“…Soil structure governs the storage and transport of water and nutrients and heat regimes (Horel et al, 2019), and thus determines crop and vegetation performance (Miedema, 1997). Composted organic matter has direct and indirect effects on soil structure (Cahyono et al, 2020;Ghezzehei, 2012;Kranz et al, 2020;Or et al, 2021). Composting improves soil structure by the binding between organic matter and clay particles via cation bridges (direct effect) and through stimulation of microbial activity and root growth (Farrell and Jones, 2009;Gao et al, 2010).…”

Despite the increasing interest in applying composts as soil amendments worldwide, there is a lack of knowledge on short-term effects of compost amendments on soil structural and hydraulic properties. Our goal was to study the effect of compost and vermicompost-based soil amendments on soil structure, soil water retention characteristics, aggregate stability and plant water use efficiency compared to that of mineral fertilizers and food-waste digestate and examine if these effects are evident within a short time after application. We set up a pot experiment with spring wheat using a sandy and a loamy soil receiving either mineral fertilizer (MF); dewatered digestate from anaerobic digestion of food waste (DG), vermicomposted digestate (VC_DG); sewage sludge-based compost (C_SS) and sewage sludge-based vermicompost (VC_SS). We then monitored and calculated the soil water balance components (irrigation, outflow, evaporation, transpiration, and soil water content). At harvest, we measured shoot biomass, soil texture, bulk density, water retention characteristics and aggregate stability. The irrigation use efficiency (IE) and the plant water use efficiency (WUE) were calculated for each treatment by dividing the transpiration and the dry shoot biomass with the amount of water used for irrigation, respectively. For the sandy soil, we used X-Ray computed tomography to visualise the pore system after applying organic amendments and to derive metrics of the pore-network such as its fractal dimension, imaged macroporosity and critical pore diameter. X-Ray tomography indicated that composting and vermicomposting resulted in more complex and diverse porous system and increased soil macroporosity. The increased fractal dimensions also indicated that compost and vermicompost can contribute to structure formation and stabilization within a short time after their application. Despite the small application rate and short incubation time, the application of organic amendments to the two different soil types resulted in improved soil water holding capacity and water use efficiency. Composting and vermicomposting appeared to have the best effect at reducing the irrigation demand and evaporation losses and increasing the water use efficiency of the plant, likely through their effect on soil structure and the pore-size distribution.

Ultisols are soils that develop in humid tropical areas and are formed due to an intensive leaching process, resulting in the accumulation of clay in the subsoil. A decrease in the chemical-physical properties of Ultisols, such as a decrease in the levels of organic C, total N, cation exchange capacity (CEC), base saturation, and on the other hand, an increase in Al saturation and soil bulk density, can occur as a result of continuous monoculture cultivation. Improving the quality of degraded soil is usually carried out by amelioration using compost. Still, the addition of compost often only has a significant effect on improving the physical properties of the soil. Coal ash in the form of fly ash-bottom ash (FABA) is a waste product from burning coal in electric steam power plants. The amount of FABA is very abundant and its utilization is minimal. FABA has an alkaline pH and contains various nutrients in varying amounts. Therefore FABA has the potential to be used as an ameliorant to improve the chemical properties of acid soils such as Ultisols. Experiments with the spread technique of compost+FABA at a dose of 50 tons/ha and in rows technique at a dose of 25 tons/ha, 15 tons/ha, and 5 tons/ha were conducted to determine the effect of the treatment on soil chemical properties. Application of FABA-enriched compost in rows technique at a dose of 25 tons/ha had a significant effect and showed the best soil chemical properties, including increasing organic C, total N, total P, available P, exch-K, -Ca, -Mg, and -Na, CEC, base saturation, and decreased Al saturation. Utilization of FABA as a soil ameliorant combined with compost can improve soil quality more effectively.

“…As the only tropical fruit serving as the source of bromelain -an enzyme used by pharmaceutical industries [2], pineapple thrives very well in tropical and subtropical regions with a climate that ranges from the mild coastal zone to about 1000 meters altitude, on the condition that the milieu is devoid of frost. Thus, pineapple is commercially cultivated in a humid and warm climate, with latitudes ranging from 30 ⁰N to 33 °S in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere [1]. The varieties usually cultivated in Africa and Ghana are Smooth Cayenne, Sugarloaf, and the MD2, with the Coastal Savannah being a production hotspot in Ghana [3].…”

CROPWAT 8.0 model was used to estimate the water requirement of pineapple for the 2021/22 cropping period, considering all the months in the year. This was done to ascertain which months in the year have lower irrigation water requirements and where water savings can be made. For the months of December to August, irrigation requirement (mm) of 140, 145.1, 113.3, 110.8, 110.9, 145.9, 107.6 and 114, respectively was determined at the study site. However, sucker planting in September, October and November has shown requirements (mm) of 72.8, 61.3, 61.4 respectively, and adjusting the planting calendar to accommodate these months is recommended.
