in order to study the effects of different levels of cow and chicken manure and elemental sulfur (s) on availability of plant nutrients and their uptake by corn (zea mays l.), a factorial experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design and three replication. experimental treatments were three levels (0, 10 and 20 ton ha-1) of cow and chicken manures, and three levels (0, 0.25% and...

There are various methods or practices for sustainable farming. This study recommends farming that appropriate and effective organic vegetable production in Bukidnon and, some way, serve as the basis Thus, this paper aims to recommend a method production. Results of revealed focal person-key informants would highly such crop rotation, intercropping planning management, composting, green manures...

Swine and chicken manures are abundant solid wastes that can be converted into carbonaceous materials through hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). Owing to their unique biochemical compositions, co-HTC of these two types may have significant implications for the generated products. We investigated swine manure understand influence interaction between contrasting on properties derived The results i...

The wide range of external solid organic sources nutrients viz., FYM, vermicompost, goat manure, etc., are available, out them, FYM & vermicompost found to good in terms yield and quality the different pulse crops. Several options available for liquid manures, among them higher yield, cost-benefit ratio produce reported with application Panchagavya jeevamrut. Crop residue mulching manures w...

No-till farming and manure application are means of storing carbon in soil increasing quality. However, the organic fertilization no-till soils may sustain subtropical agroecosystems for only a limited period until quality declines. The C, N, P, other nutrient cycles perturbed due to imbalance manures their on surface, which poses risk dispersion into environment. Long-term N-based also impacts...

abstract biological and chemical changes in rhizosphere following organic residues as well as manures application are important processes which influence nitrogen mineralization and nutrients bioavailibity in soils. this study was done to evaluation of organic residues effect on growth, nitrogen supply and rhizosphere characteristics of corn and sunflower plants in greenhouse experiment using s...

Mustard (Brassica and Sinapis spp.) green manures tilled into the soil preceding potato crops act as biofumigants that are toxic to plant–parasitic nematodes, providing an alternative to synthetic soil fumigants. However, it is not known whether mustard green manures also kill beneficial entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) that contribute to the control of pest insects. We used sentinel insect pr...

The ability to predict manure nitrogen mineralization is essential for optimizing crop growth while preventing N losses to the environment. However, estimating mineralizable manure N is problematic because of the wide variety of organic manure N forms, as well as the lack of a rapid standardized method. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) is a promising technology, since it can de...
