Organic nutrients boost rice yield and soil fertility in sustainable farming.
The study looked at how using a mix of organic and inorganic fertilizers affects rice growth. By combining chemical fertilizers with compost and crop residue, they found that rice yield increased by 27%. This method also boosted the uptake of important nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil. Over time, adding compost and crop residues improved the soil's organic content. Overall, using a mix of organic and inorganic fertilizers can help increase rice yield and improve soil fertility.
