“…The effect is related to the high internal porosity, high surface charge density, large surface area, and multiple functional groups, which aid the P adsorption [212,213]. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs showed that the ash derived from pineapple residues also has porous structures [214]. The highly porous structure of charcoal and wood ash indirectly enhances P availability because they can capture and hold P-rich water, thus preventing them from leaching out.…”

Phosphorus (P) is a vital soil macronutrient required by plants for optimum growth and development. However, its availability is limited because of fixation. The phosphorus fixation reaction is pH dependent. In acid soils, the predominance of aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) oxides in both crystalline and amorphous forms reduces the solubility of soil inorganic P through fixation on positively charged surfaces and formation of insoluble Al and Fe precipitates. In alkaline soils, P readily reacts with calcium (Ca) to form sparingly soluble calcium phosphates. As a result, a large proportion of applied P may become chemically bound, whereas only a small fraction of soil P remains in the soil solution and available for plant uptake. To date, there is little information available on the use of charcoal with a highly negative charge and wood ash with high alkalinity to minimise P fixation in acid soils. Thus, this study examined the potential of the combined use of charcoal and wood ash to unlock P fixation in acid soils. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify effective approaches to improve P availability through the use of different types of soil amendments, regardless of whether P is organically or inorganically present. For example, to mitigate P fixation in acid soils, amendments such as compost and zeolite are used to reduce P sorption sites. These amendments have also been used to increase P uptake and crop productivity in P deficient acid soils by reducing soil acidity and the toxicity of Al and Fe. It is believed that long-term application of charcoal and sago bark ash can positively change the physical and chemical properties of soils. These improvements do not only reduce P fixation in acid soils, but they also promote an effective utilisation of nutrients through timely release of nutrients for maximum crop production.

“…Those organic residues with high ratios of C/N immobilized the mineral nitrogen resulting in suppressed levels of nitrogen in the amended soil. Besides, Choo et al (2020) described that lower rates of organic waste (pineapple residue ash) increased the nitrogen uptake by tested plant (Ananas comosus L. Merr.).…”

The present study was aimed at determining the influence of adding different amounts of spent coffee grounds (SCG) on germination percentage (GP) and mean germination time (MGT), seedling characteristics, and seedling biomass of different components of containerized 1 + 0 stone pine seedlings. Six different media were prepared including 100% conventional media, 100% sand, 10% SCG + 90% sand, 20% SCG + 80% sand, 30% SCG + 70%, sand and 100% SCG. While GP is 90% in the media where the SCG ratio is 10%, GP values decrease to 50% as the SCG ratio increases. The greatest seedling height values were found in conventional media (14.4 cm), followed by the seedlings in 100% sand with 11.4 cm and 20% SCG + 80% sand with 11.1 cm. The highest root collar diameter was found in 20% SCG + 80% sand with 3.9 mm. The highest root/shoot ratio (0.7) was obtained in 10% SCG + 90% sand. Total seedling biomass was the greatest in conventional media (2.1 g). As SCG increased in the media, N, K, Mg, and P concentrations increased, and Ca concentration and C/N ratio decreased in all seedling components (needle, main root, lateral root, and stem). Results point to the possibility of using a small amount of SCG to alter seed germination, seedling characteristics, and nutrient uptake for production of containerized stone pine seedlings.

“…Furthermore, the use of crop residues in soil is a common practice in agriculture. This is believed to be beneficial to soil carbon sequestration while improving physico-chemical properties of the soil and crop yield 143,144 . However, crop residues are known to be one of the major sources of N 2 O emissions in agricultural ecosystems.…”

The use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture produces significant quantities of nitrogenous gases including ammonia, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide. Through better farmland management practices, the emission of nitrogenous gases can be reduced while realizing clean water environment and climate-smart agriculture. In this article, we first provided an overview of the international movements on reducing nitrogenous gas emissions from farmlands. Then, we summarized the effect of agricultural management practices on nitrogen use efficiency for various crops, and evaluated their effect on nitrogenous gas emissions. The results indicated the importance of implementing site-specific sustainable management practices to enhance nitrogen use efficiency, and thus mitigate nitrogenous gas emissions. We also addressed the impact of agricultural activities on cropland nitrogen cycles, and highlighted the need to perform systematic trade-off evaluations with a well-defined scope to maximize environmental benefits and maintain ecosystem services. Lastly, we proposed three priority directions by moving toward a low-emission agriculture.
