“…The TN content in the treatments under organic fertilizer application was significantly higher than that under chemical application, while the AP and AK contents of DIOF were significantly lower than that of DIMF. It was mainly because that the available nutrients in mineral fertilizer was higher, while organic fertilizers mainly provided organic nutrients with a relatively low mineralization rate which may accumulate in the soil for a long period of time; this result was similar to many studies (Abdelhafez, Abbas, Attia, Bably, & Mahrous, ; Martínez et al., ). Additionally, this experiment was designed based on the input of nitrogen balance, but the input of P and K in mineral fertilizer were higher than that of organic fertilizer.…”

Irrigation and fertilization management are important for controlling agricultural soil salinity and increasing productivity in extremely arid regions. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of long‐term drip irrigation and organic fertilizer application on soil salinity, fruit quality and yield of jujube [Ziziphus ziziphus (L.) Karst]. We established a 7‐yr field experiment in a desert‐oasis area in Northwest China. Six treatments were performed: CK (conventional irrigation, no fertilizer), CIMF (conventional irrigation, mineral fertilizer), CIOF (conventional irrigation, organic fertilizer), DI (drip irrigation, no fertilizer), DIMF (drip irrigation, mineral fertilizer), and DIOF (drip irrigation, organic fertilizer). The results showed that soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration in soil treated with organic fertilizer increased gradually over years. Treatment DIOF favored the accumulation of SOC with the highest content and stock after 7 yr. Lower salt content in root zone was found in DIOF after 7 yr. The yield of DIOF increased annually and reached an equilibrium level after the fourth year (14.88 to 16.69 Mg ha−1). Total carbohydrate and vitamin C (Vc) of DIOF of fruit were all significantly higher than CIOF and DIMF. The boosted regression tree showed that SOC content had the highest relative contribution rate to jujube yield. Path analysis identified the most important factor affecting SOC in the drip‐fertigation system was the input of organic fertilizer, with path coefficient 0.65. Long‐term combination of drip irrigation and organic fertilizer application would be an effective strategy maintaining productivity and improve fruit quality in extremely arid areas.

“…Liquid and solid animal manures have different chemical and biochemical compositions. Pig and cattle slurry typically have low carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio, low lignin content, and high levels of cellulose, which contribute to rapid mineralization of these manures (Vanlauwe et al 2011;Martínez et al 2017a). On the other hand, pig deep-litter has high C:N ratio, high lignin contents, and high cellulose contents, which make up more recalcitrant organic compounds (Sommer et al 2013) and results in slower mineralization of these organic materials.…”

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of long-term organic and mineral fertilization on soil solution dynamics of nitrogen (N), as well as to understand its relationship with corn plant growth, plant N uptake, and grain yield. The study was conducted in Santa Maria, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, for 12 years. The treatments consisted of pig slurry (PS); cattle slurry (CS); pig deeplitter (PL); mineral fertilizer (NPK); and no fertilization (control). We determined concentrations of dissolved inorganic N (DIN) and dissolved organic N (DON) in soil solution in situ, prior to sowing and during the growing cycle of corn. In plants, we determined the gaseous exchange, shoot N content, grain yield, and indices of recovery and efficiency of N. DIN in soil solution was the predominant N form in all treatments, ranging from 53 to 80% of total dissolved nitrogen (TDN). NPK was the only treatment that maintained high NO 3-concentration in the soil solution up to 35 days after plant emergence (DAE) and this resulted in higher grain yield. The plants fertilized with CS obtained a recovery of 80% of the N, and promoted improvements in crop growth. The results of this study showed the importance of combining the application of organic fertilizers (before sowing) with mineral sources of N (topdressing), allowing the maintenance of N availability in the soil solution during periods of demand of organic fertilizer.

“…Only a small proportion of organic N was mineralized from manure over time [36]. Applying manure as an alternative to or partial substitute for inorganic fertilizer rather than as a supplement restrains plant growth, leaf area index and tuber production [7,[37][38][39]. Results also showed that carbon dioxide concentrations for manure treatment were higher than those using inorganic fertilizer before the first inorganic fertilizer topdressing.…”

Using manure in potato production has been considered for its potential environmentally friendly effects. Two years of field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different kinds of fertilizer and soil surface treatments on potato growth. Experimental treatments consisted of three soil surface treatments, including black plastic-film mulch (BM), transparent film-plastic mulch (TM), and non-mulched (NM) treatment, and two fertilizer treatments, including inorganic fertilizer (IF), and cattle manure (CM). The results showed that low environmental temperatures at early growth stages harmed potato growth. The more suitable hydrothermal environment under BM treatment induced 9–67%, 1–223%, 15–30%, −1–11% and 18–34% greater plant height, leaf area index (LAI), tuber yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and water use efficiency (WUE), respectively, than NM and TM treatments. Plastic-film mulch increased soil carbon dioxide concentration, especially for the TM treatment. With low soil nitrogen content during the whole growth stage, and high soil carbon dioxide concentration during sprout and seedling stages, the CM treatment reduced plant height, LAI, tuber yields, ETc and WUE by 27–155%, 2–96%, 6–23%, 2–6% and 8–25%, respectively. These results suggest that inorganic fertilizer with black plastic-film mulch is still the best choice for potato production, and further studies are needed to identify the best level of cattle manure used under black plastic-film mulch.
