“…The benefits of ash on soil fertility, such as reduced acidity and increased nutrient input, were also demonstrated by [7,12,26] and other studies. However, its application to soil requires attention because high doses can result in high soil salinity, promote toxicity by micronutrients and heavy metals, and compromise soil aeration [27][28][29].…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of recycling ash from Amazonian biomass on the fertility of a dystrophic Yellow Latosol. For this purpose, a laboratory incubation experiment was performed with Yellow Latosol using four increasing doses of ash (8.75, 17.5, 35, and 70 Mg ha−1), three incubation times (20, 40, and 60 days), two positive treatments (13 Mg ha−1 lime and 2 Mg ha−1 phosphate fertilizer), and one control soil. The chemical analyses of the soil revealed that the application of increasing doses of ash positively affected the pH values and significantly increased the availability of the nutrients P, K, Ca, and Mg, the levels of which were adequate for the soils and main crops of the state of Pará, Brazil. The input of these nutrients and the moderate increase in pH contributed to the increase in base saturation and thus reduced the potential acidity of the soil and neutralized Al3+. Therefore, recycling ash from Amazonian biomasses in agricultural or forest soils may represent a sustainable and integrative alternative that balances the management of industrial waste and the fertility of acidic and nutrient-deficient soils in the state of Pará.

“…The capacity of the ashes assayed for increasing the soil availability of these nutrients was very low for P (<3%), moderate for Cu and Zn (15-40%), and higher for K, especially when dry olive ash was applied (>50%). The phosphorus content in the ash would be occluded mostly with aluminium silicate or weakly soluble as aluminium phosphate, whereby only a small fraction increases the available soil P after ash addition (Omil et al, 2011). Although a fraction of K, Cu, and Zn in the ash can form insoluble complexes, other major fractions appear in the form of oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, and bicarbonates with different degrees of dissolution (Demeyer et al, 2001 and authors therein), appreciably increasing the available soil K, Cu, and Zn (Huotori et al, 2006).…”

This study, through an incubation experiment, evaluates the effect that different biomass ashes exert on the extractability of nutrients and some chemical parameters and dehydrogenase activity of a slightly acid soil. Three types of as were selected: two new ashes generated by the dry combustion of olive cake or by gasification of greenhouse vegetable wastes, and a third produced by wood combustion. The ash significantly increased the pH, electrical conductivity, and dehydrogenase activity of the soil. Dry olive-cake ash was the most effective in raising the levels of soil AB-DTPA extractable P, K, and Cu. By contrast, wood ash caused the greatest increases in soil AB-DTPA-extractable Zn. The three as he showed little effectiveness for increasing soil ABDTPA extractable Fe and Mn. Ash from dry olive cake could be used as a low-cost potassium fertilizer.

“…This was attributed to the low availability of P within ash as identified by Khanna et al (1994). Through dissolution tests with different ash/ water ratios, Khanna et al (1994) observed the rapid dissolution of K, Ca and Mg, and the comparative insolubility of P. In addition, an increased soil pH following the addition of ash may have further reduced the solubility and availability of P in soil (Demetz and Insam, 1999;Schiemenz et al, 2011), and precipitation of phosphate ions with Fe and Al can form insoluble compounds, lowering the H 2 PO 4 content taken up by plants (Omil et al, 2011). The increase in pH of the digestate following mixing with ash may also result in the gaseous loss of ammonia (Bougnom et al, 2012).…”
