“…Chinensis (Table 2), and these results were consistent with the results of previous studies (Xu et al, 2002;Li et al, 2017;Youssef and Eissa, 2017;Serri et al, 2021). Consistent with the results of our study (Table 3), previous research also found that organic fertilization significantly increased soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and pH (Li X. et al, 2021), and chemical fertilization decreased soil pH (Li et al, 2019), but rabbit manure fertilizer increased soil EC compared to chemical fertilization (El-Mogy et al, 2020). Rabbit manure fertilizer decreased the nitrate content of Brassica rapa var.…”

The amount of chemical fertilizer for vegetables is on the high level in China. The use of organic fertilizers to meet the nutrient requirement of crops will be an inevitable practice in sustainable agriculture. In this study, we compared the effects of pig manure fertilizer, rabbit manure fertilizer and chemical fertilizer on yield, quality of Brassica rapa var. Chinensis, soil physico-chemical properties and microbial community by using two consecutive seasons of three fertilizers in a pot experiment. The results were as follows: (1) In the first season, the fresh yield of Brassica rapa var. Chinensis applying chemical fertilizer was significantly (p ≤ 5%) higher than those of applying the pig manure and rabbit manure fertilizer, and the results were the opposite in the second season. The total soluble sugar concentration of fresh Brassica rapa var. Chinensis applying rabbit manure fertilizer was significantly (p ≤ 5%) higher than those of applying pig manure fertilizer and chemical fertilizer in the first season, and the NO3-N content of fresh Brassica rapa var. Chinensis on the contrary. (2) The organic fertilizer increased the concentration of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and organic carbon in soil in both two seasons. Rabbit manure fertilizer increased the soil pH and EC and significantly (p ≤ 5%) reduced the soil NO3-N content. (3) The pig manure and rabbit manure fertilizer significantly (p ≤ 5%) increased the diversity and abundance of soil bacterial of Brassica rapa var. Chinensis, but had no significant effect on soil fungi. Pearson correlation analysis showed that soil TN, TP, organic carbon content and EC were significantly correlated with soil bacterial α - diversity. There were significant differences (p ≤ 5%) in the bacterial community structures between three treatments in two seasons, and significant differences (p ≤ 5%) in the fungal community structures between fertilizer treatments while not between two seasons. Pig manure and rabbit manure fertilizer decreased the relative abundance of soil Acidobacteria and Crenarchaeota, rabbit manure fertilizer significantly increased the abundance of Actinobacteria in the second season. Distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) showed that soil EC, TN, and organic carbon content were key physico-chemical factors in determining bacterial community structure in Brassica rapa var. Chinensis soil, and soil NO3-N, EC, SOC concentration and soil pH in the fungal community structure.

“…In this situation, the changes in applied organic fertilizer and released N, K and Ca in soil are relaying on the manure type and soil traits (Hernández et al 2016). Furthermore, organic fertilizers have soil microbial content and activity higher than chemical fertilizers (El-Mogy et al 2020). These findings might be linked with the amounts of organic carbon in various organic fertilizers (Chakraborty et al 2011;Amalraj et al 2013).…”

Accumulation of high level of nitrate (NO3−) in leaves is a serious issue for vegetable crops like lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Therefore, this study aimed to limit NO3− level by adjusting the balance between fertilization and irrigation program in lettuce. In a strip plot design with three replicates, lettuce plants were grown under four fertilizer treatments and three irrigation regimes. Three organic fertilizers (biochar, compost and vermicompost), in addition to mineral fertilizer, were used. The irrigation regimes were 60, 80 and 100% of crop evapotranspiration, ETc (ETc60, ETc80, and ETc100). Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) potassium (K) and organic matter (OM) in soil as well as yield, N, P, K and NO3− of lettuce were estimated. Findings showed that vermicompost or biochar (with any irrigation regime) as well as compost with irrigation by ETc60 were the effective combinations for increasing K content in soil after harvest. Under irrigation by ETc80 or ETc100, vermicompost or biochar were the efficient treatments for increasing lettuce yield equaling the farmer common practice (ETc100 x mineral fertilizer). Under irrigation by ETc60, mineral fertilizer or vermicompost showed the highest lettuce leaf content of K. Moreover, ETc60 or ETc80 x mineral fertilizer recorded the maximum NO3− content of lettuce leaves. The accumulation of nitrate in lettuce leaves owing to mineral fertilizer reached about 1.24 times than that of organic fertilizers. Compost x ETc80 or ETc100 showed the minimal NO3–N accumulation, hence, high relative reductions in NO3–N accumulation as compared to the common practice (ETc100 x mineral fertilizer) were observed. In conclusion, irrigation by 80% instead of 100% of crop evapotranspiration of organically fertilized lettuce (especially with vermicompost) could be adopted since such practice recorded high lettuce productivity with low NO3− content.

Combined application of organic and mineral fertilizers is crucial to obtaining high crop yields, increasing the utilization of nutrients by plants, and limiting their dispersion, thus protecting the environment, which underscores the importance of sustainable and minimally invasive agriculture. The aim of the field experiment was to determine the effect of application of rabbit manure (RM) and mineral nitrogen (Nmin) on the dry matter (DM) yield of maize and on nitrogen content, uptake, and use efficiency (NUE). RM application was tested at levels of 0, 20, 40 and 60 t·ha−1, and Nmin application at 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg·ha−1. Significant differences were noted in yield and in the content and uptake of nitrogen depending on both experimental factors. Increasing the application of RM and Nmin led to an increase in the yield of harvested maize and in the content and uptake of nitrogen. In terms of DM yield and nitrogen uptake (yield of crude protein), the most beneficial fertilizer variant was 60 t·ha−1 RM applied together with 100 kg·ha−1 Nmin. The highest NUE value was obtained following application of 20 t·ha−1 RM together with 150 kg·ha−1 Nmin.
