“…The maximum microbial growth in organic treated plots was due to the presence of easily water soluble C and N in FYM (Paul et al, 2003), which acts as a source of energy for soil organisms, whereas the easily soluble C component was missing in mineral fertilizer (Behera et al, 2007) and, hence, the microbial population was less in the plots under NPK. The current findings are in the agreement with results obtained by (Bonilla et al, 2012, Zhang et al, 2012. The effect of organic amendments on enzyme activities was probably a combined effect of a higher degree of enzymes stabilization to humic substances and an increase in microbial biomass with increased soil carbon concentration (Garcia et al, 2008), (Liu et al, 2013, Mohammadi et al, 2011.…”

“…Compared to CaMgP the further amendment with organic fertilizer did not change soil DTPA-extractable metals (Table 5). Nevertheless, the application of organic fertilizer could improve soil structure, conserve the nutrients in soil, and enhance the soil microbial biomass, activity and diversity, which in turn improved the crop growth and restrained metal toxicity (Goyal et al, 1999;Jilani et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2012).…”

“…Application of organic manure, such as farmyard manure from various domestic livestock, has been shown to enlarge the microbial biomass pool, promote microbial activities, and alter soil microbial communities (Böhme et al 2005;Tu et al 2006;Jangid et al 2008;Zhang et al 2012). These changes are often attributed to relatively high amounts of available organic C and N, as well as indigenous microbes within the manure (Tu et al 2006;Chu et al 2007;Lucas et al 2007;Blagodatskaya et al 2009), suggesting that organic manure application may be a possible way to speed up crop residue mineralization and to avoid nutrient shortage within the first few years of the crop residue return.…”

Xiying, "Crop residue management and fertilization effects on soil organic matter and associated biological properties" (2016 Abstract Returning crop residue may result in nutrient reduction in soil in the first few years. A two-year field experiment was conducted to assess whether this negative effect is alleviated by improved crop residue management (CRM). Nine treatments (3 CRM and 3 N fertilizer rates) were used. The CRM treatments were (1) R0: 100 % of the N using mineral fertilizer with no crop residues return; (2) R: crop residue plus mineral fertilizer as for the R0; and (3) Rc: crop residue plus 83 % of the N using mineral and 17 % manure fertilizer. Each CRM received N fertilizer rates at 270, 360, and 450 kg N ha −1 year −1 . At the end of the experiment, soil NO 3 -N was reduced by 33 % from the R relative to the R0 treatment, while the Rc treatment resulted in a 21 to 44 % increase in occluded particulate organic C and N, and 80°C extracted dissolved organic N, 19 to 32 % increase in microbial biomass C and protease activity, and higher monounsaturated phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA):saturated PLFA ratio from stimulating growth of indigenous bacteria when compared with the R treatment. Principal component analysis showed that the Biolog and PLFA profiles in the three CRM treatments were different from each other. Overall, these properties were not influenced by the used N fertilizer rates. Our results indicated that application of 17 % of the total N using manure in a field with crop residues return was effective for improving potential plant N availability and labile soil organic matter, primarily due to a shift in the dominant microorganisms.
