“…Increasing N or P content in soil could accelerate the decomposition of the organic matter in soil and thus increase crop production (Cleveland and Townsend, 2006). Organic amendments decrease soil bulk density and increase available water content in soil (Ozores-Hampton et al, 2011). On the other hand, application of organic residues might also account for increasing the emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHG).…”

Abstract:With the increase of agricultural production, residues of crop are the main source of organic matter in the soil and they are alternatives to inorganic fertilizers. For this purpose, effects of organic residues (cotton stalk, maize stalk, almond bark) commonly grown in Turkey were investigated for some soil microbial activity in clay soil. In this study, incubation experiment was set up. Five doses (0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) of organic residues (maize stalks, cotton stalks or almond bark) were applied to soil. Soil microbiological properties of soil samples such as CO 2 respiration, dehydrogenase and urease activity were determined. According to the results obtained, maize stalk, cotton stalks and almond bark applications increased some soil microbiological activities, such as CO 2 respiration, dehydrogenase and urease activities according to control soil. Maize stalk in comparison to other residues affects better on the biological properties of the soil. It is determined that enhancing effects of the added organic residues (maize stalk, cotton stalk, almond bark) into the soil were changed according to the type of organic residues, dosage and application terms.

Improving the sustainability of cotton (Gossypium hirusutum L.) production can be achieved by returning organic matter and nutrients to degraded soils. Amendment with biochar prepared from locally available feedstocks has been suggested as a pathway to sustainability. A greenhouse study collaboratively conducted by Malian and Texas A&M investigators evaluated the effect of biochar prepared from two feedstocks readily available in northwestern Africa: cotton field residue and rice (Oryza sativa L.) hulls, on cotton plants grown to 6 wk. A composted municipal biosolid was included for comparison with the more carbon (C)-stable biochars. Four soils of contrasting properties were included in the study. Plant growth response variables were all affected by soil type (p < .0001). Shoot height was improved by biochars and composts in all soils. Root mass was improved by amendment only in the soil with the greatest clay content. Nitrogen (N) uptake was significantly depressed, and phosphorus (P) uptake was increased under biochar and compost amendment in the most coarsely textured soil. No effect on N and P uptake was observed in the soil with the greatest clay content. Ridge regression analysis showed that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) root colonization was positively related to the P content of the amendments (1.41*P amend ), negatively related to soil P (-0.49*P soil ) and positively related to both soil pH (2.15*pH) and clay content (1.130*clay%). Results indicate that degraded soils may be restored through amendment with biochar created from locally available feedstock to improve sustainability of cotton production. Soil properties will determine the degree of benefit.
