“…As presented in Table 1, the bulk density of the CPRR soil (1.01 g cm -3 ) was significantly decreased when compared with the CK soil (1.68 g cm -3 ). This result confirmed that the return of residue as compost decreased the bulk density of the soil (Edwards et al, 2000;Abdelhamid et al, 2004;Evanylo et al, 2008).…”

“…Due to the cellulose in plant residue, returning this material as compost decreases the bulk density, promotes the formation of soil aggregate structure, and increases the efficiency of water in soil (Edwards et al, 2000;Tejada and Gonzalez, 2003). There were certain amount of carbohydrate, N, P, K, and other nutrients in residues, the compost applied to soil was transferred to organic matter and enhanced the soil fertility level (Zayed and Abdel-Motaalet, 2005;Benito et al, 2006;Ribeiro et al, 2007;Roca-Pérez et al, 2009).…”

Abstract:A field experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of composted pineapple residue return (CPRR) on soil bio-chemical properties and the growth performance of next-cropped pineapple plants. The results suggested that CPRR markedly decreased the soil bulk density and increased the contents of available P and K. CPRR significantly increased the abundance of bacteria and actinomycetes, and the activities of catalase, acid phosphatase and invertase in the soil were notably heightened. Growth characteristics, including the plant height, length of leaves and roots, leaf width, number of leaves and fresh weight of the aboveground and belowground parts were significantly increased by CPRR. The contents of chlorophyll, soluble sugars, and soluble protein, as well root vigor were also markedly increased. CPRR also increased the fruit transverse and longitudinal diameters, weight and yield of next-cropped pineapple.

“…This is a direct effect of the straw and other organic fibers that reduced raindrop impact on the soil, delayed runoff initiation and increased infiltration. These findings were also confirmed by Döring et al (2005) and Edwards et al (2000) in straw-mulched potato-cropped soils, García Moreno et al (2013) in straw-mulched fruit orchards, Jordán et al (2010) in strawmulched fallow soils, and Cerdà et al (2015) in persimmon plantations.…”

A B S T R A C TThe objective of this study was to determine the effects of the application of different doses of compost made with sludge and organic residues from plants on some soil characteristics, growth and yield of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) grown in Moroccan soil having low organic matter. A field experiment was conducted and complete randomized block with four replicates was designed. Treatments consisted of control without any organic amendment and three concentrations of compost (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 t haG 1 ). Results showed that, in general, application of at least 5 t haG 1 of compost increased soil organic matter along with C rates and other mineral nutrients such as N, P and K. Application of 5 t haG 1 of compost significantly increased sugar beet biomass and recoverable sugar yield. This beneficial effect was reversed with the highest dose of 7.5 t haG 1 .
