Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect At 50 days after sowing, dry-matter accumulation (25.35 g/plant) was significantly higher with the combined NP, vermicompost and farmyard manure treatment than with the other treatments.
- Intervention effect At 75 days after sowing, dry-matter accumulation (30.19 g/plant) was significantly higher with the combined NP, vermicompost and farmyard manure treatment than with the other treatments.
- Intervention effect Dry matter yield (11.2 tonnes/ha) was significantly higher with the combined NP, vermicompost and farmyard manure treatment than with the other treatments.
- Intervention effect The crop-growth rate with the combined NP, vermicompost and farmyard manure treatment was highest (0.90 g/plant/day).
- Intervention effect Vermicompost and farmyard manure gave higher NP uptake than inorganic sources only, except the 100% recommended NP dose.
- Intervention effect Vermicompost improved the residual build-up of organic carbon and available NPK in soil more than inorganic fertilizers, with farmyard manure next.
