“…This might be due to the fact that organic manure supplied to balanced nutrition to the crop, improved soil condition; thereby, resulting in better growth and development leading to higher yield attributes and yield. Pramanik et al (2007) found that humic acids released from VC enhanced nutrient uptake by the plants by increasing the permeability of root cell membrane, and stimulating root growth.…”

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important vegetable crop in) were recorded at the rate of 7.5 t ha -1 of vermicompost application while maximum average leaf width (1.25 cm), clove number (13.57 cm), and bulb dry matter (51.66%) were obtained at maximum rate of 130 kg ha -1 mineral N fertilizer. The results indicated that application of vermicompost at 7.5 t ha -1 and 130 kg Nha -1 mineral fertilizer gave the highest total garlic bulb yield of 12.9 and 12.69 t ha -1 , respectively.

“…Most of the studies aimed at comparing the influence of animal waste amendment on soil quality have been done using swine, poultry, cow or horse manure as original substrates [6,51]. However, comparatively less research had been focused on buffalo manure, although it is often the main source of organic amendment for many farmers in Asia, especially in Vietnam [62] where it is usually applied on the fields several times per year as compost to improve soil fertility [18,49,50].…”

“…The formation of vermicompost, which involves the activity of epigeic earthworms in controlled environments, appears to be a useful indirect avenue for improving physico-chemical properties of soils [21,29]. Several studies also pointed out the specific structure and higher activity of bacterial communities in vermicompost [2,51,56,63,64,65].…”

“…The high content of soluble salt in sludge and composting product would lead to the increase of pH in soil (Cheng et al, 2007), while the degradation of organic matter will produce NH4 + and humic acid (Komilis and Ham, 2006), thus their combined effect of these two oppositely charged ions regulates the pH of composting product towards to be neutral (Pramanik et al, 2007). Furthermore, results of this study indicated that the effect of composting product of sludge and pig manure on the inhibition of soil acidification was slightly better than that of sludge and straw.…”

To cite this paper: He, S., A. Li and L. Wang, 2016. Effect of sewage sludge and its biomass composting product on the soil characteristics and N2O emission from the tomato planting soil. AbstractIn this study, tomato plants were cultivated in the greenhouse in five consecutive experiments: fertilized with 800 kg N ha -1 fresh sludge (S-H), 400 kg N ha -1 fresh sludge (S-L), 800 kg N ha -1 straw composting product (VM-S), 800 kg N ha -1 swine manure composting product (VM-M) and no fertilization (CK), and the soil properties, inorganic nitrogen forms and N2O emission characteristics were investigated. The results showed that, treatments with composting product significantly increased the soil electrical conductivity (EC) (p<0.05), and the VM-M treatment exhibited the largest soil EC. With the addition of sludge and composting products, pH of soil increased significantly (p<0.05) and ultimately tend to be neutral, and the inhibitory effect of VM-M on soil acidification was better than VM-S. Soil NO3 -concentration increased significantly with application of sludge and composting, and the NO3 -concentration of each treatment decreased gradually with time. Most of the NO3 -was absorbed by tomato plants, partially leached from the upper soil layer to the lower. Most of the NH4 + was oxidized to NO3 -and partially absorbed by plants. With the equal application of inorganic nitrogen, the promoting effect on the tomato growth was VM-M>VM-S>S-H. In addition, the excess application of nitrogen fertilizer from S-H than S-L did not promote the growth of tomato markedly (p<0.05). Compared with the control, N2O emission from soil was significantly improved by sludge or biomass composting (p<0.05). The N2O emission from all treatments were focused on the first 20 days after fertilization, and the emission of soil N2O was S-L (0.76 kg N2O-N ha -1 y -1 ))
