Organic amendments increase soil phosphorus availability and yield in field-grown cabbage and Chinese cabbage

Impact of an organic fertiliser on the yield of white cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and the soil productivity

“…https://doi.org/10.17221/33/2022-HORTSCI Intensive mechanical soil cultivation, the abundant use of mineral fertilisers (especially nitrogen), pesticide use, and other factors have stimulated the mineralisation of the incoming plant residue and soil organic matter and inhibited the humification processes (Ayeni, Adetunji 2010) and have led to a lower organic matter content (Li et al 2018). Organic manure plays a direct role in plant growth as a source of all the necessary macro-and micro-nutrients in the available forms during mineralisation, improving the agrophysical, agrochemical and physiological properties of the soil (Damiyal et al 2017).…”
