“…This was probably a consequence of its effect on soil structure as discussed above for the previous season which is more evident at the end of the season with less nitrate in the soil. On the contrary, in the same drainage events, SFRL promoted higher FW nitrate-N concentrations than control (Table 5), probably due to the contribution of N present in this material, most of it in organic form (Sims et al 2010) with a higher mineralization rate at the end of the season with higher temperatures. Increased FW nitrate-N concentration with SFRL was observed in Fig.…”

Tile drainage and soil amendments have been found to affect losses of nitrate N from agricultural soils. This work was aimed at measuring nitrate N losses in a tile-drained marsh soil from SW Spain under traditional fertilization and irrigation practices, and how these losses were influenced by the application of soil amendments. To this end, a randomised block experiment with three replications was performed during two consecutive growing seasons-2003 to 2004 with cotton and sugar beet, respectivelyinvolving four different amendment treatments: (1) control without amendment, (2) phosphogypsum (PG), (3) manure, and (4) sugar factory refuse lime (SFRL). Flow-weighted (FW) nitrate-N concentrations in drainage water, estimated as the slope of the regression of the instantaneous nitrate-N flow as a function of drain flow rate, was decreased by PG in some drainage events in the 2003 season and in the four last events of the 2004 season when compared with control without amendment. The increased FW nitrate-N concentrations in drainage from SFRL in comparison to control in a drainage event of 2003 season, and in the four last events of 2004, can be explained by the contribution of N present in the amendment. These effects did not account for significant differences in nitrate-N loss among treatments over the whole season in 2003, when they ranged from 19.3 to 24.9 kg N ha -1 , accounting for 6-8% of applied N, nor in 2004, when they ranged from 4 to 6 kg N ha -1 , accounting for 3-4% of applied N. The decrease in mean FW nitrate-N concentration after the third drainage event in 2003 was not the consequence of the depletion of total soil nitrate-N because soil mineral N was increased on average by 205 kg N ha -1 during the season. The high N extractions by sugar beet and the subsequent decrease in total soil nitrate-N can contribute to explain the decrease of mean FW nitrate-N concentrations along the 2004 season. Greater absolute nitrate-N loss in 2003 than in 2004 was explained by the lower efficiency of the furrow irrigation when compared with sprinkler irrigation. Results also revealed that traditional management of N fertilizer was inadequate: rates applied to cotton were excessive, increasing the risk of N losses not only during the cotton season, but also at the beginning of the following season.Keywords Drainage Á Furrow Á Sprinkler Á Nitrate Á Phosphogypsum Á Manure María Dolores Hurtado died in February 2010.

“…The higher yields in the alkaline and organic amendments-treated soils might be attributed to the increased soil pH (from 6.3 to 7.5), the improved soil physical conditions by the supply of OM and additional nutrients from the amendments. For example, the increasing of biomass yield in the case of SBFL-treated soil could be explained by its high concentrations of macronutrient especially phosphorus (Sims et al, 2010;Shaheen and Tsadilas, 2013).…”

“…In this respect, [8,36] reported that the increase in Olsen-P for treatments receiving alkaline materials compared to the control was likely related to an increase in Ca-associated P which is extractable with 0.5 M NaHCO 3 . Also, [37] studied the crop availability of SBFL phosphorus and found that Olsen-P was increased with the application of factory lime. Additionally, the increased Olsen-P response to factory lime rates was probably due to increased solubilization of factory lime P as the factory lime reacted with the soil over the time [37].…”

The main aim of this study was to examine the influence of sewage sludge (SS) and stabilized SS application on Olsen-P and DTPA-extractable Cu and Zn in relation to soil type, sewage source, mixing rate and incubation time. Two different SS were mixed with amendments by mixing rates 10 and 25%. These amendments include coal fly ash (CFA), bentonite (B), sugar beet factory lime (SBFL), calcium carbonate, rice straw (RS), water hyacinth (WH), and cotton stalks (CS). Treated and untreated SS had been applied to fluvial and calcareous soil with application rate 2.5% and incubated for one and two month. After incubation, soil samples were analyzed for Olsen-P and DTPA-extractable Cu and Zn. Application of SS increased significantly Olsen-P and DTPA extractable Cu and Zn compared to control. Application of stabilized SS increased significantly Olsen-P, with high increasing rate with SBFL and WH-stabilized SS. Stabilized-SS decreased significantly Cu and Zn availability compared to mono SS treatment. Bentonite-, SBFL and CFA-stabilized SS were the highest among inorganic treatments for reducing available Cu and Zn either in fluvial or calcareous soil, while WH and RS-stabilized SS treatment were the most suitable organic ones for reducing DTPA-extractable Cu and Zn.
