Enrichment of calcareous soils with phosphogypsum and poultry manure amendments could increase nutrient availability, improve calcareous chemical characteristics, and enhance barley plant growth. In the current study, phosphogypsum (PG) and poultry manure (PM) were used to determine the effects of PG and PM application on soil fauna diversity, soil fertility, and barley yield. The pot experiment treatments were: C: control; PG1: 4.20 g kg−1 soil; PG2: 6.30 g kg−1 soil; PM1: 4.20 g kg−1 soil; PM: 6.30 g kg−1 soil, and their combinations. The results indicated that the application of PM alone or combined with PG had significant effects on the microbial biomass carbon (MBC), organic matter (OM), soil NPK availability, and yield of barley. Collembola and Prostigmata accounted for 50.0 and 43.3%, respectively, of the total number of soil fauna. Shannon and evenness indices increased significantly in the soil amended with PM alone or combined with PG. Amended soil with PG and/or PM significantly increased the yield and yield components of plants compared to the control. The PM1PG2 treatment increased the yield by 76.2% above the control.

“…In addition, there is an indirect effect via improvement of soil properties that induces an optimal root growth. Similar results were reported by Rekaby et al, [42,44,46] who found that compost application increased soil OM, enhanced nutrient uptake. These results may be a direct effect of CT and VC addition in increasing the soil nutrient contents.…”

“…Our results showed that the application of CT and VC signi cantly increased soil OM content which is in agreement with previous studies. OM management through the use of CT and/or VC can improve crop growth, yield, and the residual effects of compost application they can also sustain crop production for several years through the continual release of nutrients from OM [42,43]. Organic matter plays a critical role in soil because it provides substrates for decomposing microbes, improves soil structure and water holding capacity [44,45].…”

Producing of safe food from alkaline sandy soils under high rates of chemical fertilization is a serious concern in Egypt. Compost and vermicompost can improve soil fertility and crop production, but their application has not been well evaluated in zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) cultivation. This study aimed to determine the effects of compost and vermicompost on the yield, nutrient uptake of zucchini as well as on soil properties under field conditions. Four fertilization treatments, including a control without fertilization (CO), chemical fertilizer (CF), compost (CT), and vermicompost (VC) were arranged in a randomized complete block design with five replications. The results showed that CT and VC application significantly increased the yield of zucchini by 17 and 53%, respectively, in comparison with CF treatment. In addition, CT and VC treatments significantly increased the soil organic matter, soil availability of NPK compared with those in the CO and CF treatments. The application of the CT and VC amendments increased the N, P and K uptake significantly as compared to the CO and CF treatments. The highest values of N, P and K use efficiency were found in the CT treatment. The highly significant and positive correlation was found among different soil properties and zucchini traits. CT and VC are crucial for increasing productivity, improving fruit quality, and yield of zucchini fruit and can be used as an alternative to chemical fertilizers for zucchini cultivation.

Saline soil from the coast is a valuable and readily available resource. It is also a valuable resource for reserving arable land. Adding organic fertilizers to salinized soils is an effective method of enhancement. However, saline soils cannot be improved using a single measure, and the effects of compound measures of organic fertilizers combined with mineral elements, such as humic acid, are significant and worthy of further examination. To explore the effects of various measures on the features of pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and nutrient changes in coastal salinized soils in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, a ryegrass–alfalfa rotation with organic fertilizer and compound measures was designed. The findings indicated that the total nitrogen (TN) content of the soil increased and that all organic fertilizer composites decreased the electrical conductivity of the surface soil. However, the organic fertilizer with microbial fertilizer and humic acid was especially effective at regulating the pH and electrical conductivity of the surface soil when salts were prone to accumulation. In conclusion, our findings highlight new approaches to lowering salinity and boosting fertility in coastal saline soils: organic fertilizer with microbial fertilizers and humic acid, as well as organic fertilizer with attapulgite clay.
