Claim · model-written summary
The decrease in soil pH was larger when organic sources were applied along with chemical fertilizers.
Saccharum officinarumVerbatim
e0“A field experiment was conducted on integrated nutrient management in late-planted sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paoi.) system during 1995–96 to 1998–99 at Modipuram, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh”
e7“pH of the soil decreased from initial value (8.20) with the application of fertilizers and the magnitude of decrease was more when organic sources were applied along with chemical fertilizers”

- Intervention effect Soil-test-based 100% NPK gave significantly higher cane yield.
- Intervention effect Substituting 25% N with pressmud and FYM gave sugarcane yield at par with 100% NPK.
- Intervention effect Substituting 25% N with pressmud, FYM or cowpea green manure increased ratoon cane yield significantly.
- Intervention effect Soil-test-based 100% NPK gave significantly higher wheat yield.
- Intervention effect Curtailing chemical fertilizer significantly reduced wheat yield.
- Intervention effect Substituting 25% of wheat N need with sugarcane stubbles gave the lowest wheat yield, 2.70 tonnes/ha, significantly lower.
- Intervention effect Chemical fertilizer alone reduced brix, sucrose and purity.
- Intervention effect Combining chemical and organic manures improved brix, sucrose and purity.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer application decreased soil pH from its initial value.
- Observation Soil organic carbon did not change remarkably.
- Intervention effect Combining chemical fertilizer with organic sources increased available P and K in soil.
