“…This finding is in agreement with other studies, where they showed fertilization with PM gave higher crop yield compared with CM (Detpiratmongkol et al, 2014;Ghosh et al, 2004;Kidinda et al, 2015). The better performance of PM in supporting wheat crop maybe is related to its low C/N ratio (i.e.…”

“…In this study, application of NDM and DM increased plant height significantly compared with urea treatment, which is in agreement with the other studies where organic fertilizer showed better plant growth and yield compared to mineral fertilizer (Abubaker et al, 2012;Kidinda et al, 2015). Furthermore, the results clearly reveal that plant height was affected significantly by nitrogen source, as shown from the height recorded in the treatment of DCM where it produced taller plant than non-digested.…”

“…However, when combining urea with non-digested or digested manure crop biomass yield has increased significantly compared with application of sole urea or manure. The benefit of combining manures with mineral fertilizer has been reported in several studies where they confirmed this strategy yielded higher wheat biomass (Islam et al, 2014;Kearney et al, 2012;Kidinda et al, 2015). Because nutrient in mineral fertilizer will be available for the crop at application, while the organically bound nutrients in the manure would be released slowly, benefitting the crop during growing period.…”

Digesting animal manure anaerobically before applying it as fertilizer may be affected crop production differently compared to non-digested, particularly in desert soils. A pot experiment was carried out to evaluate three nondigested dry matter (NDM) and digested dry matter (DM) farmyard manures (cattle, poultry, and sheep) and their combinations with urea on the wheat crop cultivated in desert soil. Fertilizers were applied at rates corresponding to 50, 150, and 250 kg total nitrogen ha −1. During the growing period, seed germination percentage (SGP), plant height, plant tillering percentage (PTP), and deficiency symptoms were assessed. Furthermore, total biomass yield and relative yields of ear, straw, and root fractions were measured at harvest. Results showed that high application of DM reduced SGP significantly (P < 0.05), especially at the combination with urea. PTP was higher in non-digested manure treatments of sheep and poultry than DM, and also higher in digested cattle manure treatments than NDM, while it was zero in all urea treatments and control. Deficiency symptoms were seen in the treatments of low application rate as well as in all urea treatments and control. Plant height and biomass yield generally increased in NDM and DM treatments compared with urea treatments and the control. Beneficial of DM was seen in cattle and poultry manure (PM) treatments where they significantly (P < 0.05) yielded higher root, ears, and total biomass compared to NDM. However, non-digested sheep and PM yielded higher straw biomass than DM. The combination of non-digested and digested manure with urea gave the maximum biomass yield, especially in combination with digested PM.

Fertilizing by using chicken manure as an organic amendment is a complementary to improve chemical fertilizer efficiency. This study was conducted in Glasshouse & Nursery Complex of IIUM with the objectives of evaluating different rates of chicken manure application on soil properties, leaf nutrients and the growth response of fig trees for early growth effects. The soils were amended with 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 50% of chicken manure on three months old saplings of cultivar BTM6 in five replications were used to observe the effects. The experiment was observed for three months. The nutrient content in T1 and treated soil showed a significant difference at p < 0.05. The T5 had the highest content of nutrients compared to other treatments. However, the leaf nutrient contents did not show any significant difference among all treatments. Survivability of the trees were 100% with T2 showed a superlative growth response with the high number of branches, leaves and fruits thus provide high yield production as compared to other treatments (p<0.05). The results clarified that application of chicken manure improved soil properties and promote growth response of fig trees in tropical environment.

“…An alternative way to improve the physical and biological properties of soil and consequently to increase crop yields is to use organic fertilizers (alone or in combination with mineral fertilizers), such as animal litter, green manure or compost (Melkamu, 2012). The efficacy of organic fertilizers for improving maize growth, grain and dry matter yields, and/or harvest index has previously been demonstrated (Ademba et al, 2014(Ademba et al, , 2015Kidinda et al, 2015;Martins et al, 2017;Baghdadi et al, 2018).…”

Response of the Bacterial Communities Associated With Maize Rhizosphere to Poultry Litter as an Organomineral Fertilizer

Maize is an important food source worldwide and is of considerable industrial importance. Low maize yields are mostly due to low soil fertility, so expensive mineral fertilizers are often used to offset the lack of nutrients. Poultry litter (PL) is one of the most valuable and phosphorous-rich animal wastes. However, PL usually contains veterinary antibiotic residues, particularly fluoroquinolones (FQs), which may alter soil microorganism diversity and resistance patterns. In this study, we aimed to understand the impact of applying mineral (triple superphosphate-STP) or organomineral (STP with PL and reactive Bayovar phosphate with PL) fertilizers (130 or 260 kg/ha of total P 2 O 5) on the structure and composition of the soil bacteriome and on phosphate-mineralizing bacteria associated with the maize rhizosphere. Maize plants were sampled at 60 and 90 days after sowing and a clear rhizosphere effect was observed in all samples. No specific groups of bacterial genera predominated (>3% relative abundance) according to the different fertilizer treatments and most of the genera were shared among samples. Multivariate analyses of 16S rRNA sequences revealed clear clustering based on sampling time and distinct separation from bulk soil samples. Abundances of phosphate-mineralizing bacteria varied depending on the sampling time. We observed a positive effect on phytase activity under the 260 kg STP with PL treatment. Although the FQ enrofloxacin and its main metabolite ciprofloxacin were detected in PL, their concentrations in fertilized soils were below quantification thresholds. Quinolone resistance genes were not detected in the maize rhizosphere or bulk soil. Together, these results suggest that the rhizosphere effect, plant age and applied amounts of fertilizer are more influential on bacterial communities than the type of fertilizer used. Thus, application of PL as an organomineral fertilizer does not appear to have extensive impacts on the bacterial diversity of maize rhizosphere, so it could be an excellent option for enhancing maize production.
