The experiment was conducted to measure crop yields, nutrient concentration, nutrient uptake and balance by using different nutrient management practices for mustard-mungbean-T. aman rice cropping system in calcareous soil of Madaripur, Bangladesh. Different nutrient management practices were absolute nutrient control (T1); farmer’s practice (T2); AEZ based nutrient application (T3) and soil test based nutrient application (T4). The practices were compared in a randomized completely block design with three replications over two consecutive years. The average yield through application of soil test based nutrient (T4) was showed effective to get highest yields of mustard (1530 kg ha-1), mungbean (1632 kg ha-1) and T. aman rice (4729 kg ha-1). The same practices (T4) exhibited the greatest nutrients uptake by the test crops. The apparent balance of N and K was negative; however it was less negative and less deficiency detect in T4 treatment. Positive balance of P observed in all practices except in T1. There was a positive S balance (7.60 kg ha-1) in T4 but negative in T1, T2 and T3. Zinc balance was found positive in T3 and T4 and negative in T1 and T2. Boron balance in the system was neutral or slightly positive in T1 and negative in T2 but positive in T3 and T4. Organic matter, N, P, S, Zn and B status in soil was improved by T4 treatment. The results suggested that the soil test based nutrient application is viable and sustainable for mustard-mungbean-T. aman rice cropping system in calcareous soils of Bangladesh.

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management in scented rice and its residual effect on pea under paira cropping system at Regional Research and Technology Transfer Station (RRTTS), Bhawanipatna, Kalahandi, Odisha during 2015-16 and 2016-17. Twelve treatment combinations comprising of T1 - FYM @ 10 t ha-1 + vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + neem cake @ 2.5 q ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1, T2 - STBFR (Soil test based fertilizer recommendation 75 : 30 : 20 kg N:P2O5: K2O ha-1), T3 - STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1, T4 - STBFR + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1, T5 - STBFR + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1, T6- STBFR + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T7- STBFR + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T8- STBFR + FYM @ 5 t /ha + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T9 - STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1, T10 - STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5kg ha-1+ PSM @ 5kg ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T11 - Farmers practice (only chemical fertilizer @ 40 : 20 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1), T12 - STBFR + vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 were tried in RBD with three replications. The soil of the experimental site was black cotton type having pH- 6.11 , O.C.- 0.72 %, E.C- 0.004 (dS m-1), available N -175.9 kg ha-1 (low), available P-36.7 kg ha-1 (medium) and available K- 283.6 kg ha-1 (high). Geetanjali was the test variety for rice and Azad Pea-1 for pea. Application of STBFR (75 : 30 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1) + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1 (T10) to medium duration aromatic rice (var. Geetanjali) produced higher rice grain yield (4065 kg ha-1) and pea seed yield (1044 kg ha-1) from aromatic rice -pea paira cropping system. However, application of STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1 producing grain yield (3944 kg ha-1) and pea seed yield 977 kg ha-1 is another option. Application of STBFR (75 : 30 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1) + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1 (T10) recorded maximum gross return (Rs. 1,26,991 ha-1) , net return (Rs. 80,146 ha-1) and B : C ratio of 2.71. The increase in rice equivalent yield (REY) in this treatment was 51.4% higher than the farmer practice i,e., application of chemical fertilizers alone (40 : 20 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1).

Over years of intensive cultivation and imbalanced fertilizer use, the soils of the Indiansubcontinent have become deficient in several nutrients and are impoverished in organic matter.Recently, this region has started emphasizing a shift from inorganic to organic farming to managesoil health. However, owing to the steadily increasing demands for food by the overgrowingpopulations of this region, a complete shift to an organic farming system is not possible. The rice–wheat cropping system (RWCS) is in crisis because of falling or static yields. The nations of thisregion have already recognized this problem and have modified farming systems towardintegrated nutrient management (INM) practices. The INM concept aims to design farmingsystems to ensure sustainability by improving soil health, while securing food for the populationby improving crop productivity. Therefore, this paper was synthesized to quantify the impact androle of INM in improving crop productivity and sustainability of the RWCS in the context of theIndian subcontinent through meta-analysis using 338 paired data during the period of 1989–2016.The meta-analysis of the whole data for rice and wheat showed a positive increase in the grainyield of both crops with the use of INM over inorganic fertilizers only (IORA), organic fertilizersonly (ORA), and control (no fertilizers; CO) treatments. The increase in grain yield was significantat p < 0.05 for rice in INM over ORA and CO treatments. For wheat, the increase in grain yield wassignificant at p < 0.05 in INM over IORA, ORA, and CO treatments. The yield differences in theINM treatment over IORA were 0.05 and 0.13 Mg ha−1, respectively, in rice and wheat crops. Thepercent yield increases in INM treatment over IORA, ORA, and CO treatments were 2.52, 29.2, and90.9, respectively, in loamy soil and 0.60, 24.9, and 93.7, respectively, in clayey soil. The net returnsincreased by 121% (INM vs. CO) in rice, and 9.34% (INM vs. IORA) and 127% (INM vs. CO) inwheat crop. Use of integrated nutrient management had a positive effect on soil properties ascompared to other nutrient management options. Overall, the yield gain and maintenance of soilhealth due to INM practices over other nutrient management practices in RWCS can be a viablenutrient management option in the Indian subcontinent.
