Enhanced cauliflower production and soil health through comprehensive nutrient management

Abstract

The intensification of cauliflower cultivation has raised concerns about declining soil health and the environmental sustainability of agricultural practices. This paper proposes a comprehensive nutrient management (CNM) approach as a pivotal solution for enhancing cauliflower production while simultaneously improving soil health. CNM integrates the use of chemical fertilizers with organic amendments, biofertilizers, and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to optimize nutrient availability, reduce chemical dependency, and promote a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
