“…A distinctly higher increase in the value of SOC was observed in case of oil cake addition to soil at the rate of 40 g kg 71 . The results of this study comply with reports by Schulz et al (2003) who observed a significant rise in SOC content in soils amended with rice mill waste in comparison with the control. The SOC content of the soil was also found to increase remarkably by the application of FYM and paper factory sludge, with or without fly ash, in a study by Mitra et al (2005) in a rice-peanut cropping sequence.…”

“…Such enhancement in mineral N content by the application of organic amendments has been reported in several studies (e.g. Laos et al 2000;Schulz et al 2003;Randhawa et al 2005;Abbasi et al 2007). The highest value for mineral N was recorded in soils treated with oil cake and poultry manure.…”

Maintenance of tropical soil quality for crop production without damaging the environment is a challenge and thus the development of an efficient nutrientmanagement technique is important. Soil amendment by organic manures has been widely accepted as an efficient nutrient-management technique in tropical agriculture. In this study, a long-term laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of organic manures of different sources (e.g. cattle manure, poultry manure, vermicompost and oil cakes) on changes in pH, electrical conductivity, organic C and nutrient content (mineral N, available phosphorous and potassium) in tropical alluvial soil. Applications of organic amendments in this study indicated considerable changes in the basic soil physicochemical properties and different nutrient levels. Soil pH declined slightly, whereas organic C and all the other nutrients increased distinctly, due to the application of organic manures. Thus, the magnitude of changes in the soil properties was dependent on the nature of the organic manure.

“…Sorption was dependent on contact time, concentration, temperature, adsorbent doses and pH of the solution. Schulz et al (2003) conducted an on-farm experiment to evaluate the fertilizer value of rice mill waste on a degraded Alfisol. The decomposition and nutrient (N and P) release patterns were studied using the litterbag technique, and the effect on maize yield and soil properties was determined.…”

Beverages and FermentationA good deal of research in 2003 focused on optimization of existing wastewater treatment processes for winery, brewery, and distillery wastewater. Malandra et al. (2003) examined the microbiology of biofilms present on rotating biological contactor (RBC) discs treating winery wastewater. It was determined that the microbiological populations, consisting of several bacterial and yeast species, shifted over the duration of the evaluation period and that one particular yeast species was able to achieve high levels of COD reduction in synthetic wastewater. Garcia-Morales et al. (2003) studied the activity of biofilm in a thermophilic anaerobic fluidized bed reactor treating wine distillery wastewater. As a result of these studies, the authors were able to develop activity tests that could be used to determine, among other things, maximum methanogenic activities for various biomass carriers. Tests were also used to evaluate physical phenomena and parameters affecting treatment.Javier Benitez et al. (2003) studied the kinetics of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal from wine distillery wastewater using both ozonation and aerobic biodegradation. Kinetic parameters were presented for both technologies for both continuous and discontinuous processes.Three different upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors were 1590 compared for removal of COD from winery wastewater. One was seeded with granular sludge enriched with Enterobacter sakazakii, the second with brewery granules, and the third with conventional sludge. The first reactor achieved the highest COD removal, followed by the second and third, and it was also noted that the third reactor encountered difficulties which required frequent re-seeding. (Keyser et al., 2003) Hydrogen production from rice winery wastewater using a continuous stirred tank reactor was the research focus of Yu et al. (2003a) Kinetic constants were calculated, and reaction products such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, alcohol, and organic acids were measured at various hydraulic retention times (HRTs) and substrate concentrations. Grismer et al. (2003) were concerned with obtaining actual full-scale performance data on constructed wetlands used for winery wastewater treatment. Studies were conducted on two different full-scale installations, and decay model coefficients and COD and tannin removal efficiencies were evaluated. Of particular importance was the fact that evaluations were conducted both during the crush season as well as during the racking and bottling season.Anaerobic treatability and beneficial reuse of wastewater from a wine distillery were the focus of research by Jeison, et al. (2003). These researchers investigated the anaerobic treatability of wastewater from a plant producing pisco, a distilled drink prepared from Muscatel wine. Lab-scale and full-scale experiments showed that the wastewater was treatable by anaerobic treatment, 1591 and that the nutrient content of the treated water made it suitable for irrigation of eucalyptus, with the added be...

“…On the other hand, rice-husk dust (huskdust) is generated in large quantities daily, but mostly has low agronomic utility, often times to the detriment of the environment. It is a valuable organic input owing to its small size which allows excellent soil-litter contact as well as its low polyphenol content (Schulz et al 2003). Besides being of high nutrient content and moisture retention capacity, rice-husk dust is a good aerator (Baiyeri and Mbah 2006).…”

Purpose In soil-based nursery media, topsoil, poultry droppings and sawdust conventionally provide anchorage, nutrients and aeration, respectively. Considering poultry droppings' scarcity and sawdust's inertness nutrient-wise, more readily available organic wastes should be explored as substitutes. Here, we evaluated the effect of such substitution on media fertility, aimed at seeking alternatives to the conventional practice. Methods In a topsoil-manure-aerator volume ratio of 3:2:1, poultry droppings was substituted with pig slurry (slurry) or cattle dung (dung) as manure and sawdust with rice-husk dust (huskdust) as aerator, giving seven soil-based media including reference medium (topsoil+droppings+sawdust) and the control (topsoil+topsoil+topsoil). They were watered regularly and analysed for fertility parameters 4 months later. Results Reference had the highest pH (8.60) and topsoil + dung + huskdust/control the lowest (6.83). Substituting sawdust with huskdust enhanced pH, organic matter and Mg 2+ in droppings/dung-amended media (topsoil+droppings+huskdust/ topsoil+dung+huskdust) unlike slurry-amended ones where it too reduced total nitrogen (0.19 vs 0.11%). The substitution also enhanced available phosphorus in topsoil+droppings+huskdust (117.50 mg kg −1) and topsoil+dung+huskdust (71.50 mg kg −1) but reduced K + in the latter where it too had moderating effects on Na +. Reference surpassed topsoil+slurry+huskdust for Ca 2+ , but was surpassed by topsoil+droppings+huskdust for Mg 2+. Reference/topsoil+droppings+huskdust and topsoil+slurry+huskdust/control showed highest and lowest CEC, respectively. Excluding pH, topsoil+dung+huskdust and topsoil+slurry+sawdust were, notably, consistently similar. Overall, droppings-amended > dung-amended > slurry-amended media and, for available phosphorus only, sawdust-aerated < huskdust-aerated media. Conclusion Based on fertility status 4 months after blending, topsoil+droppings+huskdust could serve as alternative to the conventional nursery medium, or topsoil+dung+huskdust where near-neutral pH is preferred to increased phosphorus/ cations release.
