“…DeLuca and DeLuca (1997) summarized research studies indicating that N mineralization rates for cattle manure compost varied from 5 to 34% yr -1 . Eghball (2000) reported that of the organic N applied in the previous fall, 11% was mineralized from composted feedlot manure compared with 21% from non-composted manure during the succeeding growing season. Eghball and Power (1999b) estimated N availability of 40% for feedlot manure and 15% for compost in the first year, and 18% for manure and 8% for compost in the second year.…”

“…These are related to elimination of undesirable aspects of fresh manure, e.g., pathogens (Hess et al 2004;Turner 2002), parasites (Van Herk et al 2004), weed seeds (Eghball and Lesoing 2000), pesticide residues (Büyüksönmez et al 2000) and malodours (Rynk 1992). These negative features of fresh manure often preclude utilization, adding to over-supply problems in certain watersheds.…”

. 2006. The role of composting in recycling manure nutrients. Can. J. Soil Sci. 86: 597-611. Recently, composting has been gaining increased attention as an alternative means of handling manure generated by the livestock industry. Composting is not a new technology, it merely controls what is a natural decomposition process. A major advantage of composting is reduced mass, volume and water content compared with fresh manure which in turn reduces transportation requirements. Concomitant benefits include elimination of pathogens, parasites, weed seeds and odour emissions on land application. However, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) losses and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are associated with composting. Nutrients are stabilized during composting which slows their release once soil-applied. Compost also enhances soil physical and biological properties and has a disease suppression effect. Where the supply of manure currently exceeds land availability for application, or in some future scenario, if producers need to comply with stricter manure application rate regulations, composting may be an option to encourage nutrient export from high-loading watersheds to soils that may benefit from nutrient and organic matter inputs. Composting may be seen as a means of maximizing the potential for recycling manure nutrients by soils and crops while protecting surface and groundwater resources from manure-related contamination.Key words: Manure, compost, nutrients, cropping systems, soil quality Larney, F. J., Sullivan, D. M., Buckley, K. E. et Eghball, B. 2006. Rôle du compostage dans le recyclage des éléments nutritifs du fumier. Can. J. Soil Sci. 86: 597-611. Depuis peu, le compostage retient de plus en plus l'attention comme solution de rechange à la manutention du fumier venant de l'élevage. Le compostage n'est pas une nouvelle technologie. Cette technique ne fait que réguler le processus naturel de décomposition. Un de ses atouts majeurs est de réduire la masse, le volume et la teneur en eau du fumier frais, avec les économies que cela suppose au niveau du transport. Les avantages concomitants comprennent l'élim-ination des microorganismes pathogènes, des parasites, des semences de mauvaises herbes et des odeurs au moment de l'épandage sur les terres. Toutefois, on associe au compostage des pertes en carbone (C), en azote (N) et en gaz à effet de serre (GES). Le compostage stabilise les éléments nutritifs, ce qui en ralentit la libération après application au sol. Le compost rehausse également les propriétés physiques et biologiques du sol, et a tendance à combattre la maladie. Quand la quantité de fumier dépasse la superficie des terres sur lesquelles on pourrait l'étendre et que l'agriculteur doit composer avec des règlements plus sévères quant aux taux d'application, le compostage pourrait favoriser le transfert des éléments nutritifs des bassins hydrographiques surchargés vers les sols susceptibles de profiter d'un apport d'éléments nutritifs et de matière organique. On pourrait voir dans le compostage un moyen pour max...

Efficacy of integrated fertilizer management to improve agronomic and physiological traits of canola cultivars

The effects of integrated chemical and organic fertilizers on quantitative, qualitative and physiological traits of two canola cultivars were studied in East Azerbaijan Research Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Iran, during 2011 and 2012 growing seasons. The first factor comprised six levels of fertilizers including organic, chemical, and their combination and the second factor was two canola cultivars. Fertilizer treatments had significant effect on all studied traits except for proline, oil percentage, oleic acid, linolenic acid, seed sulfur, and potassium content in the first year, and leaf area, protein percentage, 1000 seed weight, seed number in silique, silique number in plants, oleic acid, and linolenic acid in the second year. Canola response to fertilizer proportions was quite different so that in the first year chemical fertilizations were better, while in the second year the effect of organic fertilizations was more pronounced. High level of organic fertilizer improved nitrate reductase activity, photosynthesis, chlorophyll content, and final seed yield in the second year. It seems that the positive effect of cattle manure would be visible at least 1 year after application. Moreover, canola cultivars differed from each other in terms of some agronomic and physiological traits during each year of the experiment.

“…Anticipated fertilization speeds up the plantig, since it requires less time to recharge the planter with fertilizer, propitiating more timely planting (Matos et al, 2006). In addition, in several studies the residual effect of early fertilization was equivalent to the fertilization at sowing date, in crops as diverse as corn (Eghball & Lesoing, 2000;Mugwira et al, 2002) and chickpeas (Singh et al, 1999). More specifically with soybean, Lantmann et al (1997) found that P fertilization on wheat, in winter, was enough for a full soybean yield in the subsequent summer.…”

Effects of early compost application on no-till organic soybean

Weed control has always been an important issue in agriculture. With the advent of no-till systems, soil erosion was reduced but herbicide use was increased. Organic no-till systems try to adjust reduced erosion to the no use of herbicides. Nevertheless, this adjustment is limited by the cost of mechanical weed control. This cost may be reduced by improved cultural weed control with cover crops mulches. In this paper we report a study on the application of compost manure on an oats winter cover crop, preceding soybean, instead of on the soybean summer crop. Treatments comprised a control without compost manure, and compost manure doses of 4 and 8 Mg ha-1 applied either on oats in winter or soybean in summer, organized in a randomized block design, with five replications. In summer, plots were split into weed-controlled or not controlled subplots. The timing of application and the manure doses did not affect the oats biomass or the soybean performance. However, in summer, without water stress, the application of manure at 8 Mg ha-1 directly on soybean has reduced weed biomass in this crop.
