“…Similar results have been reported in several studies where they showed digestate affected wheat growth and yield differently compared with raw manure (Abubaker et al, 2012;Adelekan et al, 2010;Šimon et al, 2015). The application of DCM and DPM with and without combination with urea increased crop biomass yield in comparison with application of sole manure.…”

Digesting animal manure anaerobically before applying it as fertilizer may be affected crop production differently compared to non-digested, particularly in desert soils. A pot experiment was carried out to evaluate three nondigested dry matter (NDM) and digested dry matter (DM) farmyard manures (cattle, poultry, and sheep) and their combinations with urea on the wheat crop cultivated in desert soil. Fertilizers were applied at rates corresponding to 50, 150, and 250 kg total nitrogen ha −1. During the growing period, seed germination percentage (SGP), plant height, plant tillering percentage (PTP), and deficiency symptoms were assessed. Furthermore, total biomass yield and relative yields of ear, straw, and root fractions were measured at harvest. Results showed that high application of DM reduced SGP significantly (P < 0.05), especially at the combination with urea. PTP was higher in non-digested manure treatments of sheep and poultry than DM, and also higher in digested cattle manure treatments than NDM, while it was zero in all urea treatments and control. Deficiency symptoms were seen in the treatments of low application rate as well as in all urea treatments and control. Plant height and biomass yield generally increased in NDM and DM treatments compared with urea treatments and the control. Beneficial of DM was seen in cattle and poultry manure (PM) treatments where they significantly (P < 0.05) yielded higher root, ears, and total biomass compared to NDM. However, non-digested sheep and PM yielded higher straw biomass than DM. The combination of non-digested and digested manure with urea gave the maximum biomass yield, especially in combination with digested PM.

“…Table reports the soil TKN values detected during incubation for the different treatments. The TKN content was subject to minimal variation caused by ammonia volatilization or denitrification processes ( Šimon et al, ). More interesting was the evolution of the different chemical forms of nitrogen, in particular N‐NH 4 and N‐NO 3 during incubation (Tab.…”

This paper evaluated, in a laboratory incubated soil, the properties of digestate as a nitrogen fertilizer in comparison with sewage sludge, compost and urea, this last as a typical mineral fertilizer. The incubation period lasted for 90 d and during this time, pH, CO 2 and NO À 3 evolution were measured. The maximum concentration of nitrate was reached in the incubated microcosm fertilized by urea (133 mg kg -1 after 62 d), and that of digestate was very similar (113 mg kg -1 ). Soil treated with compost showed a slower nitrate evolution. A significantly negative correlation was detected between cumulative nitrogen nitrified at the end of the trial, and the values of the C:N ratio of the biomasses used (compost, sludge and digestate) (mg kg -1 N-NO À 3 vs. C:N, r = -0.94, n = 3, p < 0.05), and between the alkyl-C content at the end of the experiment (mg kg -1 N-NO À 3 vs. alkyl-C, r = -0.95, n = 3, p < 0.05). As expected, pH decreases and soil respiration (CO 2 evolution) were also well correlated with the content of nitrate. Considering that about 90% of the nitrogen content in the digestate is short acting, the results obtained indicate that the nitrogen rate of mineralization in digestate is very similar to that of urea, confirming that digestate could replace traditional mineral fertilizers.

“…In relation to its undigested counterpart, digestate application is found to be better in terms of crop yield mainly because of improved N nutrition of the crops [18,19]. In a comparative assessment of digestate, cattle manure, and mineral fertilization for winter wheat, Simon et al [20] reported significant increase in grain yield with the trend as follows; digestate > chemical fertilizer > cattle manure > control. However, digestate with high biodegradable fraction may not be suitable for agricultural use as they might lead to N-immobilization [21,22].…”

Recycling of nutrients through soil application of bioenergy by‐products (BEBPs) promotes closing of nutrient cycle as well as solves issues related to their improper management. Present investigation reports experimental data on soil fertility, crop growth (rapeseed), and crop nutrition from application of 15 fertilization treatments comprising of 13 BEBPs treatments, NPK and control. The selected by‐products are three types of digestates from anaerobic digestion namely, (i) cowdung, (ii) co‐digested Ipomoea carnea leaves:cowdung (60:40 dry weight), (iii) co‐digested rice straw:green gram stover:cowdung (30:30:40 dry weight) and one char (Rice husk) from gasification system. Fertilizer potential of digestates are assessed in four application phases namely, whole, separated solid, separated liquid, and ash from solid digestates. Significant variations in soil parameters (pH, EC, soil organic carbon, soil available N, P, and K, soil micronutrients) and crop responses were seen with respect to both feedstock type and application phases. BEBP application particularly in solid and whole phase proved significantly better in improving soil organic carbon. Addition of BEBP resulted in increased aboveground productivity, crop yield, plant NPK concentration compared with BEBP unfertilized condition. Overall, the improvement in grain yield over BEBP untreated control can be related to improvement in soil fertility (available fraction of N, P, and K), organic carbon, pH as well as crop physical growth. This study demonstrated that, due to differential partitioning of nutrients, a differentiated planning of BEBP applications, governed by the nature of feedstock and phase of applications would be required. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13099, 2019
