“…Variants 1 and 2, decreased by 5.00% compared with the control variant. Peltre et al (2015) showed similar results when using treated and untreated fertilizers of organic origin. Six et al (1999) also stressed the tillage method for decomposition of organic matter in the soil.…”

AbstractŠařec P., Novák P. (2017): Changes in soil properties due to the application of activators in conditions of very heavy soils. Res. Agr. Eng., 63 (Special Issue): S40-S45. This paper deals with verification of the effect of fermented manure (with and without Z'fix activators) and soil activators (PRP Sol) on a soil properties change. Their application should lead to a change in physical, physical-chemical and biological properties of soil, along with ecological material fixation, improved water retention and infiltration, reduction of soil susceptibility to water erosion and decreased soil tillage energy requirements. Field trial was established in Sloveč in Central Bohemia in the year 2014. The experiment was divided into several variants and was designed as multiannual. Z›fix activator was used as a biological transformation activator of manure. PRP Sol was used as a soil activator. In order to verify the effect, soil infiltration, cone index, bulk density and draft of tillage implement were measured. Measurements have shown a beneficial effect of the activators with regard to the decomposition of organic matter. Consequently, changes in soil properties and a reduction of draft at tillage operations developed. Finally, the effect should evolve gradually with a prolonged activator treatment.

“…In developed countries urban-waste compost has been applied to farmlands to improve soil properties (Peltre et al, 2015) and crop yield (Getahun et al, 2012b) without any negative effect on the surrounding soil or water bodies (Poulsen et al, 2013). However, no attention is paid to urban-waste compost in developing countries, despite a large amount of organic waste being produced in cities, and this has become a matter of global concern.…”

“…Extensive literature is available on the effect of urban-waste compost on soil properties (Peltre et al, 2015) and crop yield (Hargreaves et al 2008). Despite the beneficial effects of urban-waste compost, < 5% of urban waste is converted into compost (Mengistu, 2013).…”

“…Municipal-waste compost contains a high amount of organic matter, and incorporation in soil may therefore increase soil aggregate stability, reduce the draught force for soil tillage (Peltre et al, 2015), promote soil microbial activity and enhance soil chemical properties (Hargreaves et al, 2008). No adverse effects of the application of municipal waste compost on croplands have been reported (Poulsen et al, 2013).…”
