Abstract/Description: | Maize (Zea mays L.) is a significant cereal crop globally, ensuring food security in developing nations. It has become the third most important crop in India, known as the "queen of cereals" due to its adaptability to various growing conditions. Maize serves as human food, animal feed, and raw material for industries like food processing, poultry, dairy, and ethanol production. However, nutrient deficiencies pose a challenge, caused by imbalances in fertilizers, reduced transpiration, and unfavourable soil conditions. To address this, nutrient deficiencies must be identified early to achieve high yields and quality produce. Maize is an exhaustive crop that requires a balanced input of nutrients, as it depletes primary, secondary, and micronutrients from the soil. Soil fertility and expected outputs influence maize's nutritional needs, and external replenishment through organic and inorganic fertilizers is necessary. Current nutrient management practices often result in unbalanced plant nutrition, with micronutrient deficiencies such as copper, zinc, boron, and sulphur limiting maize yields. The routine use of NPK fertilizers across diverse soil types further exacerbates nutrient imbalances, impacting crop performance. Additionally, nutrient deficits in maize affect radiation use efficiency and leaf area index. Deregulated fertilizer prices have led to nutrient imbalances, decreased nutrient-use efficiency, and reduced farm profitability. Balancing the application of macronutrients (NPK) and ensuring an adequate supply of all 17 essential nutrients are crucial for optimizing crop performance. |
