“…The highest organic matter was also found in N 4 where cowdung was applied with USG. It was reported that application of cattle manure enhance soil microbial action, increase soil moisture, soil structure, nutrient retention, aeration and water holding capacity which might be linked with increased soil organic matter (Zewide et al, 2018).…”

Soil physico-chemical properties are an important phenomenon for sustainable crop production and maintenance of optimum soil health. Hence, a laboratory measurement was conducted with soil samples of three years long experimental field of the Department of Soil Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to assess the changes in five selected soil physico-chemical properties viz. soil texture, bulk density, soil pH, total nitrogen and organic matter. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with two water regimes (continuous flooding and alternate wetting & drying) in the main plots and five fertilizer treatments (N0 - control, N1- 140 kg N/ha as PU, N2- 104 kg N/ha as USG (2× 1.8 g/ 4 hills), N3 - 5 t CD + PU @ 140 kg N /ha on IPNS basis and N4- 5 t CD + USG (2× 1.8 g/ 4 hills @ 104 kg N/ha)) in the subplots under rice-rice cropping pattern with three replications. After three years, soil samples were collected at 0-5 and 5-10 cm soil depths for measuring bulk density and at 0-10 cm depth for other soil properties and analyzed. Results found that % sand, % silt, % clay, bulk density and soil pH was not changed significantly compared to initial status. Percentage of total nitrogen and organic matter was significantly affected by irrigation and fertilization. Total nitrogen (%) was higher in AWD whereas organic matter (%) was higher in CF practice. The highest total nitrogen (%) and organic matter (%) was found in N4 treatment in which USG was applied in combination with cowdung as organic manure. It can be suggested that N4 treatment was formed good combination for sustaining chemical properties of soil. Further long- term experimentation will be needed to know the changes in soil properties for sustainable crop production and improving soil health. Asian Australas. J. Biosci.

“…Figure1 indicates the effect of FYM and NP fertilizer rate on the total tuber yield of potato. Increasing the application of dosage of cattle manure and mineral NP increased total tuber number per hill from 10.4880 -13.2975 count hill -1 and 9.504-11.076 count hill -1 in Belg and Meher season respectively (Zewide et al, 2018). Increasing the rates of nitrogen increased total tuber yield across the increased rates of both phosphorus and cattle manure.…”

“…Total tuber yield increased almost linearly with increased rates of the combination of P and FYM as well as the combination of N and P. Thus, the maximum total tuber yield was attained at the combination of 92 kg P2O5 ha -1 and 20 t FYM ha -1 (Wondimu and Dechassa, 2010). Zewide al. (2018) pointed out that the total tuber numbers/hill was obtained by adding up the number of marketable and unmarketable tubers.…”

Marketable tuber yield Marketable tuber yield: the number of tubers was counted as marketable which is greater or equal to 25 g, free from disease, and insect attack in each plot and divided by the respective number of plants harvested (Zewide et al .,2018).Marketable tuber number increased with the increased rate of cattle manure and mineral NP. The increasing rate of Cattle manure and mineral NP application from 0-7.5 t CM+75% RDF ha -1 increased marketable tuber number from 6.2046-9.72 and 9.50 -1 1.08/hill (Zewide et al, 2018).…”

According to Mohammed et al (2018), the highest marketable tuber yields of 38.65 t ha−1 of potato was obtained in response to a combined application of farmyard manure, N and P at the rates of 10 t FYM ha −1 + 111 kg N ha −1 + 92 kg P2O5 ha −1 Marketable tuber number was highly significantly affected by the main effects of FYM and mineral NP fertilization rates; the marketable tuber number increased linearly for both FYM and mineral NP fertilizer application.…”

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important and widely cultivated vegetable crops in Ethiopia. The application of organic and inorganic fertilizers highly influence yield and quality attributes of potato. In this article, the effects of different inorganic and organic fertilizers on potato yield and quality were reviewed. Potato yields explained in different terms like total tuber yield, marketable tuber yield, storage tuber weight, and unmarketable tuber yield. And qualities were dry matter, specific gravity, and starch. Fertilizers like nitrogen, phosphorous potassium, and blended fertilizers; like NPSB, NPS, NPSZB, NBS, KCL, and organic fertilizer cattle manure is major fertilizer used in potato production in Ethiopia. These fertilizers are influence yield and quality of potato in both combined and alone application forms. The application of inorganic and organic fertilizer was positively affected yield and quality attributes of potato. However, the combined application form enabled to obtain higher yields and quality than sole application. However, it enhances productivity; the sole application of inorganic fertilizer has a negative impact on soil characteristics. Cattle manure improves soil structure and increases the yield. During the combined application of inorganic and organic fertilizer, the yield and quality obtain were high and soil structure might not be affected that's why a low amount of inorganic fertilizer is utilized. Therefore, the integrated use of inorganic and organic fertilizers was suggested as the better option in obtaining higher yields, improvement in the quality of potato, and soil structure.

Land degradation has severely affected soil health and agricultural productivity in the Sasiga district of western Oromiya, Ethiopia, demanding urgent and extensive solutions. Integrated soil management in particular is a comprehensive approach that could mitigate the multifaceted effects of land degradation. Hence, a field experiment was conducted on degraded farmers’ land to assess the potential of lime, organic amendments, tillage, and soil–water conservation (SWC) in improving the productivity of soil and Brachiaria (Mulato II). The experiment employed 15 treatments, which were systematically formulated from lime, organic amendments (compost and cattle manure), the SWC method (constructed soil bunds and no soil bunds), and tillage practices (ploughing and no‐ploughing). The study showed that applying lime with tillage or both tillage and SWC and organic amendments alone improved soil pH from very strongly acidic to moderately acidic. The combined application of lime, SWC, and tillage also enhanced the organic carbon, organic matter, total nitrogen, and moisture contents of the soil. Besides, the integrated use of cattle manure, SWC, and tillage practices boosted plant cover, tillering, plant height (PH), and dry biomass of Brachiaria (Mulato II). Consequently, the physicochemical properties of the degraded soil and the agronomic performance of Brachiaria can be improved by amending with combinations of lime or cattle manure with SWC and tillage. In general, integrating multiple soil management practices, including lime, organic amendments, SWC, and tillage, offers a whole‐system approach to rehabilitating degraded soil and improving its physicochemical properties and productivity of Brachiaria grass.
