“…Statistical analyses showed that the available P and K contents of the CPRR soil were significantly heightened (p<0.05). These results suggested that the CPRR treatment enhanced the fertility of the soil, an observation in agreement with previous studies (Kowaljow and Mazzarino, 2007;Courtney and Mullen, 2008;Sommer et al, 2011) reporting that residue returned as compost increased the organic matter and N, P and K contents of soil. However, a significant difference was not observed for the organic matter and available N when compared with CK in the present work.…”

Abstract:A field experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of composted pineapple residue return (CPRR) on soil bio-chemical properties and the growth performance of next-cropped pineapple plants. The results suggested that CPRR markedly decreased the soil bulk density and increased the contents of available P and K. CPRR significantly increased the abundance of bacteria and actinomycetes, and the activities of catalase, acid phosphatase and invertase in the soil were notably heightened. Growth characteristics, including the plant height, length of leaves and roots, leaf width, number of leaves and fresh weight of the aboveground and belowground parts were significantly increased by CPRR. The contents of chlorophyll, soluble sugars, and soluble protein, as well root vigor were also markedly increased. CPRR also increased the fruit transverse and longitudinal diameters, weight and yield of next-cropped pineapple.

“…En effet, l'utilisation des composts produits avec les déchets organiques améliorent les propriétés des sols, rend disponible des nutriments dans le sol et réduit les risques de pollution (Crichton et al, 2000 ;Laos et al, 2000 ;Douglas et al, 2003;Kowaljow et Mazzarino, 2007;Weber et al, 2007). Ils améliorent la structure des sols, augmentent la capacité de rétention en eau et des nutriments dans le sol, stimulent l'activité microbienne et augmentent le rendement (Kowaljow et Mazzarino, 2007). De plus, les sources d'engrais organiques possédant un rapport C/N en dessous de 20 contiennent une concentration élevée de nutriments (Chaves et al, 2007;Tognetti et al, 2008) et possèdent des potentiels d'immobilisation de l'azote (De Neve et al, 2004).…”

RESUMELa baisse de fertilité la des sols dans le Sud-Bénin et le coût élevé des engrais chimiques, ainsi que les dangers liés à leur mauvaise utilisation, amènent les producteurs à rechercher une fertilisation alternative et durable. Ainsi, deux types de compost à base de fientes de volailles et de déjections d'ovins ainsi que le guano ont été testés afin d'évaluer leur effet sur les propriétés chimiques du sol et le rendement de la carotte (Daucus carota L.). Le dispositif expérimental était un split plot à quatre répétitions avec les engrais organiques comme facteur principal puis trois doses d'application et un contrôle (0, 20, 30 et 40 t/ha) comme facteur secondaire. L'apport des différentes formes d'engrais organiques ainsi que les doses d'application ont eu des effets très hautement significatifs (P<0,001) sur le pH (eau) ainsi que sur la teneur du sol en carbone organique, en phosphore assimilable et en calcium échangeable après la récolte. Le compost enrichi aux fientes de volailles a significativement contribué à l'augmentation du rendement de carottes comparativement au guano avec une moyenne globale de 24,24±1,34 t/ha de carottes fraîches contre 18,93±1,68 t/ha pour le guano. Le compost enrichi avec les fientes de volailles a induit des niveaux de rendements de carottes significativement élevés aux doses de 30 et 40 t/ha. Le compost enrichi avec les fientes de volailles pourrait être recommandé pour la production de la carotte à la dose de 30 t/ha. © 2017 International Formulae Group.

Sci. 11(5): 2315-2326, 2017 2316 Effect of organic manure on ferralitic soil and carrot (Daucus carota L.) production in southern Benin ABSTRACTThe decline in soil fertility in southern Benin and the high cost of chemical fertilizers, as well as the dangers associated with their misuse, lead producers to seek alternative and sustainable fertilization. So, guano and two types of compost enriched with chicken and sheep dejections were tested in order to evaluate their effect on soil chemical properties and yield of carrots (Daucus carota L.) The experimental design was a split plot with four replications, organic manures were the main factors and the rates of organic manures applied (0, 20, 30 and 40 t/ha) were sub factors. The results showed that the different sources of organic manure and the rates of their application had a significant effect (P<0.001) on pH (water), available phosphorus, organic carbon and exchangeable calcium after the carrots harvested. Compost enriched with chicken dejection has increased significantly (P< 0.01) the yield of fresh carrots (24.24±1.60 t/ha) compared with the guano (18.93±1.68 t/ha). Moreover, the co...

“…Several studies point to the benefits of the compost addition over edaphic chemical properties, increasing buffer capacity and cationic interchange capacity (CIC), with the associated increase in soil fertility and nutrient supply, particularly N, P, K, Ca and Fe (Bruun et al 2006;Kowaljow and Mazzarino 2007). Likewise have shown the positive effect over biological properties (García-Gil et al 2000).…”

Purpose Farming production in the lower part of Río Negro Valley (Argentina) has increased considerably during recent years, causing soil degradation and, specifically, decreasing the organic matter contents. This fact requires recovery measures, as organic amendments for soils, to improve its quality. The marked objectives for the present research is to evaluate compost as organic fertilizer, based on a mix of onion waste and bovine manure. Methods The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, involving five treatments and one control, with ten copies of each one. Tests were performed in a greenhouse, using flowerpots and experimental plots, in a typical soil of the region (Aridisol), pH 8.3 and 2.2% of organic matter, mixed with different compost dosages (20, 40, ) and the chemical treatment, Urea (0.26 Mg ha -1 ). A horticultural farming of 1 lettuce was sowed (Lactuca sativa). A conventional handling was carried out for the whole cultivation period, and at the end was harvested. Ten plants per plot were taken and were determined total fresh weight, aerial part fresh weight, root part fresh eight. In the dry controls total dry weight, aerial dry weight and root dry weight was determined. Results Results show, with an error (p \ 0.05), significant differences in the fresh weight per plant calculated, between treatments and control; a noticeably greater effect can be observed in the treatments with 6 and 8 kg m -2 compost amending and urea treatment. There is no evidence of the existence of significant differences (p \ 0.05) between treatments and control, according to the values obtained for root size as well as aerial dry weight and root dry matter. Conclusions It can be concluded that the addition of organic fertilizer to soils, has positive effect on the Fresh weight of the plant, recommending the use of doses of 6 kg m -2 while the dose of 8 kg m -2 could replace the use of chemical fertilizers such as Urea.
