Amended Soil

Composts can be efficient organic amendments in potato culture as they can supply carbon and nutrients to the soil. However, more information is required to the effects of composts on denitrification and nitrous oxide emissions (N2O) and the emission-producing denitrifying communities. The effect of three compost amendments (municipal source separated organic waste compost (SSOC), forestry waste mixed with poultry manure compost (FPMC), and forestry residues compost (FRC)) on fungal and bacterial denitrifying communities and activity was examined in an agricultural field cropped to potatoes in during the fall, spring and summer seasons. The denitrification enzyme activity (DEA), N2O emissions and respiration were measured in parallel. N2O emission rates were greater in FRC-amended soils in the fall and summer, while soil respiration was highest in SSOC-amended soil in the fall. A large number of <i>nirK</i> denitrifying fungal transcripts was detected in the fall, coinciding with compost application while the greatest <i>nirK</i> bacterial transcripts were measured in the summer when plants were actively growing. Denitrifying community and transcript levels were poor predictors of DEA, N2O emissions or respiration rates in compost-amended soil. Overall, the sampling date was driving the population and activity levels of the three denitrifying communities under study.

Amended Soil

Application of animal manures influences enzymatic activities and microbial dynamics in soils. Poultry manure (PM) and swine manures (SM) were applied at the rate of 30 t ha−1 each. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Soils were sampled at day 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 and 84 from 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm depths. In both the PM and SM amended soils, significant increase in soil pH was observed. In PM treated soil, alkaline phosphatase significantly increased from 0.38 Mg g-1 to 4.94 Mg g-1 whereas in SM treated soil, it increased from 1.21 Mg g-1 to 4.80 Mg g-1. Acid phosphatase significantly increased from 0.42 Mg g-1 to 3.02 Mg g-1 in PM amended soil while increases from 0.11 Mg g-1 to 2.38 Mg g-1 were observed in SM amended soil. The application of PM and SM increased Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Count significantly from 1.27×104 Cfu g-1 to 8.63×107 Cfu g-1 and from 1.40×104 Cfu g1 to 8.10×107 Cfu g-1, respectively. Total Fungal Count significantly increased from 1.63×103 Cfu g-1 to 4.67×106 Cfu g-1 and from 2.00×103 Cfu g-1 to 5.67×106 Cfu g-1 in PM and SM amended soils, respectively.

Fact Sheet

Animal manures have been used as natural crop fertilizers for centuries. Because of poultry manure’s high nitrogen content, it has long been recognized as one of the most desirable manures. Besides fertilizing crops, manures also supply other essential plant nutrients and serve as a soil amendment by adding organic matter, which helps improve the soil’s moisture and nutrient retention. Organic matter persistence will vary with temperature, drainage, rainfall, and other environmental factors. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Michael A. Davis, D.R. Sloan, Gerald Kidder, and R.D. Jacobs, and published by the UF Department of Animal Science, November 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/aa205
