“…Despite the superiority of mineral fertilization, there was a residual effect of application of compost from one crop to the next. Adami et al (2012), in a study on fertilization with poultry litter, also found a residual effect on yield of black oat in succession with corn.…”

ABSTRACT:Composting is a useful way of transforming livestock waste into organic fertilizer, which is proven to increase soil nutrient levels, and thus crop yield. Remains from production and slaughter of small ruminants can become a source of important elements for plant growth, such as N, after microorganism-driven decomposition.The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of this compost on soil fertility and on the nutritional status and yield of the corn crop. The experiment was conducted in a Haplic Luvisol in a randomized block design with six treatments and five application rates of the organic compound in Mg ha -1 : 3 (half the standard rate), 6 (standard rate), 9 (one and a half times the standard rate), 12 (twice the standard rate), and 24 (four times the standard rate) and an additional treatment with mineral fertilizers (110, 50 e 30 kg ha -1 of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O, respectively), with four blocks. Evaluations were performed for two harvests of rainfed crops, measuring soil fertility, nutritional status, and grain yield. The compost increased P, K, Na and Zn values in the 0.00-0.20 m layer in relation of mineral fertilization in 616, 21, 114 and 90 % with rate 24 Mg ha -1 in second crop. Leaf N, Mg, and S contents, relative chlorophyll content, and the productivity of corn kernels increased in 27, 32, 36, 20 e 85 %, respectively, of low rate (3 Mg ha -1 ) to high rate (24 Mg ha -1 ) with of application of the compost. Corn yield was higher with application of organic compost in rate of 24 Mg ha -1 than mineral fertilizer combination in second crop.

“…We found no studies on the effects of associating poultry litter and Arad phosphate fertilizer over growth response and production of tropical forage grasses such as Urochloa brizantha and Panicum maximum. However, the positive effects of poultry litter on corn (Zea mays) and soybean (Glycine max) yields, as well as the effect of Arad phosphate on dry-matter production, have already been described (Adami et al, 2012;Orrico Júnior et al, 2013;Ragagnin et al, 2013). In this context, we tested the hypothesis that Arad phosphate fertilization associated with poultry litter would favor tropical forage grasses production and development, as well as P concentration in diagnostic leaves.…”

The interaction of natural reactive phosphate with poultry litter may increase the production of forage grasses as a result of phosphorus (P) uptake. This study's goal was to analyze growth, production and P concentration of diagnostic leaves of forage grasses fertilized by an Arad reactive phosphate + poultry litter association. The experiment employed a 2 3 factorial, with the following factors: forage grasses (Urochloa brizantha and Panicum maximum), Arad rates (0 and 50 mg dm-3 P 2 O 5), and poultry litter (0 and 7.5 g dm-3). At the first harvest, the highest dry-matter production of leaves, sheaths + stems and shoots occurred in the interaction P. maximum × Arad × poultry litter. P concentrations in diagnostic leaves as well as number of leaves were similar between forage grasses, but higher in the interaction between Arad + poultry litter when compared to isolated fertilizers. At the second harvest, dry-matter production of shoots and sheaths + stems was higher in the U. brizantha + poultry litter interaction than in other interactions. Compared to the other fertilizers, P concentration in the diagnostic leaves at second harvest was higher in grasses fertilized with poultry litter. At second harvest, the number of leaves and tillers was highest in the U. brizantha + Arad + poultry litter interaction, followed by the Arad + poultry litter interaction. The association of Arad and poultry litter promotes adequate P nutrition and biomass production of forage grasses, and can therefore be considered an important instrument for the establishment of these grasses.

“…An alternative to enhance the benefits provided by the use of cover crops is also the use of organic waste as an alternative source of N in succession cropping. Considering the growth in the poultry sector and consequently this waste, it is necessary to use rational management techniques that minimize its impact on the environment, since poultry farming is an activity considered to have a high polluting potential (ADAMI et al, 2012). Poultry litter consists of a mixture of excrement with absorbent material from this poultry litter, in addition to feathers, shedding and feed remains from feeders (VIRTUOSO et al, 2015).…”

The use of soil cover plants and alternative sources of nitrogen fertilization can promote improvements in the biological characteristics of the soil. The objective of this study was to determine the contribution of the isolated and/or intercropped cultivation of ground cover crops in autumn/winter and the use of poultry litter as a source of N in the wheat crop in succession on the soil mesofauna and macrofauna community. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with split plots, in a factorial arrangement (4 x 4), with three replications. The collections of the edaphic fauna were realized with pitfall traps PROVID in plots of 15 m². The edaphic fauna orders, abundance, Shannon diversity, Simpson dominance, Pielou evenness and the family of organisms of the order Collembola were evaluated. The use of ground cover plants in autumn/winter, induced a greater abundance of edaphic fauna organisms, which were mostly represented by the order Collembola, belonging to the Entomobryidae family. The isolated or intercropped cultivation of cover crops, associated with the use of N via poultry litter, enabled a greater diversity of organisms and a uniform distribution of different groups in the edaphic community.
