Effect of organic and mineral fertilizers on soil P and C levels, crop yield and P leaching in a long term trial on a silt loam soil

چکیده
The main objective of the present study was to compare fertilizer types in their ability to increase the soil organic matter content without increasing potential P leaching losses. Differences in soil organic carbon content, crop yield, P-CaCl2, P-AL, P export by the crop and P leaching from soil supplied with three compost types, cattle slurry, farmyard manure or mineral fertilizers were compared in a 8 years field experiment with arable, vegetable and fodder crops. P leaching losses were assessed separately in a soil column leaching experiment. As expected, farmyard manure and compost are the better options to increase the soil organic carbon level. Cattle slurry and mineral fertilizers tended to produce lower crop yields. P-CaCl2 was increased when farmyard manure was used as organic fertilizer, leading to an increased P leaching but not to an increased crop P export. Therefore it seems that the higher dissolved P concentrations in the soil solution for farmyard manure, measured as P-CaCl2 in the soil, are a source of potential P losses. All three compost types could gradually increase soil organic carbon levels without increasing P leaching losses. ã 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The effects of 34 years cultivation on organic carbon content of the loess derived soils were studied in Golestan province, northern Iran. Soil organic carbon (SOC) showed significant decrease in most of cases. The minimum and maximum SOC decreases were 4 and 51.14 Mg C ha-1/30 cm for 34 years. In a few cases there was an increase in SOC up to 16.93 Mg C ha-1/30 cm over the period of 34 years i...

Nitrogen (N) export from soils to streams and groundwater under the intensifying cropping schemes of the Pampas is modest compared to intensively cultivated basins of Europe and North America; however, a slow N enrichment of water resources has been suggested. We (1) analyzed the fate of fertilizer N and (2) evaluated the contribution of fertilizer and soil organic matter (SOM) to N leaching un...
