“…According to Campbell [ 37 ], the critical concentration of Fe in wheat plants during the vegetative phase is 25 mg kg –1 , and the sufficiency concentration range for Fe in wheat flag leaves during the grain-filling stage is 30–200 mg kg –1 . In the present study, the Fe concentrations in the wheat straw during the maturity stage ranged from 210 to 406 mg kg –1 ( Table 6 ), which were similar to those found by Li et al [ 18 ] and Zhang et al [ 38 ]. Thus, our results and those of other studies indicate that organic fertilizer enhanced the concentration of Zn in wheat but decreased the concentration of Mn compared with the use of a chemical fertilizer [ 18 ].…”

“…Li et al [ 47 ] reported a positive balance of the macronutrients in the soil under manure treatment in the central northern region of China. Zhang et al [ 38 ] reported that the application of NPK alone resulted in micronutrient deficits, but not when the application of NPK was supplemented with manure. In the present study, the balance calculations for heavy metals showed that the application of compost increased the soil levels of Pb, Cd, and Cr ( Table 10 ).…”

The recycling of livestock manure in cropping systems is considered to enhance soil fertility and crop productivity. However, there have been no systematic long-term studies of the effects of manure application on soil and crop macro- and micro-nutrients, heavy metals, and crop yields in China, despite their great importance for sustainable crop production and food safety. Thus, we conducted field experiments in a typical cereal crop production area of the North China Plain to investigate the effects of compost manure application rates on wheat yield, as well as on the macro-/micro-nutrients and heavy metals contents of soil and wheat. We found that compost application increased the soil total N and the available K, Fe, Zn, and Mn concentrations, whereas the available P in soil was not affected, and the available Cu decreased. In general, compost application had no significant effects on the grain yield, biomass, and harvest index of winter wheat. However, during 2012 and 2013, the N concentration decreased by 9% and 18% in straw, and by 16% and 12% in grain, respectively. With compost application, the straw P concentration only increased in 2012 but the grain P generally increased, while the straw K concentration tended to decrease and the grain K concentration increased in 2013. Compost application generally increased the Fe and Zn concentrations in straw and grain, whereas the Cu and Mn concentrations decreased significantly compared with the control. The heavy metal concentrations increased at some compost application rates, but they were still within the safe range. The balances of the macro-and micro-nutrients indicated that the removal of nutrients by wheat was compensated for by the addition of compost, whereas the level of N decreased without the application of compost. The daily intake levels of micronutrients via the consumption of wheat grain were still lower than the recommended levels when sheep manure compost was applied, except for that of Mn.

“…Furthermore, applying a combination of organic and chemical fertilizers increases the content of middle- and micro-nutrients in soil and plant, promoting absorption of nutrients by crops and increasing grain yield. In contrast, applying chemical fertilizers alone showed the opposite effect (Zhang et al, 2015 ).…”

“…The content of middle- and micro-nutrients affect maize growth and development and the nutritional quality of the grain, which are closely associated with human health (Zhang et al, 2015 ; Wajid et al, 2020 ). This study found that both middle- and micro-nutrients in soil and grain showed a significant positive correlation with the OFSR and soil C fractions ( Figures 4A , B ), indicating that OFS treatments increased C fractions content and increased the content of some middle- and micro-nutrients.…”

Organic fertilizer substitution (OFS) is an effective strategy for reducing the chemical fertilizer usage; however, the effects of different OFS ratios (OFSRs) on maize yield, soil fertility, and heavy metal pollution risk are still unclear. Therefore, determining a suitable OFSR is important. Through the pot experiment, no fertilizer (CK) and organic fertilizer substituting 0% (CF, chemical fertilizer alone), 8% (OF8), 16% (OF16), and 24% (OF24) of the chemical N fertilizer were set to investigate the effects of different OFSRs on maize growth and yield, soil properties (available nutrients, carbon fractions, and carbon pool indices), and nutrients and heavy metals in grain and soil. The results showed that OF8, OF16, and OF24 improved soil fertility by increasing soil organic carbon (SOC, by 10.05–16.26%) and its fractions, most middle- and micro-nutrients content, and carbon pool management index (CPMI, by 17.45–30.31%) compared with CF, while improving grain nutritional quality. However, they increased heavy metals content in grain and soil and their Nemerow comprehensive pollution index (NCPI, by 4.06–16.56% in grain and 2.55–5.57% in soil) but did not cause pollution. Among them, throughout the growth period, only OF8 treatment increased soil available nitrogen (AN), phosphorus (AP), and potassium (AK) content by 3.04–11.15%, 7.11–8.05%, and 0.12–6.05%, respectively, compared with CF, which thus significantly promoted maize growth and increased yield (by 35.65%); the NCPI of grain and soil was however lower than that OF16 and OF24. In conclusion, substitution ratio of 8% was considered ideal for promoting maize growth, improving yield and soil fertility, with a low pollution risk. The results of this study would aid in guiding the scientific application of OFS technology to agricultural production, thereby contributing to resource utilization of organic waste and sustainable agricultural development.

“…Dhaliwal et al, (2011) reported distribution of total micronutrient fractions and their contribution towards availability and plant uptake of micronutrient under long term maize-wheat cropping sequence indicated residual micronutrients as the dominant proportion of total Zn and Cu. Zhang et al, (2008) observed the long term effect of manure application on micronutrients availability under rice-wheat and maize-wheat cropping systems. They reported that the DTPAextractable Zn and Cu availability was higher in maize-wheat cropping system as compared to rice-wheat cropping system.…”

to investigate the effect of manure and chemical fertilizers in rice (Oryza sativa L.) -wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system. The organic manure through bio gas slurry (BGS) @ 6 t ha -1 was incorporated along with nitrogen fertilizer (N @ 80 and 120 kg ha -1 ), phosphorus fertilizer (P @ 30 kg ha -1 ) and potassium fertilizer (K @ 30 kg ha -1 ) to the rice crop. The results of our study reported that the total Zn decreased with increase in soil depth, whereas the increased concentration of total Cu, Fe and Mn was observed at lower soil depths. Higher concentration of total Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn was also found in the treatments where organic manure (BGS) was added @ 6 t ha -1 along with N @ 80 kg ha -1 and K @ 30 kg ha -1 to the rice crop. The results of this study were of practical utility since application of manure and chemical fertilizers together increased total Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in the surface soil whereas, their concentrations decreased with depth.
