Impact of organic and inorganic sources on productivity of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.): A review

Abstract

The necessity for agricultural output is proliferating now to create strategies that are eco-friendly as well as to achieve high-quality needs. Inorganic fertilizers are necessary to encourage plant development and yield, but overuse of these fertilizers has reduced yield and quality of groundnut. To compensate for the damage made by the inorganic fertilizer, a combined application of inorganic as well as organic inputs significantly improved groundnut growth, yield, and productivity. Organic inputs improve the biological and biochemical properties of the soil. It strengthens the soil microbial community, while inorganic fertilizer fulfills the required nutrients needed for the growth and development of groundnut. The purpose of the review is to gain better knowledge about the responses to inorganic and organic sources of fertilizer as well as their interaction in optimizing nutrient requirements and improving growth and yield in groundnut.
