Agriculture has been considered as one of the priority countries sectors in our research; the share of agriculture in the gross domestic product of the world leading countries was investigated. The theoretical and practical aspects of non-waste agricultural production development using animal waste and crop residues fermented in biogas plants are revealed. The authors substantiate the relevance and potential of the introduction of waste-free technology which has considerable advantages of energy autonomy both for the enterprise and the country. The state of humus content in soils of Ukraine is also considered. International experience has been evaluated, which consists in the ability of agricultural waste both to produce alternative sources of energy and to use the products of their processing as organic fertilizers that significantly increase crop yields. The first steps of the Ukrainian agricultural enterprises to introduction of non-waste production on the example of the company LLC Organic-D have been presented; it heats and electrifies the complex, dries crops, and also uses organic fertilizer (digestate) due to waste processing in the biogas station. As a result of the research, it was found that the application of organic fertilizer can have a positive effect on soil recovery, because the soil acidity has changed from a level of weak acid (5.4 pH) to a level close to neutral (6 pH) for one year of its application. To conclude, the obtained results prove the relevance of the research problem.

Fertilizer is considered to be one of the main inputs for increasing crop yields. Chemical fertilizer industries are highly energy intensive and have a fundamental dependence on natural gas supply. On the other hand, organic fertilizers are the safer sources of plant nutrients without any detrimental effect on crops and soil. In the era of technological innovation, the farmers are interested to grow HYV rice and other diversified crops to support huge population of Bangladesh. So various harmful chemicals were used which degraded the health of the soil. Vermicompost is an excellent, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. It can bring back the fertility of the soil. Vermicomposting with earthworms has been recognized as a composting technique that transforms complex organic substances into stabilized, humus-like product. The application of vermicompost to the soil is considered as a good management practice in any agricultural production system because of the stimulation of soil microbial growth and activity and mineralization of plant nutrients and increased soil fertility and quality. This research focuses on producing nutrient-rich organic fertilizer by vermicomposting process from biomass. An experimental setup was carried out in Doulatpur, Kushtia targeting 10 tons output per month. Cow dung and crop residues were collected and followed vermicomposting method. Three cycles were maintained in the experiments i.e. 120 days per cycle-360 days in total and counted the vermi population for each consecutive cycle. The output fertilizer was analyzed in the laboratory and it was observed that the component ratios were suitable for agricultural lands. This fertilizer can also be used as a remedy for the barren lands. For the sustainable crop production and net improvement of soil productivity, vermicomposing is an excellent process to produce organic fertilizer from biomass.Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 42, No. 1, 1-9, 2018

Assessment for increasing productivity of suboptimal land with using three kinds of organic fertilizer and six rice varieties had been conducted in the Debowae village, Waeapo district, Buru regency at 2011.  Purpose of the assessment were to determine the effect of three types organic fertilizer and the use of six Inpara varieties to growth and productivity of rice in sub-optimal land. Study used a split plot design with three replications (farmers as replicates), where the main plot was three types of organic fertilizers (livestock manure, granular organic, and petroganic), while the subplot was 6 varieties Inpara (Inpara 1, Inpara 2, Inpara 3, Inpara 4, Inpara 5, and Indragiri). The soil types at the study site based on soil classification were Endoaquepts with soil fertility status was low. The study results  showed  that  the use of organic  manure combined with inorganic fertilizers,  both  from  livestock manure, while granular organic and petrogranic, gave an average crop growth and yield better than the results obtained by farmers outside of the study. Average petroganic fertilizer had a better growth and higher crop yields compared to other organic fertilizers. The six varieties of rice swamps that were examined (Inpara 1, Inpara 2, Inpara 3, Inpara 4, Inpara 5, and Indragiri) had the average growth and better yields than rice varieties used by farmers outside of the study (2.75 t ha-1). Varieties Inpara 4, Indragiri, Inpara 1 and  Inpara 2 had average yield above 7 t ha-1, while Inpara 3 and  Inpara 5 average above 4 t ha-1. Combination of granular organic fertilizer with Inpara 4 variety and petroganic with Indragiri variety had the best results (8.37 and 8.02 t ha-1), while the lowest yield (4.48 t ha-1) was reached at combination of  livestock manure with Inpara 5 variety.Keywords: adaptive varieties, land and plant management, organic fertilizers, suboptimal land [How to Cite: Marthen PS and MLJ Titahena. 2014.

The study investigated the effects of animal manures (cow manure, CoM; chicken droppings, CkD; and pig manure, PiM) applied at 15 t ha-1 equivalent rate on the soil and growth performance of okra grown in a degraded ultisol. The treatments (CoM; CoM; PiM and Control unamended) were laid out in a completely randomized design and replicated three times. Animal manure application had significant effects on soil properties. Soilorganic matter increased by over 9% in the amended treatment relative to the control treatment. Except for N, increases in P (circa 14-70%)and K (circa 15-46%) nutrients were higher for CkD treatment than in other  treatments. Generally, the amended treatments maintained a significantly higher (p ≤0.05) plant leave number, stem girth, plant height, okra pod length and yields when compared with the Control treatment. The results indicated that application of animal manure enhanced okra growth performance. The findings suggest that animal manure application can potentially increase okra yield when grown in a degraded soil. It is recommended that farmers use ample (15 t ha-1) ) quantity of animal manures to increase their crop yields, which invariably will enhance their income. Keywords: Soil fertility, organic fertilizers okra growth, okra yield response, farmers okra yeild.

Barley is a crop, requires the availability of available nutrients in the soil, especially at the be-ginning of the growing season. The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of the aftereffect of using vermicompost when growing spring barley on different backgrounds in the Donetsk region. The studies were carried out according to the methodology of the field experiment of B. A. Dospehova. Research methods: field, supplemented by analytical studies, measurements, calculations and observations. The studies were conducted in 2017–2019 by laboratory-field method in field crop rotation in the experimental sections of the Donetsk SSES NAAS. The repetition in the experiments is 3-fold. The location of the plots is systematic. The soil is alkaline-chernozemic carbonate, having an average supply of mineral nitrogen and mobile phosphorus, low – potassium. The humus content of 4,2 % indicates a high potential soil fertility, but to realize the potential of the culture, additional application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers is necessary. The technology for growing crops is generally accepted for the farms of the region, with the ex- ception of the factors studied. Variety of barley spring Avers. The experience scheme provides for: control (without fertilizers); background – saturation of crop rotation with vermicompost granular 2 t/ha; background + N30P30K30; background + N60P60K60; N30P30K30. The use of organic fertilizers under the predecessor in crop rotation provided improve nutriti-on conditions for plants, which positively affected the growth and development of spring barley plants. So, on the variants with the use of mineral fertilizers, the highest indices of the number of productive stems and the structure of the crop were noted in the background. The variant where N60P60K60 was added in the background produced the largest mass of 1000 grains – 49,8 g, which is 4,6 % higher than the control. Analysis of the study indicates the positive effect of the aftereffect of organic fertilizer (ver-micompost) on the yield of spring barley. The maximum yield of spring barley was obtained against the background of aftereffect of vermicompost 2 t/ha and the application of mineral fertilizers N60P60K60 – 5,05 t/ha, but due to high production costs, the profitability level is 114,9 %. The application of organic fertilizers under the background provides a yield of 3,67 t/ha and the highest level of profitability of 140,6 %. The optimal technological option provides for the introduction of mineral fertilizers in the norm N30P30K30 amid predecessor saturation with vermicompost. This allows increasing the yield up to 4,90 t/ha (by 1,46 t/ha or 42,4 % to the control) and obtaining a profitability level of 136,1 %. The use only of mineral fertilizer N30P30K30 in severely arid weather conditions of the steppe zone allows increasing the yield by 0,70 t/ha compared to the control but, due to the high cost of pro-duction, leads to a low production profitability of 99,6 %. Key words: spring barley, background, vermicompost, mineral fertilizers, yield, economic effici-ency.

This article discusses a new method of utilizing carbon-containing waste into biogas with the addition of a biological active additive Mefosfon to the substrate in order to accelerate the process of obtaining biogas and preserve nutrients in the final product - organic fertilizer. The experiments were carried out in a small-volume biogas plant (MBU) without air access in a heat-insulated reactor filled to 2/3. The results of numerical studies of the conversion products of cattle manure are presented. The manure was kept in the reactor for 7 days. The use of the drug Mefosfon in ultra-low concentrations (10-4) made it possible to obtain a useful product in the form of high-quality organic biofertilizers and biogas. The conducted microbiological analysis of the experiments showed that in the experiment with the use of the drug Mefosfon, the content of enterococci and bacteria of the Escherichia coli group were lower than in the experiment without the drug Mefosfon. Bioconversion of the organic component of the substrate allows the use of waste in agriculture as organic fertilizers. Such processing can significantly reduce the dry weight of the treated organic waste and reduce the content of pathogenic microorganisms Salmonella spp. and Enterococcus spp., bacteriophage FX174, Ascarissuumova. Mefosfon reduces the time of maturation and neutralization of carbon-containing agricultural waste, which indicates the prospects of its use. After processing waste in a small-volume biogas plant, there are no pathogenic pathogenic microflora, helminth eggs, weed seeds, nitrites and nitrates. The final nitrogen content of the Mephosphon treated substrate is higher than that of the untreated substrate. The acidity values in the substrate pH 6.7 in the untreated and 7.5 in the treated substrate. Studies have shown that when the drug Mefosfon is added to the substrate, the release of biogas begins on 1-2 days and lasts up to 7 days. In this case, the biogas yield increases up to 25% compared to the use of the control substrate without the use of the Mefosfon preparation. The drug has found application in plant growing, animal husbandry, reclamation of contaminated soils

Abstract Background Bio-organic fertilizers has been shown to improve crop yields, partially because of the effects on the structure and function in resident soil microbiome. Purpose and methods Whereas, it is unknown if such improvements have been facilitated by the particular action of microbial inoculants, or the compost substrate. To understand the ecological mechanisms to increase crop productivity by bio-organic fertilizers, we conducted a pot experiment tracking soil physicochemical factors and extracellular enzyme activity over two growth stages and variations of soil microbial communities caused by fertilization practices as below: Bacillus subtilis CY1 inoculation, swine compost, and bio-organic fertilizer. Results Results showed that different fertilization measures, especially bio-organic fertilizers, increased soil nutrients, enzyme activity, and the diversity of microbial communities. For quantifying the “effect size” of microbiota manipulation, we discoverd that, respectively, 19.94% and 48.99% of variation in the bacterial and fungal communities could be interpreted using tested fertilization practices. Fertilization-sensitive microbes showed taxonomy diversity and gave responses as guilds of taxa to specific treatments. The microbes exhibited medium to high degree of co-occurrence in the network and could be recruited, directly or indirectly, by B. subtilis CY1, suggesting that bio-organic fertilizer may allow manipulation of influential community members.Conclusion Together we demonstrated that the increase in tomato productivity by bio-organic fertilizer was caused by the synergistic effect of organic fertilizer and beneficial microorganisms, thus providing novel insights into the soil microbiome manipulation strategies of biologically-enhanced organic fertilizers.
