“…Organic manure acts as sponge in soil and thus improves soil water and nutrient holding capacity by improving soil physical properties, in accompanied with increasing soil fertility, organic manures also improve crop growth rate and water use efficiency [15]. Compost application improves germination of seeds and dry matter yield of crop as compared to no compost application [16]. Keeping in view the importance of composts, poultry manure, urea and beneficial microorganisms the current research was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of these factors for higher wheat productivity.…”

Organic manures can be used to increase crop growth, productivity and sustainability. Organic manures applications without processing have low potential to supply nutrients in short time. In this experiment different treatments were applied as source of nitrogen and 120 kg N ha -1 was desired from each single treatment or combination of treatments. The different treatments were comprised of poultry manure composted (PMC) for various durations i.e. 5, 10, 15 and 20 days. Two composting conditions were used i.e. one sole composted poultry manure and the other was integrated with half nitrogen from urea. Beneficial microbes (BM) were applied in two levels i.e. no BM and 50 L ha -1 . Sole treatment of poultry manure only, machine compost, urea only, a combination of urea and poultry manure in 50:50 ratio and a control treatment for mean comparisons were also used. The results of the experiment indicated that different composting duration significantly affected days to anthesis, leaf area tiller -1 , leaf area index, days to maturity and plant height. Higher values were recorded with compost duration of 15 days except days to anthesis and plant height which were higher with compost duration of 20 days. Moreover addition of compost along with urea in 50:50 ratio increased days to anthesis, leaf area, leaf area index, days to maturity and plant height. Application of beneficial microorganisms at the rate of 50 L ha -1 increased crop growth. The fertilized treatment in comparison with control treatment was found superior in terms of growth. The pit compost in comparison with machine compost performs better and increased growth and yield. It is concluded that compost duration of 15 days when applied in 50:50 ratio with urea increased crop growth and yield and thus recommended for general cultivation of wheat crop.

“…Application of manure in the soil causes soil hollow, increased water holding capacity in soil and improved it physical properties, besides increasing soil fertility, crop growth and thus the water use efficiency (Karlen and Camp, 1985). The application of compost improved seed germination and yield dry matter as compared to compost-free treatments (Mc-Callum et al, 1998). Phosphorus is the second most important macro nutrient after nitrogen that plays significant role in physiological and biochemical reactions such as photosynthesis and transfer characteristics (Mehrvarz et al, 2008).…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of compost and manure with phosphorus and zinc on potato yield (Solanum tuberosum L.). The experiment was conducted in the Kerman agricultural and natural resources research centre (Iran) by using a factorial design in randomized complete block in two independent experiments with three replications. In the first experiments compost with phosphorus and zinc were used, and in second experiment animal manure with phosphorus and zinc were used. The three levels of compost (0, 10 and 20 ton ha -1 ) and same level of animal manure were used as main. Four levels of phosphorus (0, 75, 150 and 225 kg ha -1 ) and two levels of zinc (0 and 50 kg ha -1 ) used as the sub factors. Results showed that the main factors of compost and animal manure application had no significant effect on any of the all evaluated traits in the experiments. Effect of zinc on number of small tubers was significant in the first experiment. The highest number of large tubers were found in 20 ton ha -1 compost + 225 kg ha -1 phosphorus + 50 kg ha -1 zinc in first experiment and 20 ton ha -1 animal manure + 75 kg ha -1 phosphorus + no zinc in second experiment. Tubers dry matter was significantly affected by the interaction effect of zinc and phosphorus, the maximum dry matter being obtained with the application of 225 kg ha -1 phosphorus +50 kg ha -1 zinc.

“…It is clear to mention that the highest reduction resulted from water stress were found at 2, 4, 6 ton for studied canola yield characters, respectively. About that, Observed from data application of 4.0 ton fed -1 compost increased the values of studied canola yield characters by about 2.71, 28.11, 9. The use of compost improves seed germination and dry matter production compared to the compost free treatments [8]. Increase in biological yield might be to due increased grain yield.…”

“…Application of manure in the soil, increased water holding capacity in soil, water use efficiency besides increasing soil fertility and crop growth [7]. The compost application into soil improved seed germination and the dry matter yield as compared to control treatments [8]. The application of compost combined with chemical fertilizers in the field enhance the ability to access the elements uptake and can be increased the yield production ability and soil fertility [9].…”

Field experiment were carried out at the Research and Production Station of the National Research Centre, Nubaria region, Behiera Governorate, Egypt during 2019/2020 to study the effects of compost and zinc foliar application on growth and yield production of canola under drought condition. The water stress treatments (75 and 40% water holding capacity, WHC) occupied the main plots and compost treatments at the rates (0, 2, 4 and 6 ton fed-1) were allocated at random in the sub-plots with the foliar application of zinc at a rate of 0, 50 and 100 ppm. Data noticed that increase compost rate associated with increasing the SPAD red and RWC under both irrigation treatments where 75%WHC scored the highest values than 40 %WHC. Results indicated that increasing compost rates was associated with increasing of canola characters plant height, number of branch, number of pods and 1000 seeds weight as well as, seed yield, biological yield as affected by compost and zinc application rates and their interaction under normal and stress treatments. Also, data illustrated that stress tolerance indices (SSI, STI, GMP, YI, YSI, MP, TOL and HM) of canola as affected by water stress and Compost application and Zinc sulphate. Data indicated that the highest values were attained after application compost at a rate of 6.0 ton fed-1 with a foliar spray ZnSO4 at a rate of 100 ppm. Results concluded that, application of compost and zinc is important for enhancing the growth parameter and seed production of canola under water stress condition.
