“…Organic fertilization enhanced soil organic matter (SOM) content, biological activity in biosphere, and soil's physical properties [49][50][51][52][53][54]. Recently, Samara et al, [55], considered the manure application as organic additive that enhanced K by 32-81%. However, P, was excessively increased by two to three folds higher than the inorganic fertilization (30-44 mg kg −1 ).…”

Under field conditions, wheat response to organic amendments and B. megatherium inoculation as well as different rates of natural rock P fertilizer (NRP) was traced. Animal manure, peanut straw and quail feces were added in combination with P0, P50 and P100 kg ha -1 levels and both factors were tested with or without bacterial inoculation. The grain yield of wheat was higher with 192 kg ha -1 than rate 96 kg ha -1 while both of them surpassed the un-fertilized control. Inoculated plants, under all NRP levels, resulted in a higher grain yield than the un-inoculated ones. In inoculated plants, grain yield was significantly higher with quail feces additives than animal manure and peanut residues. B. megatherium induced slight increases in N uptake as compared to the un-inoculated plants. However, peanut residues resulted in N uptake values slightly higher than either quail feces or animal manure. Increasing rock-P levels increased N uptake over the unfertilized or those received 96 kg ha -1 treatments. Supply with quail feces had increased P uptake over those resulted from peanut residues and animal manure. Quail feces resulted in a relative increase of P uptake by about 5% and 15%; 16% and 19%; 17% and 4% over peanut and animal manure for P0, P50 and P100, respectively. Inoculation with B. megatherium had, to some extent, enhanced K uptake by grains comparable to the un-inoculated one when plants treated with peanut residues. Nitrogen portion derived from (Ndforg) peanut straw and quail feces to inoculated plants was relatively increased, on mean average basis, by about 19% and 16%, respectively over the un-inoculated plants. Efficient use of N derived from peanut straw, quail feces (Org-NUE %) and urea-NUE% by inoculated plants slightly increased under all rock-P levels over those of the un-inoculated plants.

Weed flora composition in a young olive orchard as affected by fertilizer types

Manure is a useful source of nutrients in olive orchards, but its effect on weed growth in such an ecosystem has not been studied. A field experiment was conducted in a six-year old olive orchard (cv. Chondrelia Chalkidikis) in northern Greece to study the effects of two forms of fertilization (inorganic fertilizer and composted cow manure) on weeds abundance and weed flora composition (species diversity and dominance). A randomized complete block design with three treatments (inorganic fertilizer, 150 kg N ha−1 plus 205 kg P2O5 ha−1 plus 205 kg K2O; composted cow manure, 20 Mg dry weight ha−1; and control) replicated three times was used. Inorganic fertilizer and composted cow manure had no significant effect on the number of weed species (F = 0.288, P > 0.05), but improved olive fruit yield by 61.6% and 57.1%, respectively, compared with the non-fertilized control. Both inorganic fertilizer and composted cow manure increased the weeds dry biomass by 133.4% and 80.8%, respectively, compared with the non-fertilized control. There was a decrease in the biomass proportion (percentage of the total weed biomass) of annual species with composted cow manure (x2 = 6.72, P < 0.05), while no significant change in the biomass ratio of grasses and broadleaf weeds was observed. Fertilization increased the growth of Chenopodium album, mainly with the addition of inorganic fertilization; and Sonchus oleraceus, slightly more with the addition of composted cow manure. Centaurea solstitialis and Daucus carota had a high proportion only in the non-fertilized control plots. Composted cow manure can be used as an alternative fertilizer in olive orchards, without enriching weed flora in terms of species number. Long-term experiments would be useful to confirm the influence of composted cow manure on weed flora of olive orchards.
