“…MSWC has been reported to effectively supply P to soil with soil P concentration increasing with increasing application rates (Hargreaves et al, 2008). In general, on calcareous soils, Ca-P are the predominate pool of soil P and their solubility is not directly influenced by redox reactions (Sah and Mikkelsen, 1986).…”

This study was conducted in order to evaluate effects of phosphorous fertilizer (PF)s from sources of triple superphosphate (TSP) and di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and organic fertilizer (OF)s from sources of cow dung manure (CDM) and municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) on phosphorous (P) fractions include aluminium-P (Al-P), iron-P (Fe-P), Reductant soluble-P (RS-P), calcium-P (Ca-P) and available-P (Olsen-P) fractions under rice cultivation condition. The trials were carried out in calcareous and acidic soils. PFs were added at three levels (10, 20 and 30 mg kg-1) and OFs was applied at the rate of 10 t.ha -1 . Results of this study showed that Ca-P was the predominant form of P in calcareous soil while Fe-P and Al-P were predominate in acidic soils. In calcareous soil, all forms of P under submerged conditions had been increased because of using PFs both alone and in combination with OFs. In acidic soil, significant amounts of P fractions were found only in Fe-P and RS-P fractions. Accordingly, Fe-P fraction increased in 10 mg kg -1 treatment and RS-P increased in MSWC treatment. Among the inorganic P fractions in calcareous soil, only RS-P; and in acidic soil, Ca-P and Fe-P significantly correlated to Olsen-P.

“…One of the limitations for the use of urban garbage compost as organic fertilizer is the risk of this material containing high contents of heavy metals (Hargreaves et al, 2008), which can be absorbed by the plant and, in the case of food crops, harm the population's health. In the case of castor bean and since it is a crop with higher industrial value, whose product is a non-edible oil, the use of urban garbage compost becomes an adequate option.…”

A B S T R A C TThe study was conducted in two experiments in greenhouse of the CTRN/UFCG, aiming to evaluate the use of organic compost from household garbage and irrigation with treated domestic wastewater on the growth of castor bean 'BRS-188/Paraguaçu' and sunflower 'Embrapa 122-V2000' . Both experiments were conducted a randomized block design in 6 x 2 factorial scheme, with three replicates, which corresponded to six doses of organic compost (0, 1.2, 2.0, 2.8, 3.6 and 4.4 kg pot -1 , equivalent to 0, 60, 100, 140, 180 and 220 kg N ha -1 ) and two types of water (freshwater and wastewater). It was found that the organic compost doses significantly influenced the growth of sunflower and castor bean in all evaluations, except for stem diameter. The maximum plant heights were 91.7 cm for castor bean and 85.2 cm for sunflower at the doses of 180 and 220 kg N ha -1 , respectively. The highest values of number of leaves were obtained for the N dose of 220 kg ha -1 in both crops. The influence of wastewater on growth variables was only observed in the final evaluations, for both sunflower and castor bean.Composto orgânico e água residuária sobre o crescimento inicial de plantas oleaginosas R E S U M O O trabalho foi desenvolvido em dois experimentos em casa de vegetação do CTRN/UFCG objetivando avaliar o uso de composto orgânico oriundo de lixo doméstico e irrigação com água residuária doméstica tratada no crescimento das culturas da mamona BRS-188/Paraguaçu e girassol EMBRAPA 122-V2000. Em ambos os experimentos utilizou-se o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 6 x 2 com 3 repetições sendo 6 doses de composto orgânico (0; 1,2; 2,0; 2,8; 3,6 e 4,4 kg vaso -1 , correspondentes a 0, 60, 100, 140, 180 e 220 kg N ha -1 ) e 2 tipos de água (água de abastecimento e água residuária). Verificou-se que as doses de composto orgânico influenciaram significativamente o crescimento do girassol e da mamona, em todas as avaliações, exceto para o diâmetro do caule. As alturas máximas de planta foram de 91,7 cm para mamona e 85,2 cm para o girassol nas doses de 180 e 220 kg N ha -1 , respectivamente. Os maiores valores de número de folhas foram obtidos para a dose de 220 kg N ha -1 em ambas as culturas. A influência da água residuária nas variáveis de crescimento só foi verificada nas avaliações finais, tanto para o girassol como para a mamona.

“…Municipal-waste compost contains a high amount of organic matter, and incorporation in soil may therefore increase soil aggregate stability, reduce the draught force for soil tillage (Peltre et al, 2015), promote soil microbial activity and enhance soil chemical properties (Hargreaves et al, 2008). No adverse effects of the application of municipal waste compost on croplands have been reported (Poulsen et al, 2013).…”
