“…The risk of nitrate contamination of the soil water from compost application was limited and comparable with inorganic fertilizer at 90 kg ha -1 and less. These products are easily available on the market in large amounts and have been found to be effective in promoting barley growth under greenhouse conditions (Hountin et al 1995). In addition, composts improved soil water retention through their organic matter contribution to a sandy soil under dry climatic conditions.…”

The addition of compost may mitigate soil degradation and contribute to the soil nutrient supply in spring cereal monoculture. A field study was carried out in eastern Quebec, Canada, to assess the impact of composts from four sources and ammonium nitrate (AN) applied at different rates in spring on soil moisture and inorganic N in spring wheat production (Triticum aestivum L. 'Messier'). The experiment was conducted in 1994 and 1995 on two different soils: a Kamouraska clay (Orthic Humic Gleysol) and a Saint-André sandy loam (Fragic Humo-Ferric Podzol). Composts were applied at rates of 0, 90, 180 and 360 kg total N ha−1. Ammonium nitrate was applied at 0, 45, 90 and 180 kg N ha–1. Treatments in which AN was added to composts were also included. Thirty days after N application, profile soil inorganic N increased linearly with rates of commercial composts and AN but not with farm composts, whereas at harvest, residual soil N was not affected by composts but was increased by AN. The relative contribution of the compost organic fraction was negligible in the first year of application. Soil inorganic N at 30 d after fertilizer applications was significantly related to plant N uptake at harvest (r2 = 0.74), suggesting useful index of compost N availability. Large amounts of compost raised soil moisture content of the sandy loam by 3–5%, particularly under dry climatic conditions. Commercial composts have a small N fertilizer value, whereas composted dairy manure should be considered preferable as a soil amendment.

“…Although amendments were applied to the soil surface, some P must have moved downwards in the profile. Also, compost additions may have improved the retention of the nutrients in the soil, as postulated by Hountin et al (1995) using a loamy sand soil.…”

Warman, P. R. and Cooper, J. M. 2000. Fertilization of a mixed forage crop with fresh and composted chicken manure and NPK fertilizer: Effects on dry matter yield and soil and tissue N, P and K. Can. J. Soil Sci. 80: 337-344. An experiment was conducted for 3 yr to compare the effects of fertilization of mixed forage with fresh and composted chicken manure and inorganic NPK. Fertility amendments were applied each year at three N levels and an unfertilized treatment was included. The experiment was conducted in two hay fields near Truro, Nova Scotia. Dry matter yield and forage N, P and K contents are reported for the 1992 and 1993 seasons. The nutrient content of the amendments as well as the efficiency of P and K use are discussed. Soil Mehlich 3-extractable P and K and KCl-extractable N were measured at two depths in September 1993. By the final year of the experiment, compost amendments produced yields as high as the recommended rate of NPK fertilization at both sites on both harvest dates. Medium rates of compost application also resulted in tissue N levels as high as or higher than the equivalent NPK treatments. The medium rate of manure application was equivalent in yield and tissue N to the compost treatments at the Acadia site, but had slightly lower yields and tissue N content at the Pugwash site. Compost P and K were relatively inefficiently used by the forage; this resulted in increased levels of Mehlich 3-extractable P and K in the 0-to 15-cm layer of the compost-amended plots. It was concluded that fertilization with compost or inorganic NPK, supplying equal amounts of N, can result in comparable yields and quality of forage. Dans la dernière année de l'expérience, le fumier composté donnait lieu à des rendements fourragers comparables à ceux obtenus à la dose recommandée de fumure minérale NPK, aux deux emplacements et pour les deux dates de récolte. Les doses moyennes d'é-pandage sous forme compostée produisaient des concentrations de N dans le fourrage au moins aussi hautes que la fumure minérale NPK équivalente. L'effet de la dose moyenne d'épandage de fumier frais sur le rendement et sur les concentrations azotées du fourrage équivalait à celui du fumier composté à l'emplacement Acadia, mais à Pugwash les rendements et les concentrations de N du fourrage étaient légèrement inférieurs à ceux obtenus avec le fumier composté. Le P et le K apportés dans le compost étaient relativement mal valorisés par les cultures fourragères, ce qui se manifestait par une augmentation des concentrations de P et de K extractibles dans la solution Mehlich-3 dans les 15 premiers cm du sol des parcelles traitées au compost. On peut conclure que la fumure sous forme de fumier composté ou d'engrais minéral NPK fournit des quantités semblables de N et permet d'obtenir des rendements fourragers comparables, en quantité et en qualité.

“…Shrimp shells generally contain 30 to 50% minerals by dry weight, which are dominated by CaCO3, and contain 8 to 10% Ca3(PO4) 2 of the total inorganic matter that can contribute plant nutrients and will also absorb certain organic compounds, especially polyphenol groups and quinone which is a growth factor [18]. According to [19], the indirect effects of humic substances on higher plants are those in which humic substances act as regulators or suppliers of nutrients for plants, in the same way as synthetic ion exchangers. The content of shrimp waste also affects the growth of weeds on spinach plants (Table 2).…”

The presence of weeds in spinach cultivation land is strongly influenced by the application of fertilizer. Fertilizer has a different content so that it will have an impact on the weed species growth. Identification in this study aims to determine the types of weed species that grow and the dominant types of weed species that grow on spinach cultivation land before and after the application of shrimp waste fertilizer. This research was conducted from June to August 2021, on horticultural crop cultivation in the Sinar Harapan Farmers Group, Tarakan City. The sampling method was a random method using a square plot method with a size of 1 x 1 m as many as 30 samples before and after the application of shrimp waste fertilizer. Observation parameters are counting the number of weed species and the name of the weed species. The data obtained in the field is then processed to determine the level of density, frequency, significant value index (INP), Summed Dominance Ratio (SDR), Margalef Index, Shanon-Wiener Index, Evennes Index and Sorensen Index. The results showed that the weed species before the application of shrimp waste fertilizer on spinach plants were 27 species with the dominant weed species being Cyperus compressus with a Summed Dominance Ratio value of 22.72%. Weed species before the application of shrimp waste fertilizer on spinach plants were 25 species with the dominant weed species namely Cyperus compressus with a Summed Dominance Ratio value of 20.51%. The Margalef index before the application of shrimp waste fertilizer was 3.20 and after the application of shrimp waste fertilizer was 3.05. The Shanon-Wiener index before the application of shrimp waste fertilizer was 2.60 and after the application of shrimp waste fertilizer was 2.40. Evennes index before the application of shrimp waste fertilizer is 0.79 and after the application of shrimp waste fertilizer is 0.74 and the Sorensen index is 85%
