“…The detrimental impact of agriculture on the environment can be reduced by an appropriate management of fertilization aimed to minimize nutrient losses. A valuable alternative to mineral fertilization could be the application of organic fertilizers such as cow manure or compost that, recently, has showed a positive effect on soil properties (Diacono and Montemurro 2010;Baldi et al 2010), yield and plant nutritional status (Gallardo-Lara and Nogales 1987;Baldi et al 2014). The availability and quality of municipal solid waste (MSW) composts have increased and compost now represents a source of high quality organic matter (OM) that, beside the fertilization value (GallardoLara and Nogales 1987), contributes to recycle municipal solid and food-industry-related-wastes.…”

Recycled organic fertilizers may be used to replace chemical source of nutrients; however, some nutrients such as nitrogen and heavy metals released by mineralization can become potential pollutants. The objective of this experiment was to compare, over a 3-year-period of time, the effectiveness of two organic fertilizers (cow manure and compost) with a traditional mineral fertilizer on soil fertility, tree nutritional status, heavy metal concentration in soil and plant in a mature nectarine orchard. Trees were subjected, since their plantation (made in 2001) to the following treatments: (1) mineral fertilization (including nitrogen at 130 kg ha -1 year -1 );(2) cow manure (5 t DW year -1 ha -1 ); (3) compost (5 t DW year -1 ha -1 ). Soil organic matter and total nitrogen concentration increased as a consequence of compost application. Soil nitrate concentration was increased by mineral fertilizer and compost applications. In summer, macro and micro nutrient concentrations in leaves were not affected by treatments with the exception of N that was increased by mineral fertilization. At the end of the season, leaf N, K and Zn were remobilized to storage organs, while Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe and Mn accumulated in abscised leaves and returned to the soil, with no differences among treatments. Nitrogen and K were found principally in fruit flesh. With the exception of Cu and Zn, the concentration of heavy metals in leaves and fruits was below detection limits. Total and DTPA-extractable heavy metals in soil were not increased by organic fertilization if compared with mineral fertilizer.

“…Zn concentration increased only in control, while its level remained stable (and relatively higher) in plants of treated plots. Similarly, Baldi et al (2014), worked with nectarine trees, which belongs to the Rosaceae family, the same family of pear trees, reported, between mature stage and post-abscission, increase in P, Ca, Mg, Fe and Mn concentration per leaf area, and reduction in N, K and Zn concentration in the same period, while Cu concentration remained stable. N concentration reduction reflects nutrient translocation to storage organs (branches, stem and roots) at the end of the growing season, since during senescence, the transport of soluble nutrients is facilitated (QUARTIERI et al, 2002;ENGELS et al, 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to verify the influence of biofertilizer application resulting from energy production from corn biomass on nutrient uptake by pear plants during the growing cycle, and on fruit quality. The experiment was carried out on a Siltic Haplic Calcisol in the Italian province of Ferrara, in a medium-density Abbé Fétel commercial orchard. Treatments consisted of control (no application) and biofertilizer (30 m3 ha-1 biofertilizer application on the row), with four replicates. The following variables were evaluated: mineral N, microbial biomass and respiration in soil; nutrient content in leaves; and fruit quality. Biofertilizer application increased soil mineral N availability; soil microbial biomass and respiration, but the content of this nutrient did not increase in leaves. Leaf nutrient concentration varied during growth season and biofertilizer application increased potassium, phosphorus and zinc concentration in mature leaves and reduced leaf magnesium and manganese concentration. Biofertilizer application reduced fruit dry matter content, total soluble solids and boron concentration, with no effect on fruit firmness and titratable acidity. Biofertilizer application has positive effect on soil mineral N dynamics and soil microflora, altering the content of nutrients in leaves, favoring fruit production.

“…In addition to improving plant development, biostimulants increase the biomass in different crops such as the almond tree [14]. Another type of products that falls within the definition of biostimulants, such as compost, improves the development and growth of peach trees [15]. On the other hand, it is important to point out that there is not only an increase in the productions, but also an organoleptic improvement of production in the case of fruit trees [16].…”

Due to the increase of high-density holdings, especially of olive trees, the nutritional requirements of the plants are higher per unit area, which implies that a greater contribution of fertilizers to the soil is needed. Opting for fertilizers of inorganic origin will produce an increase in the pollution of the soil. In the face of this possible soil contamination, our aim is to analyze the effect of biostimulants as an alternative to chemical fertilizers, to steadily produce and maintain high quality standards during the life of the crop. Our objective is using more environmentally friendly products in order to satisfy one of the most important demands from both consumers and the authorities. In this study, we carried out five different treatments in addition to a control treatment with a supply of NPK, from inorganic products, which are used to control fertilization with a solution obtained from seaweed extracts. These treatments were applied in two crop cycles for two of the most important varieties in the current olive tree growing scenario: Arbequina and Koroneiki. Hernández-Hernandez et al.; AJAAR, 10(4): 1-11, 2019; Article no.AJAAR.49116 2 This study was developed in the farm Pozohondo, which is located in a crop zone by the Palancia river (Castellón, Valencia, Spain), in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, where the olive trees were established in a high-density system with a planting framework of 4 x 1.5 m. We ensured an exhaustive control of the nutritional needs of the holding by using a fertigation system. We could notice differences in the productions of each applied treatment, avoiding any possible biases through the additional control of 100 randomly selected olives from each of the samples. There is an improvement in the set of physical characteristics of the olives with the treatment that provides amino acids and extra potassium based on amni acids. We analyzed the quality of the olive oil obtained from the production of each treatment by measuring the fatty acids, tocopherols and polyphenols contents. We also carried out an organoleptic tasting analysis following the rules of the International Olive Committee (IOC). We observed an improvement with regard to the rest of treatments in the pomological parameters of the olives when applying the potassium and amino acid biostimulant, while the quality of the oils was not affected by the type of fertilization applied in each treatment.
