“…This trend follows the observed temperatures and is similar to the seasonality observed in CaCl2 extracts from another soil. 36 Microbial respiration of organic matter increases with temperature and supplies electrons that may trigger anaerobic reductions once O2 is depleted. 22 This might explain the observed seasonality.…”

Anaerobic conditions mobilise phosphorus (P) in soils and sediments. The role of anaerobic microsites in well-drained soil on P migration is unknown. This study aimed to identify mechanisms that control field-scale vertical P mobility as affected by organic fertilisers that may trigger variable redox conditions. Soils were sampled at different depths in a well-drained Luvisol after 19-years of application of organic fertilisers. The concentrations of P and manganese (Mn) in 0.45-µm-filtered extracts (10 -3 M CaCl2) of field-moist soil samples were strongly correlated (r = + 0.95) and both peaked in and below the compacted plough pan; suggesting that reductive processes mobilise P. Waterlogged soil incubations confirmed that anaerobic respiration comobilises Mn and P and that this leads to the release of colloidal P and iron (Fe). The long-term applications of farmyard manure and immature compost enhanced the concentrations of Mn, Fe, and aluminium (Al) in the soil solution of subsurface samples, whereas less such effect was found under the application of more stable organic fertilisers. Farmyard manure application significantly enhanced soil P stocks below the plough layer despite a small P input. Overall, multiple lines of evidence confirm that anaerobic respiration, sparked by labile organic matter, mobilises P in this seemingly well-drained soil.

“…However, the increase of DRP in the runoff waters of DG/CS treatment compared with the other treatments should be due not only to the soil input of P from the digestate (digestate had a content of 11.7 g P kg −1 DM) but also to the decrease of soil P sorption. The latter would be achieved through the competition of the organic acids originated during the degradation of the OM of the digestate for the same soil P sorption sites as observed in other works (Horta & Carneiro, 2020;Nest et al, 2016;Nziguheba et al, 1998). In addition, most of Pi forms in the digestate (60% of the total Pi fractions) were in easily available forms that is P with high mobility to the transfer from soil to runoff waters.…”

Anaerobic digestates from biogas plants can be used as agricultural fertilisers providing recycling nitrogen (N) and other nutrients for crop needs. It is still unclear the impact on phosphorus (P) losses to runoff waters of digestates as sources of N instead of inorganic N fertilisers in over fertilised soils with P. A field experiment was done in a sandy and acidic soil high in P. The experimental design was completely randomised with five treatments. The inorganic N fertilisation (90 kg ha−1) was done in four treatments, those with past P inputs of the following: (i) inorganic N and P fertilisers (Ni/MF), (ii) organic amendments (pig or duck dry slurry-Ni/PS and Ni/DS or cattle manure compost-Ni/CM). Digestate was applied in plots with past P input of cattle slurry (DG/CS) providing also 90 kg N ha−1. Ryegrass was sowed as cover crop. The concentration of total dissolved P in runoff waters was high in all treatments and ranged between 0.5 (Ni/PS) and 2.6 mg L−1 (DG/CS). These runoff waters pose a risk of non-source P pollution for fresh waters. In soils with low P sorption capacity and over fertilised with P, the fertilisation with anaerobic digestate as the only source of N to crops increased the risk of P losses to runoff waters compared with inorganic N fertilisation. Therefore, the amount of digestate applied to soil must be calculated considering its N:P ratio in order to not exceed the crop P requirement.

“…Biogas is another organic amendment that can increase soil fertility; hence improve the growth of plants (Farid et al, 2018). Farmyard manure can increase enrich soil with nutrients (Nest et al, 2016). All such organic amendments can enrich soil with nutrients (Abdelhafez et al, 2018;Mupambwa and Mnkeni, 2018) and stimulate the microbial biomass activities in soil (Sradnick et al, 2018).…”

A field experiment was conducted for two successive seasons (2015/2016 and 2016/2017) on globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) cv. Fransawy in a randomized complete block, factorial. Factor 1 was manuring (M) treatments of mineral nutrients " as a reference treatment" "RT" (M1), farmyard manure "FYM" (M2), vermicompost "VC" (M3), chicken manure "CM" (M4) and biogas compost "BC" (M5). Factor 2 was Arbuscular mycorrhiza (A) with treatments of none (A0) and mycorrhiza (A1). Mineral fertilizations (kg ha-1) were 124 N+65 P+200 K. Organic fertilization was on basis of applying 124 kg total N ha-1 of each source with the associated P and K in each. Rates of sources (kg ha-1) were 34972.1 FYM, 4124.6 CM, 6887.9 BC and 7614.9 VC (as an average in both seasons). RT gave greater values of number of leaves, number of offshoots , plant height as well as NPK contents and yield than any of the organic manures with relative yield production efficiency of 80.9, 76.7, 68.2 and 66.7 % for VC, CM, FYM and BC respectively relative to RT. Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) caused increases in all parameters only under conditions of organic manuring.
