Abstract

Integrated management of soil nutrients and organic matter is critical for sustainable food production and soil health under climate change. Therefore, the appropriate combination of inorganic and organic fertilization is necessary for sustainable agriculture that can ensure food production with high quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of different inorganic fertilizer (IF) application rates with organic fertilizer (OF; compost) on maize growth performance and soil chemical properties under field conditions. The fertilization treatments were: no fertilizer application; IF 100%; IF 75% + OF 25%; IF 50% + OF 50%; IF 25% + OF 75%; OF 100%; IF 100% + OF 100%. The application of organic fertilizer to the soil increased soil organic matter and available P in proportional to the amount of organic fertilizer applied. The combination of inorganic and organic fertilizers significantly increased maize grain yield. The average maize grain yield for the combined application of inorganic and organic fertilizers (IF 25% + OF 75%) was 35% higher than that for IF 100% treatment. Our study shows that combined inorganic and organic fertilization could enhance soil fertility and organic carbon storage in soils while contributing to high crop productivity in agriculture.

Effects of different fertilizer treatments on maize grain dry weight (IF, inorganic fertilizer; OF, organic fertilizer).
