“…These results agree with those obtained by Abd-Elmoniem et al, (2001) who found that the treatments (chicken, pigeon, inorganic fertilizer and their mixture) had no significant effect on chlorophyll content with the exception of pigeon + inorganic treatment that was significantly decreased compared to the control treatment (inorganic fertilizer).…”

“…The mineral-organic fertilizers increased the P content in spinach (Suchorska, 1996).

“…Nitrogen uptake by spinach was higher with addition organic compost than with chemical fertilizer (Kutuk et al, 1999;Matsumoto et al, 1999;Maruo et al, 2002;Maftoun et al, 2004 andKodashima et al,2006).Spinach plants supplied with animals waste composts contained more K than if grown with conventional chemical fertilizers ( Kutuk et al, 1999 andChishaki et al, 2000). Meanwhile, pigeon + chicken + inorganic fertilizers treatment resulted in the highest levels of K content (Abd-Elmoniem et al, 2001). In this respect, many investigators reported that, microorganisms, which were used as biofertilizers, induced simulation effect on plant growth and production by fixing atmospheric nitrogen.…”

Two field experiments were carried out on spinach (Spinasia oleracea L.) plants cv. Baladi to study the effects of 4 tones / fed. of poultry manure or recommended chemical fertilizers [250 kg/fed. ammonium sulphate (20.5%N)+ 200 kg/fed. calcium super phosphate (15.5%P2O5)+ 75kg /fed. potassium sulphate (84.5%K2O) at the rates of full dose, ½ dose or 1/4 dose for each. Seeds were uninoculated or inoculated with plant growthpromoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) which included Azotobacter chroococcum, phosphate dissolving bacteria Bacillus megaterium, potassium release bacteria Bacillus cerculans and Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Moreover, plants were sprayed with water or foliar biostimulant (Setter-2) which containing ascorbic, citric acids N, Cu, Ca, B and Mn twice after 15 and 25 days of planting on plant growth and yield .Spinach plants received the pervious treatments in combination or single as well as evaluate phytohormone biosynthesis, cyanogens (HCN) and siderophores production and phosphate solubilization in some bacterial strains to be used as a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).The results indicated that using ½ dose of poultry manure + PGPR + spraying with setter-2 led to the highest plant weight in both seasons and plant length in the second season as well as leaves number/plant and total yield/fed. in the first season. Meanwhile, ½ dose of poultry manure + ½ dose of chemical fertilizer + spraying with setter-2 resulted in the highest leaves number / plant and total yield/fed. in the second season as well as dry matter percentage of leaves in both seasons. Concerning chemical components in spinach planting , applying ½ dose of poultry manure + PGPR + spraying with setter-2 caused the highest N% and total sugars concentration in the leaves in both seasons .The highest P and K % were obtained with supplying ¾ NPK + PGPR + spraying stter-2 in both seasons and second season, respectively. ½ dose of poultry manure + PGPR caused the highest K% in the first season. On the other hand, the highest total soluble phenol and total free amino acids recorded due to use ½ dose of poultry manure + ½ dose of recommended NPK and full dose of poultry manure respectively, in both seasons. Nitrate concentrationwere the highest in plants received recommended chemical fertilizers while plants received PGPR followed by poultry manure caused the lowest values in both seasons. Chlorophyll concentration in leaves not significantly affected by the type of fertilization in both seasons. There were differences between rhizobacteria strains in its ability to production phytohormone biosynthesis, cyanogens (HCN) and siderophores production and phosphate solubilization.

“…Fertilizers from organic origin (animal and even human sources) 536 represent a resource to grow plants and aligns well with the principle of circular economics 537 promoted in this review. Research in economically developing countries already highlights the potential of exploiting animal manures in hydroponics for plant growth (Abd-Elmoniem et al, 2001;Capulín-Grande et al, 2000). Further, human urine may be exploitable as a plant 540 fertilizer (Andersen, 2007;Andersson, 2015;Chrispim et al, 2017;Mnkeni et al, 2008).…”

Can the optimisation of pop-up agriculture in remote communities help feed the world?

Threats to global food security have generated the need for novel food production techniques 3 to feed an ever-expanding population with ever-declining land resources. Hydroponic 4 cultivation has been long recognised as a reliable, resilient and resource-use-efficient 5 alternative to soil-based agricultural practices. The aspiration for highly efficient systems and 6 even city-based vertical farms is starting to become realised using innovations such as 7 aeroponics and LED lighting technology. However, the ultimate challenge for any crop 8 production system is to be able to operate and help sustain human life in remote and extreme 9 locations, including the polar regions on Earth, and in space. Here we explore past research 10 and crop growth in such remote areas, and the scope to improve on the systems used in 11 these areas to date. We introduce biointensive agricultural systems and 3D growing 12 environments, intercropping in hydroponics and the production of multiple crops from single 13 growth systems. To reflect the flexibility and adaptability of these approaches to different 14 environments we have called this type of enclosed system 'pop-up agriculture'. The vision 15 here is built on sustainability, maximising yield from the smallest growing footprint, adopting 16 the principles of a circular economy, using local resources and eliminating waste. We explore 17 plant companions in intercropping systems to supply a diversity of plant foods. We argue 18 that it is time to consume all edible components of plants grown, highlighting that nutritious plant parts are often wasted that could provide vitamins and antioxidants. Supporting human 20 life via crop production in remote and isolated communities necessitates new levels of 21 efficiency, eliminating waste, minimising environmental impacts and trying to wean away 22 from our dependence on fossil fuels. This aligns well with tandem research emerging from 23 economically developing countries where lower technology hydroponic approaches are 24 being trialled reinforcing the need for 'cross-pollination' of ideas and research development 25 on pop-up agriculture that will see benefits across a range of environments. 27 1. Introduction 28 An expanding global population is the root cause of fundamental environmental 29 challenges faced today. Global population estimates predict a 35% increase from 7.3 billion 30 to 11.2 billion by 2100 (UNDESA, 2014). With increases in population come amplified 31 anthropogenic pressures on the environment (Harte, 2007), increased pollution (Cole and 32 Neumayer, 2004) and reduced per capita land and resource availability (Sheikh, 2006; 33 Vörösmarty et al., 2000). The cumulative impact of these issues is likely to negatively affect 34 the sustainability of global resources and in turn the longevity of the human population. 35 By 2050 it is estimated that 66% of the global population will live in urban regions 36 (UNDESA, 2014). In the UK, the Office for National Statistics documented an 8.1% increase 37 in urban populations b...

Recently, urban agriculture has spread rapidly in occidental cities taking the form of plant cultivation on the rooftops of urban buildings. In this context, it would be interesting to use a natural fertilizer present in cities like the pigeon (Columba livia) guano. In this study, we tested the effects of pigeon guano on the cherry tomato plant in an urban environment. On a rooftop at Ivry‐sur‐Seine (near Paris, France), we set up 30 cultivation bags (58.9 L volume) with two cherry tomato plants in each bag. In June 2017, we added about 15 g of pigeon guano in 1.5 L of water to each of the 15 “guano” bags and 1.5 L of water to each of the 15 “control” bags. After 15 days, we observed that the tomato plants were higher and tend to have more flowers in the guano treatment than in the control group. Finally, regarding the total number of cherry tomatoes harvested (total mass and number), it was around one to two times higher in the guano treatment than in the control. However, the average mass per fruit was not affected by the treatment. Overall, we showed that pigeon guano is an efficient local fertilizer for cherry tomato plants in urban areas.
