“…In addition, it also recorded 31%, 79%, and 34% yield increment over sole application of organic fertilizer at 2.5 t/ha, 5 t/ha, and 100 kg•NPS/ha (i.e., blanket dose), respectively. Abdou et al [36] reported that combined application of organic and inorganic nutrient sources resulted in synergistic effects and improved synchronization of nutrient release and uptake by plants leading to higher yields. In addition, mixing the organic nutrient sources with mineral fertilizer enhanced decomposition and mineralization [12,13] and consequently improved nutrient release and uptake leading to higher yield [12,22].…”

Despite the fact that mineral fertilizers are widely considered as a major option for addressing the crisis of nutrient depletion, their use among smallholder farmers is not adequate due to an escalating cost. Alternatively, nutrient-rich organic sources that are easily available to farmers are not widely promoted. Thus, this study was carried out in the research field of Wolaita Sodo University, Southern Ethiopia, to evaluate the effects of locally available organic nutrient sources and nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) sulfur (S) fertilizer (19N-46P2O5-7S) on the productivity and economic performance of common bean. The organic materials used were Croton (Croton macrostachyus) and Erythrina (Erythrina brucei) at 2 : 1 ratio, respectively. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments for organic fertilizer (OF) were 0, 2.5, and 5 t·ha−1 and for NPS fertilizer were 0, 50, 100, and 150 kg·ha−1. Chemical composition analysis of organic materials showed high nutrient content where the amount varied from 4.7%–5.2% N, 11.07–18.6 mg/kg P, and 2.12%–3.07% K. Results on agronomic parameters revealed that the leaf area index, grain weight, number of pods per plant, dry matter per plant, and grain yield of haricot bean were significantly affected by both main and combined effects of NPS and OF fertilizers. The grain yield under integrated application of 150 kg NPS/ha and 2.5 t·OF/ha (4.16 t/ha) was significantly higher than that obtained from unfertilized crop (1.01 t/ha) by 312%. Additionally, it resulted in 34%, 31%, and 79% yield increment over the blanket dose (100 kg·NPS·ha−1), 2.5 t/ha and 5 t/ha, respectively. It was also noted that resource-poor farmers, compared to unfertilized crop, can get grain yield superior by 130% and 214% using sole OF at 2.5 and 5 t·ha−1, respectively. Furthermore, the highest economic benefit (27, 179.5EtB) was recorded from 150 kg NPS/ha + 2.5 t·OF/ha. The finding suggested that locally available organic materials of plant origin alone/integrated with NPS fertilizer are helpful for increased yield of haricot bean.

“…The decrease in organic matter during composting is related to the microbial decomposition activity on the organic substrate (Abdou et al, 2016), which can be seen from the increase in temperature during composting where microorganisms consume carbon for energy.…”

“…The phosphate nutrient content in compost is determined by organic matter kind and variations in microbial activity. During the composting process, there has been a release of P nutrients from organic compounds present in composted organic matter (Abdou et al, 2016;Souley et al, 2020). The total phosphorus content on the compost pile would be increased during the composting period because this is due to the precipitation of phosphorus in solid form which cannot be easily dissolved and leached out (Tibu et al, 2019).…”

Non-dairy creamer sewage sludge (NDCSS) has high organic matter and nutrients for compost production but NDCSS has a problem for the composting process because it has high moisture and slurry form. Therefore, the composting process of NDCSS requires mixing of other organic materials such as solid compost biogas (SCB) and rice husk char (RHC). Therefore, this study aims to determine the chemical properties of compost from a mixture combination of NDCSS, SCB, and RHC, and to assess compost quality as organic fertilizer from a mixture combination of NDCSS, SCB, and RHC through growth and yield of bok choy mustard (Brassica rapa L). Experiments were carried out in greenhouses from March to September 2019. The research treatment consisted of 7 treatments mixture combination of NDCSS, SCB, and RHC for the composting process, and each treatment was repeated 4 times. The composting process is carried out by anaerobic or fermentation methods. The research layout was used as a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The NDCSS can produce compost with the highest N content, while the RHC will produce compost with the highest P. The mixture combination of NDCSS, SCB, RHC, and the mixture combination of SCB and RC will produce compost with the highest K content. Compost from NDCSS produces the best organic fertilizer because it is able to make the best biomass wet weight and dry weight of bok choy mustard biomass.

“…Mason et al (2014) ont fait la synthèse de résultats obtenus dans la région semi-aride de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. En effet, plusieurs options de gestion de la fertilité des sols basées, entre autres, sur la rotation culturale (Koulibaly et al, 2016), l'introduction des légumineuses dans les rotations (Bado et al, 2012), la gestion des résidus de cultures (Koulibaly et al, 2010 ;Ouattara et al, 2011 ;Abdou et al, 2016 ;Koulibaly et al, 2017), l'utilisation combinée des engrais et de la fumure organique (Koulibaly et al, 2015 ;Akanza et al, 2016) et les aménagements antiérosifs (Zougmoré, 2003), ont montré leur efficacité dans l'amélioration de la productivité des cultures et des sols.…”

La dégradation des sols cultivés constitue l'une des contraintes majeures limitant la productivité de l'agriculture en Afrique sub-saharienne. Cependant, dans une même zone climatique, ce sont surtout les pratiques agricoles qui vont déterminer le niveau de fertilité d'un sol donné. La présente étude, conduite en zone cotonnière à l'Ouest du Burkina Faso, avait pour objectif d'évaluer les effets des pratiques de fertilisation sur les caractéristiques chimiques d'un sol ferrugineux lessivé. Un échantillon de 22 champs a permis de caractériser les pratiques de fertilisation à l'aide d'enquêtes et de prélever l'horizon 0-20 cm du sol pour des analyses de laboratoire. Les principales pratiques de fertilisation identifiées sont les apports de fumier sur des portions des champs, les apports d'engrais sur les cultures de cotonnier et de maïs et la jachère. Les résultats ont montré que seules les apports organiques ont permis une amélioration significative au seuil de 5 % des teneurs en matières organiques, de la capacité d'échange cationique (CEC), de la somme de bases échangeables et du pH du sol. Il apparait donc que l'utilisation durable des sols dans la zone nécessite le renforcement de la fumure organique à travers le développement de nouveaux modèles de restitutions organiques.
