Integrated Nitrogen Fertilization Using Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria, Farmyard Manure and Panchagavya Formulation Improves Soil Health, Crop Quality, and Yield of Fodder Maize
Organic farming often relies on slow‐releasing nitrogen sources like farmyard manure (FYM), which frequently fail to meet the rapid nitrogen demands of nutrient‐exhaustive crops such as fodder maize. This nitrogen deficiency results in reduced growth, lower biomass, and diminished forage quality, ultimately affecting livestock nutrition and farm productivity. We hypothesized that integrating FYM with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) an…
Assessment of Organic Carbon Stock and Soil Organic Carbon Fractions Across Different Cropping Systems in the Red and Laterite Soils of Meghalaya, India
