environmental degradation.Keywords: organic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer, bio-fortification, chemical fertilizer substitution, bio-fortified compost

An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from March 2017 to June 2017 with a view to evaluate the effect of different types of fertilizer and netting on the growth and yield of okra. The experiment consisted of 4 levels of fertilizer following cow dung 15 t/ha (F1), inorganic fertilizer (NPK) (F2), combined application of cow dung (2/3) + inorganic fertilizer (1/3) (F3), control (F4) and 2 levels of mosquito netting (N0 = control with no netting, N1=blue colour Netting). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Overall, the growth like plant height, leaf length, pod length, pod diameter and pods numbers of okra was found higher from the combined effect of F3N1 which was significantly different from other treatments combination. The lowest growth and yield of okra was found from the treatment combination of F4N0 (control). First flowering were observed in F3N1 at 39 days after planting of okra seeds. The control treatment without net gave the lowest production of okra compared to combination of inorganic fertilizer and cow dung with netting.  In case of fertilizers effect, the highest yield (16.06 t/ha) was found from F3.  Blue colour net gave the highest yield (10.99 t/ha) compared to without net (8.88 t/ha). The highest yield of okra (17.55 t/ha) was found from the combined effect of F3N1 which was 78.52% higher compared to control treatment combination F4N0 (3.77 t/ha).

This study was conducted to determine the appropriate rate of vermicompost that would influence the agronomic performance and evaluate the effect of combining the different vermicompost rates and the specific rate of inorganic fertilizer that could effectively promote the growth and yield of sweet corn. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with ten (10) treatments and three (3) replications. The treatments are as follows: T1 – 120-90-60 kg ha-1 inorganic fertilizer or farmers’ practice, T2 – 5 t ha-1 vermicompost + 102-76.5-51 kg ha-1 inorganic fertilizer, T3 – 10 t ha-1 vermicompost + 96-72-48 kg ha-1 inorganic fertilizer, T4 – 20 t ha-1 vermicompost + 84-63-42 kg ha-1 inorganic fertilizer, T5 – 40 t ha-1 vermicompost + 60-45-30 kg ha-1 inorganic fertilizer, T6 – no application (control group), T7 – 5 t ha-1 vermicompost, T8 – 10 t ha-1 vermicompost, T9 – 20 t ha-1 vermicompost, and T10 – 40 t ha-1 vermicompost. Results of the study revealed that the different treatments influenced the ear yield (husked and unhusk), kernels per ear, weight per ear, percentage of marketable ears, percentage of barren plants, and percentage of double ears. The treatments 1 to 5 yielded significantly higher compared to the control treatment (T6) which implies that the application of vermicompost with 50 - 85% of the farmers’ practice had significant improvement in sweet corn production. The application of 20 t ha-1 vermicompost + 70% of farmers’ practice achieved the highest yield at 12.50 and 15.80 t ha-1 husked and unhusk ears respectively. Highest percentage of double ears at 29.69% was attained on the plants applied with 40 t ha-1 vermicompost + half of farmers’ practice. The yields of sweet corn applied with vermicompost alone were not comparable to treatments applied with inorganic fertilizers.

[EFFECTS OF PALM OIL SLUDGE SUBTITUTION FOR SYNTHETIC N FERTILIZER ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SWEET CORN]. Palm oil sludge (POS) contains high concentrations of organic nitrogen dan its can serve as an alternative for synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Objective of this study was to compare the growth and yield of sweet corn as amended with different compositions of synthetic N fertilizer and palm oil sludge. Six compositions, each containing 138 kg N/ha were assigned as the treatment and arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. These were 100% synthetic fertilizer, 80% synthetic fertilizer + 20% POS, 60% synthetic fertilizer + 40% POS, 40% synthetic fertilizer + 60% POS, 20% synthetic fertilizer + 80% POS, and 100% POS. The results of this study indicated that the plot amended with 60% synthetic fertilizer + 40% POS produced the highest plant stature (176.4 cm), stem diameter (2.40 cm), leaf area (8712.82 cm2 ), plant fresh weight (375.19 g), plant dry weight (136.68 g), and husked ear length (17.93 cm). However, the highest observed husked ear yield was only about 61.6 % the yield potential of the sweet corn variety.

Many see organic agriculture as the most sustainable form of farming and as the paradigm for global food production in the future. One of the solutions to food insecurity and malnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa is to promote local crops, encourage the use of locally source materials as amendment, improve their traditional system of production, and so diversify subsistence crop. The major reasons are the lack of knowledge and skill in land preparation and agronomic practices, weather uncertainties, pest outbreak and above all the use of fertilizer. Hence, this research will be carried out to investigate the effects of integrated application of Urea fertilizer and Goat Manure on soil Nutrient Availability and Okra performance. Field trials were conducted with four treatments replicated three times in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The treatments were Control (no Urea, no goat manure), 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 200kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer; 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 175kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer and 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 150kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer. Treatments were applied three weeks after planting by ring method with Urea and goat manure mixed. Soil physical and chemical properties, growth and yield parameters were evaluated. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan Multiple Range. 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 200kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer gave the highest plant height, leaf area as well as number of leaves than other treatment. However, the fruits weight, days of 50% flowering, number of fruit, fruits diameter and fruits length were significantly increased at 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 200kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer.

ABSTRACT<br />Application of organic fertilizer into the soil is designated as a source of macro, micro nutrients and organic acids; it also acts as soil ameliorant that improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. Application of high rates organic fertilizer has a constraint namely the availability and ease of application. Therefore, it is necessary to learn the use of organic fertilizer with low rates to improve the efficiency of chemical fertilizers. This research was aimed to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of paddy rice, as well as the efficiency of N, P, K inorganic fertilizer. Field experiment was conducted at Sawah Baru Research Station, University Farm IPB, Bogor, West Java from September to December 2013. The experiment used Randomized Block Design consisted of two factors: rates of organic fertilizer (0, 250, 500, 750, and 1,000 kg ha-1), and rates of inorganic fertilizer (0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 kg ha-1). The results suggested that the application of 1,000 kg organic fertilizer ha-1 + 400 kg inorganic fertilizer ha-1 did not show significant interaction. Application of organic fertilizer alone up to 1,000 kg ha-1 resulted in low growth and yield. Increasing rates of  application up to 400 kg inorganic fertilizer ha-1 increased the growth and yield of paddy rice. The highest N efficiency was 89.19% at a rate of 500 kg organic fertilizer ha-1 + 200 kg inorganic fertilizer ha-1, whereas the highest efficiency of P and K, respectively were 69.55% and 92.52% at a rate of 750 kg organic fertilizer ha-1 + 300 kg inorganic fertilizer ha-1.<br />Keywords: NPK, organic fertilizer, paddy rice

Corn (Zea mays L.) is a common food and feed product in the community since it is commonly used as rice substitution as food staple. Fertilizer application is required to attain crop high yields. Plants can receive nutrients from synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (NF) during their growth cycle. However, excessive use of NF might harm the environment. Organic chicken manure (CM), on the other hand, can minimize the harmful impact of NF. Chicken manure benefits to improve the soil’s physical, chemical, and biological properties. To boost maize plant growth and productivity, might employ CM and NF. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of NF and CM on corn growth and yield. This research was conducted in Kembang Seri, Central Bengkulu, Indonesia from November 2019 to February 2020 using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two factors and three replications. The first factor was NF doses (100, 125, and 150 %), and the second-factor consisted of CM doses (0, 10, and 20 tons/ha). Data were analyzed using ANOVA F-5%. On shoot dry weight of corn cultivated in a double row cropping pattern, there was an interaction between the dose of N and chicken manure. At 0 tons/ha, the optimum N fertilizer dose for chicken manure is 135.96 %, or 407.86 kg urea/ha. At a dose of 20 tons/ha, the optimum N fertilizer dose for chicken manure is 141.22 %, or 423.65 kg urea/ha. In a double row cropping pattern, different nitrogen fertilizer doses had no effect on corn growth and yield. The optimal dose of chicken manure was 16.65 tons/ha for plant height, 17.35 tons/ha for stem diameter, 18.89 tons/ha for leaf greenness, 17.35 tons/ha for cob length, 15.01 tons/ha for cob weight, 18.87 tons/ha for dry seed weight/plant, and 19.74 tons/ha for dry seed weight/plot.

Inoculating groundnut and cowpea with highly effective and competitive rhizobial strain improves nodulation. A field experiment was carried out at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, University for Development Studies, Nyankpala, to evaluate the growth and yield responses of cowpea and groundnut to five rhizobial inoculant strains in the Guinea Savanna zone. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with eight (8) treatments replicated four (4) times. The treatments included five rhizobial inoculant strains (NC 92, KNUST 1002, KNUST 1003, KNUST 1006, and BR 3267), two N fertilizer levels (20 kg·N/ha and 40 kg·N/ha), and a control. The results showed that rhizobial inoculation and N fertilizer application increased nodulation, biomass yield, pod number, pod weight, hundred seed weight, nodule dry weight, and pod yield of groundnut compared with the control. Rhizobial inoculation averagely increased the nodulation and yield by 63 and 67%, respectively, compared with the control. Mineral N fertilizer (20 kg N/ha) on average increased the nodulation and yield by 24 and 25%, respectively, compared with the control plots. It can be recommended from this study that, in the absence of highly competitive rhizobial strains such as KNUST 1006 and NC 92 as biofertilizers for increasing the nodulation and yield of cowpea and groundnut, 20 kg·N/ha can be used for the purpose. Further research is recommended using these rhizobial strains in combination with lower rates of N fertilizers (<20 kg·ha−1).
