Farmyard manure, an amendment traditionally used for improving the fertility of sandy soils in arid climates, is becoming scarce and expensive. Its shortage makes it necessary to evaluate, at field scale, suitability medium-term performance other cheap, highly available substitutes. A trial was established analyze effects a single application three organic residues on barley yield nutrient upta...

A three-year experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of Z’Fix on soil physical properties and crop status. is an agent recommended as addition animal bedding prolong its function lower ammonia emissions in stables. Concurrently, a positive organic matter transformation resulting manure claimed. The involved control, farmyard (FYM), with (FYM_ZF) variants. In-field sampling for cone i...

The main objective of the present study was to compare fertilizer types in their ability to increase the soil organic matter content without increasing potential P leaching losses. Differences in soil organic carbon content, crop yield, P-CaCl2, P-AL, P export by the crop and P leaching from soil supplied with three compost types, cattle slurry, farmyard manure or mineral fertilizers were compa...

Aonla or Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis Gaertn) has become the important fruit crop of arid and semi–arid region of the country because of its hardy nature that makes it suitable to grow in varied edephoclimatic conditions of such regions. The major constraints are moisture stress and inherently poor soil fertility. The uses of mulches help to reduce water consumed (Keramat et al., 2011...

A continuous long-term field experiment (2008–2018) was conducted in Xinjiang, north-western China, to assess the impact of farmyard manure (FYM) and inorganic fertilisers on sustainable biomass yield sweet sorghum cultivar (Xingaoliang No. 3) soil chemical properties. Seven treatments, associated with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), FYM, their different combination, were compared ...

In order to recommend the dose of fertilization for sugar beet under currently unstable weather conditions, we analysed beetroot and top yields, content (SC), effect on soil chemistry over a three-year period (2016–2018). All three years were characterized by different conditions. The year 2016 was very warm dry. 2017 with normal precipitation. 2018 extraordinary We compared following ten treat...

The effect of cattle manure and slurry application on percolation and survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was investigated for different soil depths after the addition of water. Four treatments were chosen for the first set of experiments: (i) addition of inoculated farmyard manure on the soil surface, (ii) mixing of inoculated farmyard manure with t...

A field experiment was carried out during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons in Agriculture farm, Sebha University, Libya to study the response of some safflower varieties(S , Giza and Dem ) to fertilization by 350 1 137 farm yard manure (FYM) combination with mineral nitrogen fertilizers (0 ton FYM+105 kg N, 1.538 ton FYM +95kgN, 3.076 ton FYM +85 kg N, 4.614 ton FYM + 75 kg N, 6.152 ton FYM + 65...

Tillage operation and fertilizer type play important roles in soil properties as far as soil microbial condition is concerned. Information regarding the simultaneous evaluation of the effect of long-term tillage and fertilization on the soil microbial traits of soybean farms is not available. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that, the microbial biomass and enzyme activity, more often than not, ...

Present experiment carried out at Vegetable Farm, FOA (SKUAS-K) Wadura, Kashmir (India) to determine the influence of Farmyard manure (FYM) and Zinc nutrition on pea productivity. The was set up in Factorial RBD with sixteen treatments three replications. Pea variety PS-1100 taken as experimental material. Growth height, yield attributing characteristics, pod were recorded statistically analyse...
