Abstract
This study investigates the effects of various nutrient management strategies, including organic and inorganic fertilizers, on the productivity and economic yield of rice-cotton cropping systems. Conducted at Annamalai University’s Experimental Farm in Tamil Nadu, India, from September 2005 to June 2007, the research aims to assess both direct and residual effects of these nutrient sources. The findings reveal significant improvements in total economic produce, biomass production, and rice equivalent yield, particularly with the application of 100% recommended nitrogen dose combined with vermicompost. This paper provides insights into optimizing nutrient management for sustainable agricultural practices.
