Abstract:

The continued use of imbalanced fertilizers results in soil acidification and nutrient depletion, which is a severe danger to environmental quality. Thus, the objective of this review was designed to review the influence of different organic manures in combination with inorganic fertilizer on the growth parameters, yield, and yield components of sorghum crops. As observed from the review, all parameters of sorghum are affected by the application of fertilizers. Application of inorganic fertilizers increased the yield and other parameters of sorghum plants above unfertilized treatments. By the same token, the application of organic manures increased the yield and other parameters of sorghum plants over the control treatments. As observed from several findings, N and P fertilizer produced the largest and most significant yield of sorghum, whereas other nutrients had no appreciable effect. Hence, the combining organic manures and inorganic fertilizer is one of the best options for the environment, saving the farmer costs, improving soil fertility status, and increasing the yield of plants. According to the review, the type of soil, agroecology, and plant variety all influence how plants react to fertilizer. It can be concluded that to maximize the production and productivity of sorghum plants while also improving soil health, it is necessary to set the optimal rate of organic manures and inorganic fertilizer as per the site-specific location.
