“…However, they are important agricultural soils in northwestern China, because as much as 52,528 square kilometers of grey desert soils are cultivated agricultural land across China and more than a quarter is in Xinjiang [16]. Long-term fertilization can inevitably cause changes in the soil fertility and productivity while maintaining and improving crop yields [17][18][19]. Soil fauna has been shown to be sensitive for sustainable processes in agriculture [20].…”

Abstract:The relationship between soil fauna and different fertilizer management practices is of growing concern. The aim of this research was to investigate the response of soil fauna to fertilization regimes, to explore the relationships among the community of soil animals, soil moisture and crop yields. The application of organic fertilizers (i.e., sheep manure or crop residues) increased crop yields and promoted the number of individuals and species of soil fauna owing to the exogenous organic matter that fertilizers provided for the survival and development of soil fauna. Furthermore, the treatments that applied sheep manure (i.e., sheep manure only or nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sheep manure plus) were significantly beneficial for increasing crop yields and diversity of soil fauna compared to treatments with crop residues returned (i.e., crop residues returned only or nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and crop residues returned to the field) (p < 0.05) due to the response of soil fauna to diverse exogenous nutrients and the effect of soil fertility. Therefore, the finding that soil fauna abundance is significantly positively correlated with soil moisture and crop yield may mean the effects of fertilizer applications on soil animals were partly masked by the soil moisture and crop yield.

“…A FL apresenta características semelhantes às do material orgânico que lhe deu origem, enquanto a FP apresenta maior grau de transformação, sendo parte de origem microbiana (Poirier et al, 2005). Apesar de a maior proporção do C orgânico total (COT) do solo estar associada à FP (Roscoe & Buurman, 2003;Lima, 2004;Mando, et al, 2005;Poirier et al, 2005), esta fração apresenta mudanças mais lentas e graduais, fazendo com que a FL seja considerada como indicador mais sensível à mudança na qualidade e uso do solo (Garten Jr. et al, 1999;Freixo et al, 2002a,b;Wu et al, 2004).…”

“…Comparable yield trend was also observed in ranges of field crops including wheat. Mando et al (2005) demonstrated that greater grain and straw yields of TRT = treatment; V1= 0 t/ha FYM; V2 = 5 t/ha FYM; V3 = 2.5 t/ha FSB and V4 = 5 t/ha FYM +2.5 t/ha FSB; R1= Wheat US lupine; R2= lupine; LB = lupine biomass; N = nitrogen; P = Phosphorus and K = potassium. TRT = treatment; V1= 0 t/ha FYM; V2 = 5 t/ha FYM; V3 = 2.5 t/ha FSB and V4 = 5 t/ha FYM +2.5 t/ha FSB; R3 = wheat-clover-potato; R4 = clover-wheat under sown lupine-potato; LB = lupine biomass; CB = clover biomass; FYM = farmyard manure; N = nitrogen; P = Phosphorus; K = potassium…”

Lack of sustainable soil fertility management system is a critical challenge in the highlands of Awi Zone. Important physicochemical properties of the soil are below the critical level to support crop growth. Hence, a study was undertaken with the aim of improving the yield of potato through organic treatments and sound crop rotation system. Two rotation systems and four levels of organic treatments were factorially arranged and laid out in RCBD with four replications. The organic treatments were: V1 = 0 t/ha farmyards manure (FYM); V2 = 2.5 t/h fresh sesbania green manure (FSB) V3 = 5 t/ha FYM; and V4 = 5 t/ha FYM +2.5 t/ha FSB applied in fixed plots for three years. Indeed, the rotation systems varied from year to year to estimate the changes in potato tuber yields due to the differences in crop rotation systems. Tuber yields of potato showed increasing trend over the period of the three years with the lowest in the first year, intermediate in the second year and the highest in the third year across all treatments. Among all, the highest total potato tuber yield (35.15 t/ha) was obtained at the combined application of 5 t/ha FYM +2.5 t/ha FSB and clover-wheat-potato rotation system in the third year. The treatment combination increased total potato tuber yield by 140% and 41% over that of the first and the second years and would be recommended as ecologically sound option in improving the productivity of potato.
