“…This explains that higher levels of SOM produce better proportions of total porosity. SOM maximize total porosity (Guo et al, 2016), and in Wanka watershed, significant (p < 0.01) positive association (r = 0.71) (data not shown) was observed between total porosity and SOM. Soil management induced problems like intensive tillage without appropriate soil management may accelerate SOM degradation and compaction.…”

Abera W., Assen M.: Dynamics of selected soil quality indicators in response to land use/cover and elevation variations in Wanka watershed, northwestern Ethiopian highlands. Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 38, No. 2, p. 126-139, 2019. Soil quality (SQ) dynamics assessment vis-à-vis land use/land cover (LULC) and elevation variations in Ethiopia is desirable as elevation impact on land use is highly pronounced. This study examined SQ indicators dynamics across LULC and elevation variations. For this, surface soil samples (0−20 cm) were collected from the recognized LULC categories of different elevations in Wanka watershed, northwestern Ethiopian highlands. Both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples that were taken from three adjacent LULC (natural forest, grazing and cultivated lands) and elevation (2238-2300, 2400-2600, and 2700-2800) classes analysed for the selected physicochemical SQ indicators. Two-way ANOVA, Tukey's multiple comparison test and SQ deterioration index were computed. The impact of LULC and elevation was found significant on key SQ indicators. In cultivated and grazing lands, soil organic matter (SOM) and soil nutrients like total nitrogen declined significantly (p < 0.01). Conversely, bulk density increased significantly (p < 0.01). The divalent basic cations (Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ), cation exchange capacity and pH significantly (p < 0.01) decreased in upper elevation. Synergetic effect of LULC and elevation variations was found significant (p < 0.01) on SOM, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, water content at field capacity and soil particle distribution (silt and clay). Thus, elevation specific land management strategies that improve these SQ indicators need to be emphasized.

“…This is because the application of NPK fertilizer decreases water holding capacity, influences soil macro-aggregates stability, and reduces the soil ability to maintain soil moisture , reduces the soil pH (Belay et al 2002), and decreases organic matter and nutrient (total N) content (Zhang et al 2008(Zhang et al , 2012. Several studies revealed that continuous application of chemical fertilizers reduced the soil microbe population (Qin et al 2015) and earthworm activity (Guo et al 2016), which in turn, decreased the quality of soil fertility.…”

Abstract. Kuntyastuti H, Sutrisno. 2017. Effect of manure, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria, and chemical fertilizer application on the growth and yield of soybean. Nusantara . This study aimed to determine the dosages of organic, chemical and biological fertilizers for optimum growth and yield of soybean grown in acidic dryland. Treatments applied were twelve combinations of inorganic fertilizer, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), and manure. These treatments were arranged in a randomized block design, each was three replicates. The growth variables of plant height and chlorophyll index were observed in every two weeks interval, started at two weeks after planting. Root length and number of nodules were observed at 45 days after planting when the maximum vegetative growth occurred. Stem and root dry weight, number of filled and empty pods, pod dry weight, grain weight, and number of seeds per plant were observed at harvest. Optimum soybean growth and yield were achieved when soybean plants were treated with a combination of 1500 kg ha -1 of manure + PSB +150 kg ha -1 of NPK chemical fertilizer.Keywords: Chemical fertilizer, dry acid soil, manure, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, soybeanAbbreviations: NPK = nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, PSB = Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, DAP = day after planting, WAP = week after planting, LCI = leaf chlorophyll index, CEC = cation exchange capacity

coordinates and the total organic carbon content in compost were correlated. Two particle sizes of 0.5 and 2 mm were obtained in the compost samples; the surface color was analyzed with a CIE L * a * b * colorimeter and the total organic carbon content by spectrophotometry at 588.9 nm. e results indicate that all chromaticity values were significantly affected (p < 0.001) by particle size. Chromaticity values a * , b * , C * , and h°showed significantly strong Pearson correlations (r > 0.95). e coordinates a * (r � −0.992) and b * (r � 0.968) have the potential to be used in estimating the total organic carbon concentration in the compost samples analyzed.
