“…The favorable results of poultry manure on improved sweet potato yield reported in this study could be due to the mineral nutrient supply from the poultry manure (Table 2). Similar results on higher crop yields have been reported in previous studies (Adekiya and Agbede, 2017;Adeyemo et al, 2019;Hoover et al, 2019;Mpanga et al, 2021). In a similar study with tomatoes, compost with poultry manure substantially enhanced both biomass and shoot nitrogen content when compared to a control that received no fertilizer (Mpanga et al, 2018).…”

“…Many factors impact these benefits, including increased soil pH due to high cations like calcium in poultry manure, increased organic matter content, and increased microbial activities that slowly release sparingly soluble minerals in poultry manure for plant uptake. The slow release of nutrients from poultry manure allows nutrients availability to the plant throughout the life cycle than the readily available chemical fertilizers, which is prone to leaching during heavy rains (Mpanga et al, 2021).…”

“…Other advantages include lightening heavy clay soils to prevent clay particles from clumping together and increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC). Poultry nutrients are also released slowly to plants, making them more durable and less likely to be leached into the soil (Mpanga et al, 2021). It is an important organic soil amendment resource and a complete fertilizer for most commercial crop productions, such as sweet potato in Nigeria, due to the composition of both major nutrients, NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium), and trace elements.…”

Summary Poultry manure (PM) has been shown to boost crop productivity. However, little is known about its favorable interactions with wood biochar (B) on sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) growth and yield, and soil qualities. Hence, a 2-year field trial was conducted in the southwest Nigeria at two locations (Owo – site A and Obasooto – site B) to co-apply PM and wood B as soil amendments to boost sweet potato productivity and soil quality. The experiment consisted of a 3 × 4 factorial layout with three replications. PM and B significantly reduced soil bulk density and improved porosity and moisture content with their rate of application when compared to the control. As PM and B applications increased from 0 to 10.0 t ha−1 and 0 to 30.0 t ha−1, respectively, soil chemical properties and sweet potato growth and tuber yield increased. Co-application of 10.0 t ha−1 PM and 30.0 t ha−1 B increased tuber yield by 220% compared to treatments without PM or B. Significant synergistic interactions between PM and B were observed for all parameters. In comparison with other treatments, co-applying PM and B to sweet potato soils is a viable sustainable option for increasing sweet potato productivity and soil sustainability.

“…Soil for the greenhouse study (Table S1a) was sampled at a depth of 0–15 cm from the University of Arizona Experiment Station at Cornville, Arizona pasture field 2 weeks after annual manure application. The field had annual poultry manure applications as the standard FP at 2239.5 kg ha –1 year −1 , which was split‐applied (1:1) in March and September (Table S1a; Mpanga et al., 2021). The soil was air‐dried in the greenhouse and passed through a 2‐mm sieve to remove stones and large plant materials and mixed uniformly.…”

Background: Grape pomace (GP) is a by-product of wineries after filtering the grape juice for wine production. GP contains seeds, pulp, skin, and stalks with acidic properties, and it is normally composted before using as a soil amendment. However, composting GP requires more time, labor, and equipment; furthermore, composting loses some of the desirable organic acids for arid soils. The acidic properties of these organic acids and the plant nutrients in GP make it a desirable amendment for arid soils in both non-composted and composted forms.Aim: This study investigates the potential of directly applying GP as a soil amendment and its impact on arid soil health and plant performance.Methods: To test the potential of non-composted GP as a soil amendment, greenhouse and field studies were conducted by combining GP with existing management practices (manure application for soil used in the greenhouse study and fertigation for the field study) to assess the effects of GP on soil health and crop (maize, wheat, and grape) performance.Results: Adding 5% GP to an alkaline soil significantly increased maize and wheat growth and shoot nutrient concentrations in the greenhouse and grapes in the field (48% yield increase). The significance of GP on maize, wheat, and grapes was associated with soil nutrient enhancements (i.e., nutrients supplied, increase in organic matter and microbial biomass increase, reduction in pH, and better nutrient mobilization).Conclusion: GP has the potential for direct use as a soil amendment for soil and crop health improvement, especially in arid soils with high pH and limited soil organic matter.

“…Studies have been carried out recently to overcome the sandy land problems mentioned above. The researchers [9][10][11] concluded that inputting organic matter into sandy soils would improve soil quality, ultimately improving the growth performance and productivity of the evaluated plants. Furthermore, to overcome the low nutrient retention in sandy soil, [12,13] concluded that input of organic material in the form of slow release in biochar is beneficial if applied to sandy soil.…”

Food security is an important issue and must be pursued by utilizing all potential resources. Sandy land is a potential resource to be developed as agricultural land due to the decline in fertile land. However, sandy land has a limiting factor for plant growth and yield, namely fertility. This research aimed to determine the effect of cow manure and NPK fertilizer on the growth and yield of three soybean varieties on sandy land. The research was conducted from January to May 2022 on sandy land in Bengkulu. Each experimental plot was arranged based on a randomized block design. The first factor was soybean cultivar, and the second was a combination of cow manure and NPK fertilizer doses. Each treatment was repeated three times. The results showed that the three soybean varieties evaluated showed different characteristics due to genetic diversity. Applying a combination of organic fertilizers in all proportions did not significantly affect the growth and yield of soybeans except for the weight of 100 seeds. NPK fertilizer application showed better growth and yields.
