Integrated Weed and Nutrient Management Improve Yield, Nutrient Uptake and Economics of Maize in the Rice-Maize Cropping System of Eastern India

Original language description

Increasing productivity of maize while decreasing production costs and maintaining soil health are emerging challenges for the rice-maize system in South Asia. A range of integrated nutrient and weed management practices were tested in winter maize for their effects on yield, profitability, and soil health. The nutrient management treatments were a partial substitution of nitrogen with bulky -Farmyard manure, vermicompost- and concentrated organic manures -Brassicaceous seed meal, BSM, neem cake-, whereas weed management practices compared chemical controls only versus an integrated approach. The N supplementation through BSM diminished the weed growth by reducing weed N uptake, and enhanced the maize crop uptake of nutrients. As compared to the sole chemical approach, atrazine-applied pre-emergence followed by hoeing reduced weed density by 58 and 67 percent in years 1 and 2, respectively. The N supplementation through BSM resulted in the maximum yield of maize grain -6,13 and 6,50 t per ha in year
