“…The highest values of available K were measured in the soil treated with NPK. In the experiment of Gil et al (2007), available K significantly increased in soil fertilized with compost plus mineral fertilizers, whereas its concentration did not change with mineral fertilization compared to the initial soil. Plant available potassium increased in the plots amended with compost and sewage sludge of the field experiment described by Odlare et al (2007).…”

“…The lowest yield of oat biomass was found in mineral NPK treatment again. Gil et al (2007) found that grain yield of maize after compost application did not decrease in relation to conventional fertilization. Available soil phosphorus content was decreasing during three years of studies (Figure 2).…”

“…The sludges, however, provided higher nutrient availability than the compost. Gil et al (2007) accomplished a comparison of the effect of compost plus mineral with conventional mineral fertilization. The available P concentration in soil significantly increased to the same extent with both treatments after one year.…”

A prerequisite to use organic fertilizers in a sustainable way is to quantify the amount of phosphorus and potassium available for plants that could be taken up by a crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate direct and subsequent influence of organic fertilizers addition (poultry manure and two types of composts) on the changes of bioavailability of phosphorus and potassium in soil and their accumulation in the aboveground oat biomass (Avena sativa L.) during three years. The available phosphorus and potassium contents in soil had a degressive trend during the years of experiment. The lowest contents of these elements in soil were found in all treatments in the last year of the experiment. The plants took up the least P and K after application of compost derived from predominant sewage sludge portion. A stronger correlation (R = 0.88; P < 0.05) was found between available content of K in soil treated with organic fertilizers and K content in the aboveground biomass of oat than in the case of P (R = 0.45; P < 0.05).

“…Ben Achiba et al (2010) reported that the addition of the two organic amendments, municipal solid waste compost compared to farmyard manure, significantly increased the organic carbon of Tunisian calcareous soil. In addition, increasing the soil organic matter content improves the soil physical properties, such as structure and porosity, water retention and movement, and favors the establishment of carbon cycling (Gil et al 2008). Recently, Montemurro et al (2015) reported that different organic amendments from agro-industrial wastes improved soils and organic lettuce crops.…”

Purpose Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the predominant fruit trees grown in oases ecosystems (Southern Mediterranean regions) and produces several wastes during practicing cultivation since fruit and bunch thinning is frequently applied. Yet, the valorization of date palm wastes as bioresources has received little attention. The main objective for the present research is to assess palm trees compost (P-compost) as organic fertilizer for alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Methods The experiment was carried out in an experimental field involving four replicates and three soil amendment treatments (1) control, conventional mineral fertilizer diammonium phosphate, (2) 30 t ha -1 of cow manure, and (3) 30 t ha -1 of palm tree compost (P-compost). Plots were planted on with alfalfa and the measurements of studied traits (growth, yield, seed yield and minerals uptake) were determined for two crop seasons (2010 and 2011). Results Compared with untreated soil, the palm compost application at 30 t ha -1 improved significantly both organic matter and water retention capacity of the soil and decreased the electrical conductivity (-70%).Furthermore, palm compost supply significantly increased fresh biomass production of alfalfa by 21 and 28%, respectively, during the first and second seasons. Also, it enhanced the grain yield and growth rate (stem length and leafs expansion) of this species. At the first crop season, the palm compost application had a positive impact on minerals nutrition compared to the control treatment, with improving rates of ? 32% for phosphorus, ? 25% for potassium and ? 6% for nitrogen. In addition, these contents were higher than in plants grown under cow manure amendment. However, at the second season, the palm compost improved only P and N contents. Conclusions This preliminary finding suggests that palm compost at moderate dose (30 t ha -1 ) could be highly beneficial for forage plant yield.

“…2 and 3 were in the range of 20.7 to 33.4 cmol c kg −1 (Tables 2 and 3) and the variability was probably caused by CMC application. It is noted that application of organic fertilizers made from cattle excretion, such as compost, increases the CEC of soil (During and Weeda 1973;Ito et al 1982;Yamada and Kamata 1989;Gil et al 2008). Therefore, we set up the diagnostic criteria of soil Ex-K content with no distinction between the soil types on the assumption of positive CMC use.…”
