“…Incorporation of compost into soil improves the microbiological and biochemical soil properties (Wyszkowska and Wyszkowski 2006, 2010), availability of plant accessible forms of elements in soil (Eghball et al 2002; Wyszkowski and Ziółkowska 2009b; Wyszkowski and Sivitskaya 2012, 2013), which encourages better yields (Wyszkowski and Wyszkowska 2006; Wyszkowski and Ziółkowska 2011) and improves chemical composition of plants (Wyszkowski and Ziółkowska 2009a, b). In response to soil enrichment with compost or compost earth, increased content of nitrogen has been observed in organs of many plant species, for example in triticale grain and straw (Ciećko et al 2001), roots of yellow lupine and phacelia (Ciećko et al 2004) and in aerial parts of oats (Wyszkowski and Ziółkowska 2009b), spring barley (Wyszkowski and Radziemska 2010), maize (Wyszkowski and Radziemska 2010) and spring rape (Wyszkowski and Ziółkowska 2009b), unlike yellow lupine (Wyszkowski and Ziółkowska 2011), or radish (Ciećko et al 2004).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soil contamination with tri- and hexavalent chromium and soil application of compost, zeolite, and CaO on the mass of oats and content of nitrogen compounds in different organs of oats. The oats mass and content of nitrogen compounds in the crop depended on the type and dose of chromium and alleviating substances incorporated to soil. In the series without neutralizing substances, Cr(VI), unlike Cr(III), had a negative effect on the growth and development of oats. The highest doses of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) stimulated the accumulation of total nitrogen but depressed the content of N-NO3− in most of organs of oats. Among the substances added to soil in order to alleviate the negative impact of Cr (VI) on the mass of plants, compost had a particularly beneficial effect on the growth and development of oats. The application of compost, zeolite, and CaO to soil had a stronger effect on the content of nitrogen compounds in grain and straw than in roots. Soil enrichment with either of the above substances usually raised the content of nitrogen compounds in oats grain and straw, but decreased it in roots.

“…Soil enrichment with compost, bentonite, and lime is likely to positively affect the enzymatic activity of soil. Wyszkowska and Wyszkowski (2006) demonstrated that the addition of compost, bentonite, and calcium oxide to soil stimulated the activities of URE and ALP as well as the nitrifying activity of soil. The positive effect of high doses of compost on the activity of URE and ALP in soil was also found in studies by Moreno et al (1998) and Hu and Cao (2007).…”

This study was undertaken to (1) determine the effects of petroleum pollution on changes in the biochemical properties of soil and (2) demonstrate whether the application of compost, bentonite, and calcium oxide is likely to restore biological balance. Petroleum soil pollution at a dose ranging from 2.5 to 10 cm(3)/kg disturbed the biochemical balance as evidenced by inhibition of the activities of soil dehydrogenases (SDH), urease (URE), and acid phosphatase (ACP). The greatest change was noted in the activity of SDH, whereas the least change occurred in URE. Petroleum significantly increased the activity of soil alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in soil used for spring rape, whereas in soil used for oat harvest there was decreased ALP activity. The application of compost, bentonite, and calcium oxide to soil proved effective in mitigating the adverse effects of petroleum on the activities of soil enzymes. Soil enrichment with compost, bentonite, and calcium oxide was found to stimulate the activities of URE and ALP and inhibit the activity of ACP. The influence of bentonite and calcium oxide was greater than that of compost. Calcium oxide and, to a lesser extent, compost were found to increase the activity of SDH, whereas bentonite exerted the opposite effect, especially in the case of the main crop, spring rape. The activities of SDH, URE, and ACP were higher in soil used for rape than that for oats. In contrast the activity of ALP was higher in soil used for oats. Data thus indicate that compost and especially bentonite and calcium oxide exerted a positive effect on activities of some enzymes in soil polluted with petroleum. Application of neutralizing additives to soil restored soil biological balance by counteracting the negative influence of petroleum on activities of URE and ALP.

“…Their authors try to use various substances as stimulants for the indigenous microorganisms. The proposed solutions include the application of compost (Mehta et al 2014 ; Wyszkowska and Wyszkowski 2006 ; Wyszkowski and Ziółkowska 2013 ), urea (Komilis et al 2009 ; Wyszkowska et al 2006 ), finely ground straw, sawdust (Wyszkowska et al 2002 ), biological preparations (Galiulin and Galiulina 2015 ) and whey (Jonsson and Östberg 2011 ). In a study by Galiulin and Galiulina ( 2015 ), biocompost and biopreparations enabled almost complete degradation of hydrocarbons from crude oil and gas condensate.…”

The aim of the research was to compare the effects of various petroleum products, biodiesel, diesel oil, fuel oil and unleaded petrol on soil dehydrogenases, and to evaluate biostimulation with compost and urea in the restoration of homeostasis of the soil contaminated with these products. The obtained results allowed for defining the weight of dehydrogenases in monitoring of the environment subjected to pressure from petroleum hydrocarbons. The studies were carried out under laboratory conditions for 180 days, and loamy sand was the soil formation used in the experiment. The petroleum products were used in the following amounts: 0, 2, 4, 8 and 16 g kg−1 DM of soil. Indices of the influence of the petroleum product and the stimulating substance on the activity of dehydrogenases were calculated. It was proved that the petroleum products affect soil dehydrogenases in various ways. Biodiesel, diesel oil and fuel oil stimulate these enzymes, while petrol acts as an inhibitor. Among the substances tested regarding biostimulation of soils contaminated with petroleum products, compost is definitely more useful than urea, and therefore, the former should be used for the remediation of such soils. Stimulation of dehydrogenases by compost, both in contaminated and non-contaminated soils, proves that it may accelerate microbiological degradation of petroleum-derived contaminants.
