Effects of Goat Manure and Lime Addition on Phosphate Sorption by Two Soils from the Transkei Region, South Africa

Abstract: More than 40% of soils in the Transkei region, South Africa, have high phosphorous (P) fixation capacities that necessitate application of high P fertilizer rates. This incubation study compared the effectiveness of goat manure (GM) and lime to minimize P sorption in two such soils. Manure application reduced P sorption in both soils, which was partly attributed to the liming effect of GM that resulted in marked reductions of exchangeable aluminum (Al). The liming effect of GM rates followed the order 20 t GM … Show more

“…Studies by Smith and Ayenigbara (2001) and Ojeniyi and Adegboyega (2003) indicated that GM improved N, P, K, Ca and Mg status of soil. Application of GM to P fixing soils in South Africa was reported to have reduced the sorption of added P and this effect was largely attributed to the liming potential of GM (Gichangi & Mnkeni, 2009). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of single and double split applications of ground goat manure at varied rates on some chemical properties of the soil, and agronomic performance of sweet maize in Calabar, a tropical rain forest zone.…”

“…Organic supplements have been reported to increase P availability in P-fixing soils (Iyamuremye and Dick, 1996;Guppy et al, 2005;Agbenin and Igbokwe, 2006;Gichangi, 2009) and humic substances enhance the bioavailability of P fertilizers in acidic soils (Hua et al, 2008). Decomposition products from manure such as humic acids and citrate were reported to have greater affinity for Al oxides than for PO 4 (Violante and Huang, 1989).…”
