“…Our results are also in agreement with Haynes and Naidu (1998). However, some researchers demonstrated that application of manure increased the soil pH (Ondrášek and Čunderlík 2008). Lafayette et al (2009) reported that gypsum did not cause any significant change on the soil pH in acidic soils.…”

Combined application of organic and inorganic amendments was known to play a significant role in improvement of soil properties. A field experiment was conducted to explore the effects of gypsum, farmyard manure and commercial humic acid application on the amelioration of salt affected (saline sodic) soil. During this study, soil pH, electrical conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio, responses of root length and rice paddy yield were examined. Application of gypsum with or without farm manure and commercial humic acid decreased soil pH (8.26%), electrical conductivity (from 6.35 dS/m to 2.65 dS/m) and sodium adsorption ratio (from 26.56 to 11.60), and increased root length (from 9.17 cm to 22.6 cm) and paddy yield (from 695.7 kg/ha to 1644 kg/ha). A negative but significant correlation was observed between root length and electrical conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio (r = -0.93; -0.94, respectively, P ≤ 0.05), whereas positive and significant correlation with paddy yield (r = 0.96; P ≤ 0.05).

“…Organic fertilisation, using particularly manure and compost, improves soil fertility by increasing the content of soil organic matter and the activity of soil microflora, and helps enhance the biological processes of soil. Ondrášek and Čunderlík (2008) concluded that the effects of fertilisers, especially manure application, on microbial parameters of soil were positive. The manure application enriches the soil not only with many organic substances but also with numerous forms of microorganisms enhancing and intensifying the biological activity of soil.…”

Soils were sampled from the plots with four variants of fertilisation: Nil -without fertilisation, NPK -mineral fertilisation, FYM -farmyard manure, FYM + NPK -farmyard manure with mineral fertilisation, and two variants of crop rotation: field IV -classical 9-year crop rotation, field B -2-year rotation of alternative growing. Determination of urease, CFU of Azotobacter spp. and potential nitrogenase activity was conducted during the period 1999-2004. The urease activity was positively affected by manure fertilisation (FYM) and by the combination of FYM + NPK. The statistically significantly highest counts of Azotobacter spp. and the highest nitrogenase activity were determined on field B in variants FYM and FYM + NPK. The results show that there was a higher amount of accessible nitrogen present on field IV than on field B. This might explain the lower counts of Azotobacter spp. and therefore the lower nitrogenase activity. According to our results, activity of urease, CFU of Azotobacter spp. and potential nitrogenase activity are very closely connected with N inputs.

“…doi: 10.17221/7/2014-SWR Farmyard manure (FYM) is the main fertilizer maintaining soil potential fertility because with its application the soil receives biogenic elements that are assimilated by growing crops and thus removed from the soil (Repsiene & Skuodiene 2010). The manure application increases also soil pH (Ondrášek & Čunderlík 2008). Increasing of pH depends on the dose and timing of FYM application.…”

Vašák F., Černý J., Buráňová Š., Kulhánek M., Balík J. (2015): Soil pH changes in long-term field experiments with different fertilizing systems. Soil & Water Res., 10: 19-23.The changes of soil pH in long-term 14-year field experiments with different fertilizing systems are described. The field experiments were located at four sites of the Czech Republic with different soil and climatic conditions (Červený Újezd, Hněvčeves, Lukavec, and Prague-Suchdol). At each site, the same fertilizing systems and crop rotation (potatoes -winter wheat -spring barley) were established. Six experimental treatments were applied to crop rotation: (1) unfertilized treatments (control); treatments with organic fertilization: (2) farmyard manure (FYM), (3) sewage sludge (SS); treatments with mineral fertilizers: (4) nitrogen (N), (5) nitrogen with straw application (N + straw), and (6) nitrogen with phosphorus and potassium (NPK). The long-term effect of fertilizers significantly depends on soil conditions. At the site Prague-Suchdol minimal differences in the soil pH were observed by all treatments. This is caused by the high buffering capacity of Chernozems against the soil acidification. At Červený Újezd (Haplic Luvisol), Hněvčeves (Haplic Luvisol), and Lukavec (Stagnic Cambisol) sites, soil pH decreased by all treatments. Only at Hněvčeves site the soil pH did not change with N treatment. The highest soil pH decrease in the treatment with NPK (ΔpH -0.89) and N + straw (ΔpH -0.70) was observed at Hněvčeves site. By the treatments FYM and SS the highest decrease was registered at Červený Újezd (ΔpH of about -0.30 and -0.63, respectively). The highest decrease in control treatment (ΔpH of about -0.63) was observed at Lukavec site. The results showed that to evaluate long-term soil pH changes a whole complex of factors must be examined.
