“…The chelating action of organic manures has been found to increase the availability of micronutrients and aided in preventing their adsorption, fixation, and precipitation [44,45]. Dhaliwal et al [10] reported a significant increase in DTPA-extractable micronutrients with manuring over the application of the recommended dose of fertilizers under a rice-wheat system. Parven et al [46], Rutkowska et al [47], and Singh et al [48] also reported similar results.…”

“…They not only supply nutrients to the current crop but also leave residual effects on the succeeding crop. The use of organic manures has beneficial effects on soil health by improving the physicochemical properties of soil besides supplying macronutrients and increasing the availability of micronutrients [10]. Organic manures also improve soil chemical properties such as supply and retention of soil nutrients and promotion of favorable enzymatic reactions [11].…”

Nutrient use efficiency is reported as a strong indicator of the buildup soil nutrient status for nutritional security of crops through an integrated nutrient management approach under a rice-wheat system. The data revealed that integrated application of manures and fertilizers reported maximum organic carbon (0.39%) in the treatment receiving 100% of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) + farmyard manure and lowering the pH to 6.39. The maximum available N (360.8 kg ha−1) was found in 100% RDF + press mud treatment; available P (66.30 kg ha−1) was found in 75% RDF + poultry manure; and available K, Zn, Cu, and Fe (226.3 kg ha−1 and 2.220, 0.732, and 36.87 mg kg−1, respectively) in 100% RDF + farmyard manure treatments. Similarly, total macro- and micronutrient content in soil increased with the addition of organic manures alone or in combination with chemical fertilizers. The highest agronomic efficiency and utilization efficiency of nitrogen (41.83 and 102.55 kg kg−1, respectively) and phosphorous (83.57 and 204.9 kg kg−1, respectively) were recorded in the treatment receiving 75% RDF + poultry manure. This study concluded that the integrated application of manures and chemical fertilizers is a must for improving soil nutrient status and nutrient use efficiency and ultimately enhances nutritional security under a rice-wheat system.

“…The importance of co-application of chemical fertilisers with manure for the essential metal availability from soils was highlighted in a review by Dhaliwal et al [84]. The analysis of our data suggests that C-rich FYM could usefully be supplemented with sulphate salts of Zn, Fe and Cu.…”

The role of pedogenesis and natural fertiliser as vectors for essential metal content in agricultural topsoils, Central India

Essential trace metals are well known for their environmental toxicity and for being part of complex bio-chemical cycles. Their role as critical micronutrients, delivering vital health benefits, is less widely discussed and understood, holding back strategies for combatting malnutrition. Crops grown on many Indian soils suffer from deficiencies in essential metals, notably iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and molybdenum (Mo). The list of deficient metals will likely grow due to increasing future crop demand. Geostatistical analysis of soils and farmyard manure (FYM), the predominant fertiliser, implies that residual oxide minerals carry high concentrations of the essential trace metals Fe, Zn, copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn) not only in soil but also in FYM (especially Fe, Cr, Cu, Co and Ni). A geochemical survey across a road traverse of 600 km, encompassing an area of c. 15,000 km2, was conducted in Central India to evaluate reported essential metal deficiency in key agricultural topsoils. Importantly, our evaluation of the element cycling in this system reveals that despite high bulk concentrations, some key metals remain bio-unavailable. In effect, the existence of refractory (weathering-resistant) oxides is likely a significant factor for deficiency symptoms in the soil–plant-fertiliser cycle. Further, mass balance calculations of the bioavailable pool of metals imply that only Fe and Mn are present in sufficient quantities to combat deficiency problems. Notwithstanding this limitation of FYM, its high organic carbon content, as well as its importance for Zn, Cu and Fe, validates its traditional use to maintain the fertility and physical condition of Indian topsoils.

“…Dhaliwal et al (2010) also recorded a 23.1% rise in OC under manure application over the initial level. Although exogenous supply of OM serves as a notable source of SOC (Dhaliwal et al 2019b), Anantha et al (2018) observed that a greater part of about 71% of the applied C was lost leaving a lower amount (29%) to stabilize into soil under agriculture in semi-arid climate. Lack of shades under cropland and uncultivated land as compared to orchards might be another reason that facilitate C loss from the soil (Grigal and Berguson 1998).…”

This is a study of long-term impact of agricultural land-uses on soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, its depth-wise distribution among some selected carbon pools, and their contribution towards loss of C through mineralization as CO 2 to understand the present situation as well as to elucidate future strategies. Soil samples from croplands, horticultural lands, and uncultivated lands in semi-arid India (south-western Punjab) were assessed for basic physico-chemical properties, SOC, SOC stock, KMnO 4oxidizable C (KOC), particulate organic C (POC), and C mineralization (CO 2-C cum). Orchards showed highest potential to sequester carbon imparting a trend of horticulture > croplands > uncultivated lands regarding SOC and its pools. Weighted mean values showed the similar trend where croplands and uncultivated lands were mostly at par. Up to 90 cm depth orchards exhibited highest SOC stock (74.89 Mg ha −1) followed by croplands (53.87 Mg ha −1) and uncultivated lands (43.72 Mg ha −1). Decrease in C along the profile was pronounced under croplands. The studied pools were positively correlated with highest magnitude observed in between POC and SOC (r = 0.831, P = 0.01). Least positive linear relation with C mineralization was exhibited by POC particularly under horticulture, and highest C mineralization was recorded in the case of KOC under cultivation. Due to having greater POC contents which is less susceptible to mineralization loss, horticulture exhibited long-term stability of soil C than croplands. Croplands suggest faster loss of soil C for the presence of labile KOC fraction in a comparatively higher extent. Therefore, inclusion of horticultural land-use could be considered as a positive strategy to maintain the future productivity as well as sustainability of the studied area where intensive cultivation is prevailed.
