Summary

Cereal crops keep key importance in global food security as these are key components of food and feed. Nutrients (both macro and micro) play a crucial role in cereal production and nutrient management is crucial for sustainable cereal production. The special issue on "Integrated Nutrient Management in Cereal Crops" aims to explore the various aspects of nutrient management for enhancing cereal crop production. This special issue targets research and review articles addressing innovative and novel approaches and strategies for managing nutrients effectively, with a focus on cereal crops.

Key theme areas of the special issue will include nutrient dynamics in cereals including their interaction with the environment, innovative nutrient delivery approaches like precision agriculture, slow-release fertilizers and nanotechnology etc., organic and biological nutrient management, and nutrient management for climate-resilient cereal production. This special issue welcomes the articles discussing policy frameworks and socio-economic factors influencing nutrient management practices in cereal crop production.

Overall, this special issue is a contribution to the current state of knowledge in integrated nutrient management for cereal crops, which can guide researchers, policymakers, and practitioners toward more sustainable, productive and climate-resilient cereal production systems.

Effects of Nitrogen Application Rate on Yield and Quality of Different Genotypes of Foxtail Millet
Jiao Mao, Shu Wang, Yuanmeng Xu, Mengyao Wang, Yuhan Liu, Jiangling Ren, Sichen Liu, Zhijun Qiao, Xiaoning Cao
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.057945
（This article belongs to the Special Issue: Integrated Nutrient Management in Cereal Crops)
Abstract In order to elucidate the response mechanism of yield and quality of different genotypes of foxtail millet to nitrogen application. In this study, plant physiology and metabolomics were used to study the effects of different amounts of nitrogen (0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 kg hm⁻²) on agronomic characters, yield and quality of Jingu 21 and Zhangza 10. The results showed that with the increase of nitrogen application, the plant height of different genotypes of foxtail millet increased gradually, and the content of stem diameter, yield, protein, fat, lysine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, arginine, aspartic, glutamic, glycine, and… More >

Growth, Yield, Energetics, CO₂ Emissions and Production Economics of Zero-Tillage Wheat as Influenced by Different Rice Residue Loads and Nutrient Management Options
Mallepu S Likhitha Reddy, Biplab Mitra, Ahmed Gaber, Akbar Hossain
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.056789
（This article belongs to the Special Issue: Integrated Nutrient Management in Cereal Crops)
Abstract The rice‒wheat farming system is considered as the greatest energy-intensive agricultural practice in South‒East Asia. In light of declining system production and profitability, burning of residues, soil erosion, depletion of renewable resources, and environmental degradation, the sustainability of the rice‒wheat cropping system is being questioned. As a result, energy and money efficient conservation agricultural methods are becoming more and more necessary to accomplish sustainable output. A field experiment was carried out in this regard to evaluate the effects of varying degrees of rice residue retention and nutrient management options on zero-tillage grown wheat growth, yield,… More >

The Impact of Varied Fertilizers on the Yield and Quality of Panicum miliaceum under Low Nitrogen Conditions
Mengyao Wang, Jiao Mao, Yuanmeng Xu, Shu Wang, Yuhan Liu, Jiangling Ren, Sichen Liu, Zhijun Qiao, Xiaoning Cao
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.10, pp. 2629-2644, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.056157

Abstract To clarify the response characteristics of broomcorn millet yield and quality to various fertilizers under low nitrogen conditions, the present study investigated the effects of different fertilization treatments, including no fertilization (HCK, CCK), urea (HF1, CF1), phosphate fertilizer (HF2, CF2), compound fertilizer (HF3, CF3), and organic fertilizer (HF4, CF4), on the agronomic traits, quality, and starch pasting properties of proso millet. As experimental materials, non-waxy proso millet (Hequ red proso millet, denoted as HQH) and waxy proso millet (Chishu 1, denoted as CS1) were utilized. The results showed that under low nitrogen conditions, urea treatment… More >

Effect of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on Growth, Mineral Composition, and Nutritional Value of Wheat & Lentil Sprouts
Abdul Momin, Amana Khatoon, Wajahat Khan, Dilsat Bozdoğan Konuşkan, Muhammad Mudasar Aslam, Muhammad Jamil, Shafiq Ur Rehman, Baber Ali, Alevcan Kaplan, Sana Wahab, Muhammad Nauman Khan, Sezai Ercisli, Mohammad Khalid Al-Sadoon
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.6, pp. 1117-1128, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.048994

Abstract Sprouts are ready-to-eat and are recognized worldwide as functional components of the human diet. Recent advances in innovative agricultural techniques could enable an increase in the production of healthy food. The use of light-emitting diode (LED) in indoor agricultural production could alter the biological feedback loop, increasing the functional benefits of plant foods such as wheat and lentil sprouts and promoting the bioavailability of nutrients. The effects of white (W), red (R), and blue (B) light were investigated on the growth parameters and nutritional value of wheat and lentil sprouts. In the laboratory, seeds were… More >

Various Organic Nutrient Sources in Combinations with Inorganic Fertilizers Influence the Yield and Quality of Sweet Corn (Zea mays L. saccharata) in New Alluvial Soils of West Bengal, India
Anindita Das, Kanu Murmu, Biplab Mitra, Pintoo Bandopadhyay, Ritesh Kundu, Moupiya Roy, Saleh Alfarraj, Mohammad Javed Ansari, Marian Brestic, Akbar Hossain
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.4, pp. 763-776, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.049473

Abstract Nutrient management plays a crucial role in the yield and quality of sweet corn. A field experiment was conducted in consecutive two kharif seasons in 2018 and 2019 to investigate the effect of various organic sources of nutrients in combination with inorganic sources on the yield and quality of sweet corn under new alluvial soils of West Bengal, India. Treatments were: T: Control (without fertilizers); T: 100% recommended dose (RDF) of chemical fertilizers (CF) (RDF CF); T: 100% recommended dose of N (RDN) through vermicompost (VC) (RDN VC); T: 50 RDN through CF + 50%… More >
