Impact of Animal Manure on Soil Chemistry, Mineral Nutrients, Yield, and Fruit Quality in ‘Golden Delicious’ Apple

Abstract: Incorporating deep litter cow and deep litter poultry manures with the top 30-cm soil improved orchard soil chemistry, including nutrient availability, soil organic matter, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and biological activity in a 'Golden Delicious' apple (Malus domestica Bork) orchard in Zanjan, Iran. Application of deep litter cow manure at 30 t ha −1 or deep litter poultry manure at 10 t ha −1 resulted in a higher rate of nitrogen (N) release, and thus increased yield and… Show more

“…The wood chips GMS treatment resulted in a season-to-season remaining detritus under the tree, which may over a longer time period contribute to increased SOM. Other studies have also demonstrated greater SOM under organic GMS than under conventional orchard management (Amiri and Fallahi, 2008;Glover et al, 2000;Reganold et al, 2001). Differences between this study and previous studies may be the result of the hot humid conditions of the test site resulting in greater organic matter turnover than in other sites reporting contradictory results.…”

“…Similarly, soil amendment with combined biochar and compost under replant conditions did not improve the number of fruit, average fruit weight or fruit yield efficacy in a 4‐year experiment . On the other hand, application of 10 Mg ha −1 ordinary manure (without any biochar treatment) improved the fruit yield and quality of ‘Golden Delicous’ apples planted in a sandy soil with low carbon content . Hence the unaffected fruit yield of apple trees in this study, which rejected the hypothesis that organic amendment may improve the fruit yield of replanted apple trees, could be partly associated with low instant improvement in bioavailability of nutrients after organic amendment in soil due to the near‐neutral pH of tested soil (6.4) .…”

“…The pH values of all CF plots were higher than those of ZG, which indicated that chicken manure could increase soil pH. This result was in agreement with other studies, which addressed the effect of chicken manure on soil acidity (Amiri & Fallahi, 2009;Materechera & Mkhabela, 2002). Several mechanisms influence this process: (1) the high CaCO 3 content of chicken manure neutralizes soil acidity (Cooper & Warman, 1997); (2) hydroxyl groups on Al and Fe hydrous oxides and the low molecular weight organic acidic/humic substances produced during the decomposition of manure exchange acidity of the soil (Hue & Amien, 1989); and (3) much of the N in chicken manure is in the form of ammonia, and during decomposition, ammonification releases OH-ions (Haynes and Mokolobate, 2001).…”
