e0“Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of organic and conventional fertilizer sources on growth, yield, and nitrogen use efficiency of tomato and sweet corn crop and on changes in chemical and biological properties in acid lateritic soil of eastern India”
e3“The VC-based treatments registered lower soil available macronutrients (N, P and K), but higher organic carbon and micronutrient (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) as compared to CF treatment at the end of two years cropping system”

- Intervention effect CF100, VC100 and VC50 + CF50 significantly increased tomato yield compared with suboptimal VC with other organic sources.
- Intervention effect CF100, VC100 and VC50 + CF50 significantly increased sweet corn yield compared with suboptimal VC with other organic sources.
- Intervention effect Tomato yield under CF100, VC100 and VC50 + CF50 was statistically at par among these optimal-dose treatments.
- Intervention effect Sweet corn yield under CF100, VC100 and VC50 + CF50 was statistically at par among these optimal-dose treatments.
- Intervention effect Maximum N uptake among fertilized treatments was in the CF100 treatment.
- Intervention effect Maximum N use efficiency among fertilized treatments was in the VC-based treatments.
- Intervention effect VC-based treatments lowered soil available macronutrients (N, P and K) compared with CF treatment.
- Intervention effect VC-based treatments raised soil micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) compared with CF treatment.
