“…(i) the no effect Table 1 statistics, this change would result not significant. In this 225 work, no measurements were made on leaves or crop uptake of nutrients since in the previous tomato 8 cultivation study, performed on the same soil with the same soluble substances applied at higher doses, no 227 significant differences were found either in the soil physico-chemical features and in the leaves and crop 228 uptake of nutrients due to the treatment relatively to the control experiment (Sortino et al, 2012).…”

“…In Sortino et al (2012) experiment, bio-organic fertilizer from municipal wastes (kitchen wastes, home gardening residues and public park trimmings) with alkali demonstrated the best results in leaf chlorophyll content, plant growth and tomato fruit ripening rate and yield. In our experiment, application of the bio-organic fertilizer solutions also intensified photosynthesis in sugar beets.…”

Applications of biological agents intensify the growth of crops, so they more quickly form a maximum leaf area, optimize photosynthesis, increase plant productivity and quality. Chemical producers offer a new generation of bio-organic fertilizers based on nano technologies. Such fertilizers have not been well investigated yet; therefore, the aim of this study was to ascertain the influence of the fertilization rates by bio-organic nano fertilizer, made from cattle manure on the effectiveness of sugar beet crop photosynthesis and productivity parameters. The investigations were carried out in 2011-2012 at Aleksandras Stulginskis University's Research Station, Kaunas district, Lithuania (54º52′ N, 23º49′ E) on a silty loam Luvisol (Calcari-Epihypogleyic Luvisol, LVg-p-w-cc). Sugar beet plants were sprayed with the fertilizer at doses of 0.5 or 1.0 L ha -1 at the BBCH 18 and/or BBCH 31 stages. Single application of the bio-organic fertilizer at single 1 L ha -1 dose was more effective than at single 0.5 L ha -1 or double 0.5 + 0.5 L ha -1 doses. At the beginning of intensive sugar beet development (BBCH 37-38), single 1 L hadose increased the number of leaves by 19.6%, leaf area by 13.4%, root diameter by 11.1%, canopy dry biomass by 29.1%, root biomass by 42.6%, net photosynthetic productivity by 15.8%, root yield by 12.6%, sucrose content by 1.03 percentage points and yield of white sugar by 19.2% in comparison with the untreated beets. Double 1 + 1 L ha -1 dose of fertilizer was slightly more effective but economically less suitable than single (1 L ha -1 ). In general, the application of bio-organic fertilizer revealed a great potential for optimization of sugar beet development, productivity and quality parameters.

“…Pruning, weeding by hand pulling and other horticultural operations were done when required [23,77]. as second dose was applied at the eighth week after transplantation [74,77,78]. The annual fertilizer application rates were 68.31 kg·N·ha (DAP + potash) [23].…”

Organic Cultivation of Tomato in India with Recycled Slaughterhouse Wastes: Evaluation of Fertilizer and Fruit Safety

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Environmental and health safety of recycled slaughterhouse wastes-derived fertilizer and the produce obtained through its application is not well understood. Waste bovine blood and rumen digesta were mixed, cooked and sun-dried to obtain bovine-blood-and-rumen-digesta-mixture (BBRDM, NPK 30.36:1:5.75). 1.26 ± 0.18 log CFU mL −1 fecal coliforms were recovered in BBRDM. E. coli O157:H7, Mycobacteria, Clostridium sp., Salmonella sp., Bacillus sp. and Brucella sp. were absent. No re-growth of pathogens was observed after 60 days storage in sealed bags and in the open. However, prions and viruses were not evaluated. Heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn, As, Ni, Mn) concentrations in BBRDM were within internationally permissible limits. BBRDM was applied for field cultivation of tomato during 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. Lycopene and nitrate contents of BBRDM-grown tomatoes were higher than Diammonium OPEN ACCESSAgriculture 2015, 5 827 phosphate (DAP) + potash-grown tomatoes because BBRDM supplied 2.5 times more the amount of nitrogen than DAP (NPK 18:46:0) + potash (NPK 0:0:44). Heavy metals and nitrate/nitrite concentrations in tomatoes were within internationally acceptable limits. BBRDM-grown tomatoes showed no mutagenic activity in the Ames test. Sub-acute toxicity tests on Wistar rats fed with BBRDM-grown tomatoes did not show adverse clinical picture. Thus, no immediate environmental or health risks associated with BBRDM and the tomatoes produced were identified.
