“…Overfertilisation with P constitutes an environmental risk regarding surface run-off of eroding particulate P and eutrophication of nearby waterways (Sharpley et al 1994). Jeng and Vagstad (2009) found significantly larger amounts of orthophosphates in leaching water after application of 180 kg N ha −1 MBM than after application of mineral fertiliser at the same rate. To avoid environmental risks and unsustainable use of resources, both the N: K ratio and the N:P ratio have to be balanced when alternative compound fertilisers are being developed for cereal production, while the plant availability of the P in WBPs also has to be considered.…”

There is increasing awareness of the need for efficient nutrient recycling in food production. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted to contribute to the development of alternative compound fertilisers with balanced nutrient ratios for cereal production. We compared the (1) fertilisation effects and (2) effects on soil chemistry of four organic nitrogen (N)-and phosphorous (P)-rich waste-based products (WBPs), applied with or without potassium (K)-rich bottom wood ash (BWA). WBPs and BWA were applied at two rates (80 kg N ha 1 + 35 kg K ha −1 and 160 kg N ha −1 + 70 kg K ha −1 ) to spring barley (Hordeum vulgare) in year one and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) in year two, and the effects were compared with those of commercial mineral and organic compound fertilisers. The K fertilisation effects of BWA were masked by the soil's ability to provide plantavailable K during both years of the experiment. Plant-available N was, therefore, the growth-limiting factor for barley in year one, when there were no differences in grain yield between treatments with and without K-rich BWA. The mineral fertiliser equivalent of WBPs was 64-118% for N uptake in barley grain, but can be expected to be lower under field conditions. During year two, wheat yield was determined by the plant availability of P and N. Meat-rich meat and bone meal caused P deficiency at the lower application rate as a result of alkaline soil conditions, whereas the P in BWA appeared to be almost as plant-available as soluble mineral P.

“…Several years' field experiments carried out by Stępień and Wojtkowiak (2015), and Nogalska (2013) point to a low risk of nitrate contamination due to the soil application of MBM. A lysimetric experiment conducted by Jeng and Vagstad (2009) revealed that the amounts of nitrates leached from soil fertilized with MBM were half the quantities leached from soil treated with mineral fertilizers, but the cited authors do not recommend the application of MBM in early spring or late fall since nitrates contained in MBM are easily leached out. Significant differences in barley grain yield were noted between the years of the study.…”

The aim of this study was to determine whether meat and bone meal (MBM) can be used as NP fertilizer for spring barley grown for fodder. A two-factorial field experiment was conducted in Poland. Experimental factor I was MBM dose (0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 t/ha/year) which was compared to the mineral fertilization (NPK), factor II was the year of the study (two consecutive years). MBM used in doses higher than 1.0 t/ha had a more beneficial influence on the grain yield of spring barley and grain plumpness than mineral fertilizers. The positive yield-forming effect of MBM doses 2.0 t/ha and 2.5 t/ha was statistically significant. The nitrogen (N) content of grain was similar in treatments with MBM and mineral fertilization. The two highest MBM doses contributed to a significant decrease in the phosphorus (P) content of grain, particularly in the second year of the study, in comparison with the remaining MBM doses and mineral fertilizers. Grain yield and N content were also affected by the year of the study, due to weather conditions and the residual effect of MBM. The optimal MBM dose was 1.5 t/ha, which allowed to produce 5.1 t/ha of the plumpest grain whose N and P content was consistent with the feeding standards for livestock.

“…Because less solid or liquid manure is produced and mineral fertilizers are increasingly more expensive, using animal meals as substances rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter could help to maintain soils' fertility and fecundity (SPYCHAJ--FABISIAK et al 2007). Meat and bone meals contain nitrogen in the form of protein compounds, so that through mineralization processes the element is slowly released to soil and typically becomes plant available already in the first year of its application (CHAVES et al 2005, JENG et al 2004, 2006, JENG, VAGSTAD 2009, NOGALSKA et al 2012. The dynamics of this process depends on several habitat-related factors and may vary between years and seasons of the year.…”

Animal meat and bone meals need to be used for crop production since they have been eliminated from feeds in animal nutrition following the breakout of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) in cattle. The Decision of the Council of the European Union of 4 December 2000 prohibited adding processed animal protein to feeds for cattle, pigs Key word s: total and mineral nitrogen, soil, meat and bone meal (MBM), N uptake. ZMIANY ZAWARTOOECI AZOTU W GLEBIE JAKO EFEKT BEZPOOEREDNIEGO I NASTÊPCZEGO DZIA£ANIA M¥CZKI MIÊSNO-KOSTNEJ Abstrakt Koniecznooeae rolniczego zagospodarowania m¹czek zwierzêcych wynika z eliminacji ich jako komponentów paszowych w ¿ywieniu zwierz¹t z powodu wykrycia choroby BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) u byd³a. Decyzj¹ Rady UE od 4 grudnia 2000 roku obo-wi¹zuje zakaz stosowania przetworzonego bia³ka zwierzêcego do pasz dla byd³a, trzody chlewnej i drobiu. W Polsce zakaz ten wprowadzono decyzj¹ rz¹dow¹ 1 listopada 2003 roku. M¹czka miêsno-kostna mo¿e byae alternatyw¹ dla mineralnych nawozów azotowo-fosforowych, poniewa¿ jest bogata w azot i fosfor, a ponadto zawiera wapñ, mikroelementy oraz substancjê organiczn¹. Celem pracy by³a ocena dzia³ania bezpooeredniego i nastêpczego m¹czki miêsno-kostnej (MMK) stosowanej w ró¿nych dawkach na zawartooeae azotu ogólnego i jego mineralnych form w glebie, bêd¹cych wskaŸnikami potencjalnego zagro¿enia ska-¿eniem oerodowiska, oraz na pobranie azotu przez rooeliny. Badania polowe przeprowadzono w latach 2006-2010 w Ooerodku Dydaktyczno-Dooewiadczalnym w Ba³dach, nale¿¹cym do Uniwersytetu Warmiñsko-Mazurskiego w Olsztynie, na glebie brunatnej w³aoeciwej. Czynnikiem I rzêdu by³a dawka MMK (1,0; 1,5; 2,0 i 2,5 t ha-1 rok-1 oraz 2,0; 3,0; 4,0 i 5,0 t ha-1 co dwa lata), II rzêdu-rok dooewiadczenia (4 lata). Z czteroletnich badañ wynika, ¿e zmiany w zawartooeciach mineralnych form azotu w glebie zale¿a³y od dawki MMK, gatunku uprawianej rooeliny i warunków pogodowych. MMK wprowadzana do gleby w du¿ych dawkach, niezale¿nie od czêstotliwooeci stosowania, wp³ynê³a na istotne zwiêkszenie jej zasobnooeci w azot ogólny i mineralny, w odniesieniu do nawo¿enia mineralnego. Zawartooeae N-NO 3 w glebie zwiêkszy³a siê istotnie w wyniku nastêpczego dzia³ania du¿ych dawek m¹czki (4,0 i 5,0 t ha-1) oraz po corocznym zastosowaniu 2,5 t MMK ha-1. Wszystkie oznaczone zawartooeci N-NO 3 w glebie mieoeci³y siê w przedziale bardzo niskiej zawartooeci. Naj-mniejsz¹ zawartooeae N min. oznaczono w glebie po pszenicy ozimej w trzecim roku badañ, charakteryzuj¹cym siê nierównomiernym rozk³adem opadów, a N-NO 3 w pierwszym roku po pszen¿ycie ozimym. Rooeliny pobra³y wiêcej azotu z gleby wzbogacanej MMK (oprócz najmniejszej dawki) ni¿ nawo¿onej mineralnie. S ³ o w a k l u c z o w e : azot ogólny i mineralny, gleba, m¹czka miêsno-kostna (MMK), pobranie N.
