“…The fertilizer effects of both inorganic and organic fertilizer as well as their combination were significant on plant height, where the unfertilized treatment was shorter than other treatments. That is showing the fertilizers need in agricultural production [4,6,7]. Since the plant starting harvested in 90-100 dap, the measurement of products accumulated in 120dap as well as determining the survival productive plants.…”

North Sulawesi is Famous as spicy culinary in Indonesia, therefore hot chili become the most important vegetable commodity in this region. An experiment to observe the influence of compost and manure on hot chili production has been conducted at Pandu Experimental Station in January to September 2018. The treatments were designed into RCBD proceeded to the Least Significant Difference Test (LSD test). Six treatments were applied, Control, without fertilizer; Inorganic fertilizer; Compost; Manure; Compost +inorganic fertilizer and Manure + inorganic fertilizer. The main parameter tested is the fresh fruit weight shown that the best treatment obtained is the treatment compost+ inorganic fertilizer, the total fresh weight gotten within 8 months productive age is 742 gr per plant, followed by the Manure + inorganic 696 gr per plant, these significantly higher than other treatments. The compost treatments are relatively better than the commercial manure due to its well decomposition of compost compared to the commercial manure. Financially, the farming also is feasible where R/C Ratio were above 1.2. The R/C Ratio were 2.83; 2.42 and 1.41 respectively for treatment E, B and A.

“…Addition of quantum of FYM drives a sole factor for nutrient cycling and nutrient transformation in soil. Theses effective catalyst may induce the proper microbial growth and nutrient availability for plant growth by increasing the SOC [19,20]. Other plots which received recommended dose of nutrients such as T 2 to T 5 and T 7 plots are on par with each other and the lowest in control plot of 4.2 g kg -1 SOC in maize crop.…”

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of crop productivity and soil nutrient availability under continuous cropping and fertilization. A single nutrient application or omission of nutrient or mineral fertilizer alone can deteriorate the soil nutrient availability and yield in long run. The result revealed that soil pH and EC have not changed substantially even after the repeated application of fertilizers over five decades. The use of balanced fertilizers either alone or integrated with organic manure (FYM) has significantly increased the grain and straw yield of maize. The yield increment of maize was observed 13.9 percent higher than 100% NPK and 18.3 percent higher than without the addition of S (S free). Balanced fertilization can improve the soil nutrients (N, P, K & S) and soil organic carbon instead addition of FYM @ 10 t ha-1 could increase the SOC and soil nutrients in long run in a sustainable manner. Concerning nitrogen, single nutrient (N alone) plots received low available nutrients and yield also it’s deteriorated the soil nutrients over long period. A build-up of available soil P and S was observed due to its continuous addition through fertilizer but soil K has reduced because of intensive cropping and high-yielding cultivars. Hence, for sustainable roduction, application of a recommended dose of mineral fertilization (100% NPK) along with FYM @ 10 t ha-1 may be used to achieve a higher yield, stable nutrient balance and soil quality over decades.

“…Thus, the type of nutrient source, nutrient content in the soil, nutrient content in the crop/animal and these wastes relate to one another. [18] reported that the differences in yields and soil properties are explained by the nature of the organic waste products used. The use of modern inputs impacted the output values in terms of nutrient contents availability within crops/pastures that were later reflected in the farm wastes as baseline nutrients.…”

Smallholder farming is promoted for its environmental friendliness, assurance of food security sovereignty and conservation of indigenous knowledge. However, in actual practice, Smallholder farmers recycle farm plant waste to improve soil fertility. By so doing, they contribute to environmental pollution, emissions, and global warming. This situation is a Smallholder farmers' challenge worldwide. One of these challenges is the inability to find cheaper sources of plant nutrients. These sources of nutrients are associated with environmental pollution, such as the release of Methane. This study focused on farm wastes (bean trash, maize trash, banana trash, cattle slurry, goat slurry, and pig slurry) commonly produced by smallholder farmers in two farming systems of Masaka and Lyantonde Districts to explore the effects of composting and surface decomposition on nutrients contained in farm wastes by specifically: estimating baseline nutrient contents in farm wastes before disposal, determining the variation of nutrients of farm wastes managed by composting and surface decomposition and the potential source of major nutrients among selected farm wastes. Through carbon analysis, Calorimetric determination of Nitrogen and Phosphorus analysis using a block digester and UV-Visible spectrometer, Carbon, Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus were determined from bean trash, maize trash, banana trash, cattle slurry, goat slurry, and pig slurry. Results revealed that goat slurry, chicken waste, maize trash and pig slurry contained more and retained more P, K, C and N, respectively, as compared to other farm wastes. Significant volumes of N and P were retained in composted materials as compared to those managed by surface decomposition.

Abstract: Due to the growing population and consequent pressure of use, agricultural soils must maintain adequate levels of quantity and quality to produce food, fiber, and energy, without falling victim to a negative impact on their balance of nutrients, health, or their ability to function [...]
