“…The addition of animal waste, mainly via poultry litter in treatment NTPL, increased the Ca and CEC pH7 levels. In GrP, cattle droppings increased the P and K concentrations, which are related to urine and manure droppings (Moreira et al, 2010).…”

“…On the other hand, the cattle droppings in GrP resulted in significant increases in most elements such as K, Na, due to the high concentration of these elements in bovine urine; and P, Mg and Ca, due to their concentration in cattle dung (Moreira et al, 2010). Also noteworthy was the significant increase in Fe, Al and Si concentrations in the soil solution under grazed pasture (GrP), which may be associated with processes of mineral dissolution/transformation (Azevedo et al, 1996;Officer et al, 2006;Zanelli et al, 2007;Inda et al, 2010;.…”

Changes in land use and management can affect the dynamic equilibrium of soil systems and induce chemical and mineralogical alterations. This study was based on two long-term experiments (10 and 27 years) to evaluate soil used for no-tillage maize cultivation, with and without poultry litter application (NTPL and NTM), and with grazed native pasture fertilized with cattle droppings (GrP), on the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of a Rhodic Paleudult in Southern Brazil, in comparison with the same soil under native grassland (NGr). In the four treatments, soil was sampled from the 0.0-2.5 and 2.5-5.0 cm layers. In the air-dried fine soil (ADFS) fraction (∅ < 2 mm), chemical characteristics of solid and liquid phases and the specific surface area (SSA) were evaluated. The clay fraction (∅ < 0.002 mm) in the 0.0-2.5 cm layer was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) after treatments for identification and characterization of 2:1 clay minerals. Animal waste application increased the total organic C concentration (COT) and specific surface area (SSA) in the 0.0-2.5 cm layer. In comparison to NGr, poultry litter application (NTPL) increased the concentrations of Ca and CECpH7, while cattle droppings (GrP) increased the P and K concentrations. In the soil solution, the concentration of dissolved organic C was positively related with COT levels. With regard to NGr, the soil use with crops (NTM and NTPL) had practically no effect on the chemical elements in solution. On the other hand, the concentrations of most chemical elements in solution were higher in GrP, especially of Fe, Al and Si. The Fe and Al concentrations in the soil iron oxides were lower, indicating reductive/complexive dissolution of crystalline forms. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of clay in the GrP environment showed a decrease in intensity and reflection area of the 2:1 clay minerals. This fact, along with the intensified Al and Si activity in soil solution indicate dissolution of clay minerals in soil under cattle-grazed pasture fertilized with animal droppings.

“…According to Vilela et al (2002), the P and N deficiency is the most frequent cause of loss in pasture productivity and increased environmental degradation. It has often been shown that in soil with high deficiency of P, only the application of N has little impact on crop yields, as its application plus P can drastically increase the response to the fertilizer applied (Moreira and Malavolta 2001;Singh 2001;Dwivedi et al 2003;Moreira et al 2010).…”

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the important causes of degradation of cultivated pasture under tropical conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate phosphate rates and sources, and N rates on the concentration and uptake of N and P, and shoot dry mass (SDM) yield of Megathyrsus maximum grass cv Mombasa in an Ultisol. The trial was carried out in a greenhouse in pots with 4.0 dm −3 of soil. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with four replicates. The 3 × 3 × 3 factorial treatments consisted of phosphorus sources [reactive rock phosphate from Morocco (RPM), reactive rock phosphate from Algeria (RPA) and triple superphosphate (TSP)], three phosphorus rates (0, 150, and 300 mg kg −1), and three N rates (0, 250, and 500 mg kg −1). The SDM and tillering of Mombasa grass were significantly influenced with the TSP, RPM, and RPA application associated with N fertilization. The RPM, RPA, and TSP met the nutritional demands of Mombasa grass. The three P sources showed the same effect on the total N uptake by Mombasa grass. The P use efficiency (PUE) when fertilizer-P sources were added alone by Mombasa grass was <12% of the added P, and PUE decreased as follows: TSP > RPA > RPM. When P and N-fertilizer were added together, the fertilizer-N use efficiency (NUE) was 62%. The reactive phosphate (RPM and RPA) is an efficient P sources for Mombasa grass, but requiring higher rate of application compared to TSP source.

“…However, despite the promising results described by Moreira et al (2010) with the application of cattle manure, by Miranda et al (2005) with lime, and with both products by Souza et al (2010), few studies have reported the positive effects of this management practice on crop yield and soil chemical properties.…”

Most tropical soils have high acidity and low natural fertility. The appropriate application of lime and cattle manure corrects acidity, improves physical and biological properties, increases soil fertility, and reduces the use of chemical and/or synthetic fertilizers by crops, such as soybean, the main agricultural export product of Brazil. This study aimed to assess the effects of the combination of the application of dolomite limestone (0, 5, and 10 Mg ha −1 ) and cattle manure (0, 40, and 80 Mg ha −1 ) on grain yield and the chemical properties of an Oxisol (Red Latosol) cultivated with soybean for two consecutive years. The maximum grain yield was obtained with the application of 10 Mg ha −1 of lime and 80 Mg ha −1 of cattle manure. Liming significantly increased pH index, the concentrations of calcium (Ca 2+ ) and exchangeable magnesium (Mg 2+ ), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soil and reduced potential acidity (H + + Al 3+ ), while the application of cattle manure increased pH level; the concentrations of potassium (K + ), Ca 2+ , and exchangeable Mg 2+ ; and CEC of the soil. During the 2 years of assessment, the greatest grain yields were obtained with saturation of K + , Ca 2+ , and Mg 2+ in CEC at the 4.4, 40.4, and 17.5 levels, respectively. The results indicated that the ratios of soil exchangeable Ca/Mg, Ca/K, K/Mg, and K/(Ca+Mg) can be modified to increase the yield of soybean grains.
