“…The addition of compost alone or integrated with mineral fertilizer decreased soil bulk density hence improving total porosity, water infiltration and aeration of the soil. Widowati et al (2020) reported that application of organic amendments such as compost, manures and biochar increased soil organic matter, porosity and available water content, thereby reduced soil bulk density. Similarly, the result was in line with Mengistu et al (2017) who reported that the lowest soil bulk density (1.24 g cm À3 ) was obtained from plots received vermi-compost combined with mineral fertilizer while the highest (1.28 g cm À3 ) was recorded from the control plots.…”

Soil fertility depletion is emerging as a serious challenge causing low crop yields and food insecurity in Ethiopia. An on-farm experiment was conducted in 2017/2018 cropping season to investigate the effects of combined application of compost and mineral fertilizer on selected soil properties and maize yield in North-western Ethiopia. Treatments were factorial combinations of three rates of Urea/NPSB (0/0, 50/50 and 100/100 kg ha −1 ) and three rates of compost (0, 5 and 10 t ha −1 ). The field experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Results showed that combined application of compost and mineral fertilizer significantly (p < 0.05) increased soil pH, organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (AP), available sulphur (AS) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to sole mineral fertilizer application and the control. On the other hand, there was significant (p < 0.01) decrease in soil bulk density. Plots amended with 10 t ha −1 compost and 100/100 kg ha −1 Urea/NPSB provided the highest maize dry biomass (18.62 t ha −1 ) and grain yield (6.07 t ha −1 ). Conversely, the lowest biomass (5.70 t ha −1 ) and grain (1.17 t ha −1 ) yields were obtained from the control. The partial budget analysis also showed that the highest net benefit (32700 Birr ha −1 ) was obtained from combined addition of organic and mineral fertilizer which was significantly higher than applying the highest rate of sole mineral fertilizer (27438 Birr ha −1 ), highest rate of sole compost (9011.3 Birr ha −1 ) and the control (7660 Birr ha −1 ). Therefore, we concluded that integrated fertilizer management improves soil properties and crop yield in the highlands of north-western Ethiopia.

The ciplukan plant is a herbal medicinal plant for improving digestion, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, asthma, whooping cough, bronchitis, orchitis, ulcers, ulcers, cancer, tumours, leukaemia, and diabetes. Optimal cultivation of ciplukan plants is needed to see the benefits obtained for health. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using chicken manure and Organic Liquid Fertilizer (OLF) to cultivate ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) plants. This study is a completely randomized factorial experimental study (CRD) with two factors and three replications. The treatment factor consisted of two factors: the use of chicken manure and OLF with three replications. Parameters in the study included plant height, number of leaves, wet bottom stover, the weight of dry bottom stover, number of fruits, and fruit weight. ANOVA analysis was carried out to determine the effect of chicken manure and OLF and continued with the 5% DMRT test on significantly different results. The results showed that chicken manure and OLF had a very significant effect on all observation parameters. The best growth in the A 2 C 2 treatment was plant height 74.67 cm. The best crop yields were in the A 2 C 2 treatment with an average number of 37 fruits and average fruit weight of 780 grams per plant.

“…horizon formed yet, tend to be acidic, and has low soil organic material content and thus low soil fertility [26,27]. However, several studies have reported a successful attempt to increase the soil fertility of this type of soil by adding biochar [28,29]. Biochar or a lightweight charcoal-like substance made by burning biomass waste helps to increases the soil pH and act as a potential source of macro and micronutrients needed by plants [30,31].…”

The increase of unsustainable human activities in watershed areas gave a huge pressure, causing land degradation and reduced the river water quality. This study aimed to describe the land use management and calculate the carrying capacity as a part of natural resource management of Bangsri Micro Watershed, the upper Brantas watershed in East Java, Indonesia. Data was gathered from five villages through interviews, questionnaires, and focus group discussions with multiple stakeholders. In addition, data from the local government statistics bureau (i.e., Statistics Indonesia) was also used. From the total 2,765 ha land area, eight different land use were identified with agroforestry (970 ha) being the largest and bare land (43 ha) being the smallest. There were 17 crop patterns with 10 different commodities recorded. Based on the present land use, the total land monetary value (biocapacity) was 298 billion Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) or equal to 27,278 tonnes of rice production. From the total population of 27,645; the total annual income (i.e., ecological footprint based on the minimum wage and real household income) needed is 577-854 billion IDR (72,101-106,771 tonnes of rice), thus considered as a deficit carrying capacity value. An urgent watershed management planning is needed to reduce the environmental pressure while ensuring the fulfilment needs of the people in Bangsri Micro Watershed.
