“…The improvement in soil physical properties with increasing rates of PM was adduced to increase in soil organic matter as the manure rate increases. A similar effect of PM in terms of improving soil physical properties has been reported by Agbede et al (2017). The increase in porosity of biochar applied to soil could be related to the high porous nature of biochar.…”

“…Decline in soil fertility has been identified as a major biophysical root cause for the declining per capita food availability from small holder farms in the tropical Africa (Gichuru et al, 2003). In tropical soils, the use of synthetic fertiliser has not been sustainable due to its induced soil acidity, nutrient imbalance (Agbede et al, 2017) and physical degradation leading to increased soil erosion. Some experts found that the application of chemical fertilisers alone to achieve high yield has not been successful because the crop response to the applied fertiliser depended on soil organic matter (Ojeniyi, 2012).…”

A B S T R A C TStudies on the effect of biochar and poultry manure on soil properties and radish productivity is rare, hence, field experiments were conducted over two years, 2015 and 2016, to evaluate the effects of biochar (B) and poultry manure (PM) on soil properties, leaf nutrient concentrations and root yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.). Each year, the experiment consisted of 3 × 3 factorial combinations of biochar (0, 25 and 50 t ha −1 ) and poultry manure (0, 2.5 and 5.0 t ha −1 ). Application of B and PM alone, and in combination, improved soil physical and chemical properties, leaf nutrient concentrations and yield components of radish. In 2016, the application of B alone increased the soil pH and concentrations of organic matter, N, P, K, Ca and Mg, as well as leaf nutrient concentrations and yield of radish, but in 2015 it only increased soil pH and organic matter and not leaf nutrient concentrations and yield. In both years, the application of B significantly influenced the root length of the radish. In both years, there was a significant interaction effect of biochar and poultry manure (B × PM) and this was attributed to the ability of the B to increase the efficiency of the utilization of the nutrients in the PM. The combination of 50 t ha −1 B and 5 t ha −1 PM (B 50 + PM 5 ) resulted in the highest radish yield. Averaged over the two years, (B 50 + PM 5 ) increased the root weight of radish by 192, 250 and 257% compared with biochar alone at 50 t ha −1 , biochar alone at 25 t ha −1 and no application of B or PM (control). Therefore, for a short season crop like radish the expected benefit of the biochar alone without the addition of poultry manure may not be achieved within the first year. + , and NO 3 − in animal manure (Steiner Notes: Values followed by the same letters, within column, are not significantly different at p < 0.05 according to Duncan's multiple range test. * =significant at 5% level of probability; ns = not significant at 5% level of probability; B = Biochar; PM = Poultry manure.

“…The supply of organic matter by mulch can increase the soil water level by 6-7%. The storage of groundwater is greater so it will increase the productivity of the plant (Agbede et al, 2017;Chang et al, 2016;Edwards et al, 2000;Sudaryono, 2001;Wang et al, 2009). Bokashi fertilizer has also positive effects on root growth by increasing root length and root dry weight in the rhizosphere conditions.…”

The use of NPK fertilizer and bokashi composting, which is a fermented organic matter combined with microbial stock, have been reported as potential agricultural practices to enhance the farming land and crop production. The aim of this research is to understand the type of bokashi fertilizer and the correct dosage of NPK inorganic fertilizer in improving entisol soil quality and shallot yield in the dry land. The research used the split-plot design, which was divided into two factors. The first factor of the main plot was the bokashi type consisting of two levels: 3 t ha-1 of bokashi compost of Gliricidia sp. tree leaves (B1); and bokashi cow manure 3 t ha-1 (B2). The second factor as the subplot was the NPK inorganic fertilizer dose which were consisted of four levels: without fertilizers (K0), NPK 100 kg ha-1 (K1), NPK 200 kg ha-1 (K2), and NPK 300 kg ha-1 (K3). By combination of these two factors 8 combined treatments with 3 replications totally 24 units were obtained. The result of the research showed that application of 3 t ha-1 bokashi cow manure (B2) coupled with NPK inorganic fertilizer at 200 kg ha-1 (K2) caused a decrease in evaporation of its land and soil temperature, while increase shallot bulb yield compared with other treatments. The analysis of soil and soil microbes showed an increase in soil fertility by elevated levels of C-organic from 0.66 % to 3.28 %, N-fixing bacteria from 27 x 10 5 CFU ml-1 to 47 x10 6 CFU ml-1 and phosphate solubilizing bacteria from 20 x10 3 CFU ml-1 to 90 x10 3 CFU ml-1. The shallot bulb yield increased from 4.79 t ha-1 to 11.74 t ha-1 .

“…Addition of these nutrients leads to improved cation exchange capacity (CEC), anion exchange capacity (AEC), and buffering capacity hence improved availability of nutrients for crops uptake [3]. Manure is also important in the improvement of soil physical properties such as texture, structure, porosity that regulates soil temperatures, moisture content, nutrient holding capacity and porosity [4,5,6]. These properties are very important in the solubility of nutrients for uptake, root penetration and root growth.…”

Green gram (Vigna radiate l.) is an important legume grown within Kenyan Coast. Despite the crops importance as a locally available nutrient supplement, its production is constrained by declining soil fertility caused by poor agronomic practices. A field experiment was established during the March-June, 2019 long rains in multi locational sites at Matuga and Mivumoni in Kwale County. The experiment was aimed at investigating the effect of integrating farm yard manure, zinc and starter nitrogen and phosphorus on soil fertility, growth and yield of green grams. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Treatments included: Zinc, NP, Manure, Manure+ zinc, NP+ zinc and control. Green gram variety tested was KS20. Data collected included: Initial soil chemical properties, plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of pods per plant, grains per pod, weight of 100 grains, biomass and grain yield. Results showed that Zinc+ manure significantly promoted the highest plant height, number of leaves, grain yield. Plots treated with zinc+ manure recorded 32% higher plant height and 46% higher grain yield compared to NP applied plots. In conclusion, integration of manure and zinc was most effective in promoting green grams growth and yield. Since, this research was carried out on station in ferralic, chromic Luvisols; there is need for long term trials in farmers’ fields with diverse soil properties and environmental conditions.
