Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a sucrose-rich tap root crop, with its fresh containing up to 20% sucrose contents. Natural organic fertilizers can be good alternative synthetic fertilizers. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted for the optimization of different amendments i.e., farmyard manure, poultry compost, and biochar. After experiment, pre-optimized doses (farmyard 40 t ha−1; 20...

soil compaction is one of the most prevailed limitations for crop growth. the use of organic matters as fertilizer on agricultural soils can reduce the effects of soil compaction and provide the nutrients for the plants. so, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the first factor was the source and amount of organic fertilizer (far...

Mining is an important economic activity that promotes income generation, job creation, and industrialization globally. In spite its importance, it classified as land degradation form disrupts natural ecosystem through loss of biota soil health. Paucity information regarding the performance reclaimed mined soils in supporting crop production abound Kenya. To contribute to this knowledge gap, a ...

Continuous application of phosphatic fertilizers in association with its low recovery results the insoluble legacy P buildup agricultural soils. In this study, a field experiment was conducted maize hybrid COH(M) 6 to know effect different activators (Farmyard Manure, Humic acid, Phosphorus Solubilising Bacteria, and Phytase) on increasing phosphorus (P) availability. The were combined applied ...

Tenure insecurity and thin land rental markets weakened the incentives to farmland investment in rural China, which was not conducive improving agricultural productivity. Thus, impacts of tenure security transfer on were analyzed by using household fixed effect model, IV method a 762 household-level 1163 plot-level data set. The results indicated that: (1) compared with owned plots, number farm...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the most often reported attribute and is chosen as the most important indicator of soil quality and agricultural sustainability. In this review, we summarized how cultivation, crop rotation, residue and tillage management, fertilization and monoculture affect soil quality, soil organic matter (SOM) and carbon transformation. The results confirm that SOM is not only ...
