“…The addition of MSW contributes to the OM content increase in soil (Table 1) Melero et al, 2007) proved that OM in soil is increased with the addition of compost of different wastes. For example, Table 1 shows that the highest values of OM were noted in clay soil treated with 120 t compost per ha.…”

The use of organic wastes in agriculture plays a great role in recycling essential plant nutrients, sustaining soil security as well as protecting the environment from unwanted hazards. This review article deals with the effect of different kinds of organic wastes on soil properties and plant growth and yield. Municipal solid waste is mainly used as a source of nitrogen and organic matter, improving soil properties and microbial activity that are closely related to soil fertility. Biowaste and food waste increase pH, nitrogen content, cation exchange capacity, water holding capacity, and microbial biomass in soil. Sewage sludge contains various amounts of organic matter and huge amounts of plant nutrients. Manure is a common waste which improves soil properties by adding nutrients and increases microbial and enzyme activity in soil. It also reduces toxicity of some heavy metals. These organic wastes have a great positive impact on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties as well as stimulate plant growth and thus increase the yield of crops.

“…The use of gypsum, calcite, calcium chloride and other chemical agents that provide Ca tends to replace exchangeable Na, is effective for saline soil amelioration (Hanay et al, 2004). Another important practice is the application of organic matter conditioners, which can both ameliorate and increase the fertility of saline soils (Melero et al, 2007). Salt affected soils generally exhibit poor structural stability due to low organic matter content.…”

Salinity is a limiting factor for growth and development, since it affects several physiological processes in plants. An experiment was conducted to evaluate rice yield and quality of soil using different organic and inorganic amendments. Field experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications and six treatments. Each treatment was received recommended doses of chemical fertilizers also. Based on these results, 50% of rice straw and gypsum amendments could be recommended to mitigate soil salinity thereby, improving the crop productivity of the salt affected lands. Maximum plant height, panicle length, total and effective tillers per hill and filled grains per panicle were observed in 50% (rice straw + gypsum) treated plots. Nutrients uptake were increased in grain and straw using different treatments compared to control and rice straw alone treated plots. In post harvest soil, there was a slight change of salinity and pH as affected by different treatments. Addition of rice straw and gypsum showed positive impact on organic carbon in soil.

“…However, the demands for cropland, arising from increasing population pressures, have led to a reduction in and sometimes the complete disappearance of fallowing. According to Melero et al (2007), one of the best ways of restoring soil productivity involves the addition of organic materials. The application of organic amendments such as animal manure, farmyard manure, compost manure and household wastes is therefore imperative if soil fertility is to be improved.…”

A factorial experiment with a randomised complete block design (three replicates) was performed to determine the effects of poultry manure (PM), lime (L) and NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer on soil chemical properties, and to determine the effects of their combinations on soil productivity and maize yield. The factors were PM (0, 5 and 10 Mg ha -1 ), L as CaCO 3 (0 and 250 kg ha -1 ) and NPK 15-15-15 (0 and 100 kg ha -1 ). The soil had a loamy sand texture. The application of L and PM increased the surface soil pH in a similar fashion. In both years of the experiment, the effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) of the soil after the combined application of 10 Mg ha -1 PM, L and NPK was significantly higher than after the individual application of L or NPK or their combination (5.75-7.65 cmol kg -1 compared to 3.36-4.57 cmol kg -1 ). The application of 10 Mg ha -1 PM with L and/or NPK reduced the possibility of Mn toxicity, with soil levels ranging from 108 to 136 mg kg -1 . The combined use of the three amendments gave the highest leaf nutrient concentrations. The highest maize grain yield (4.62 Mg ha -1 ) was obtained with L + 10 Mg ha -1 PM; with no amendment the grain yield was 1.9 Mg ha -1 . The application of PM enhanced the effects of L and NPK in improving soil productivity. However, separate applications of 5 and 10 Mg ha -1 PM similarly affected soil productivity; the sandy nature of the soil at depths of 0-20 cm seems to have prevented differences between the two rates from becoming manifested.Additional key words: corn, integrated nutrient management, leaf nutrient concentration, manganese toxicity, poultry manure, soil productivity. ResumenPropiedades químicas del suelo y producción de maíz tras la aplicación de enmiendas orgánicas e inorgánicas a un suelo ácido en el suroeste de Nigeria Para determinar los efectos del abono de residuos de aves (PM), de cal (L) y de fertilizante NPK 15-15-15 sobre las propiedades químicas del suelo, y determinar los efectos de sus combinaciones sobre la productividad del suelo y producción del maíz, se llevó a cabo un experimento factorial con un diseño en bloques al azar (tres réplicas). Los factores fueron PM (0, 5 y 10 Mg ha -1 ), L como CaCO 3 (0 y 250 kg ha -1 ) y NPK 15-15-15 (0 y 100 kg ha -1 ). El suelo tenía una textura franco arenosa. La aplicación de L y PM aumentó el pH de la superficie del suelo de forma parecida. En los dos años del experimento, la capacidad de cambio de cationes efectiva (ECEC) del suelo tras la aplicación combinada de 10 Mg ha -1 PM, L y NPK fue significativamente superior que la de la aplicación individual de L ó NPK o una combinación de ambos (5,75-7,65 cmol kg -1 vs. 3,36-4,57 cmol kg -1 ). La aplicación de 10 Mg ha -1 PM con L y/o NPK redujo la posibilidad de toxicidad con Mn, con niveles de suelo de 108-136 mg kg -1 . El uso combinado de las tres enmiendas produjo las concentraciones de nutrientes en hoja más altas. La producción de grano más alta en maíz (4,62 Mg ha -1 ) se obtuvo con L + 10 Mg ha -1 PM; sin enmiendas se obtuv...
