Increased yield and nutrient content of Tropaeolum majus L. with use of chicken manure 1

Preparation of Natural multi-nutrient Slow Release Fertilizer (NSRF) aims to reduce the environmental burden from some waste and increase the efficiency of fertilizer in releasing nutrient content. In this study,slow-release fertilizer was prepared from all natural components from waste which aredried chicken manure (N source), struvite (P source), and palm empty fruit bunch ash (K source). The equal weight of the three main nutrient sources was used with the addition of starch powder as the binder by 10%, 15% and 20% of the total nutrient mixture. The mixture of all nutrient with binder was granulated using pan granulator. Dried NSRF granule was tested using sand bed release method to observe the release profile of the contained nutrient. Based on the results of a 30-day leaching study, it was found that increasing concentration of binder will reduce the release of the nutrient from NSRF granules.

Four chicken manure samples (two fresh, one two months old and the other 24 months old) were evaluated for pH, total and available nutrient content, and total and exchangeable Al. Total N ranged from 2.47 to 3.72%, the lowest value corresponding to the 24-month-old manure. There was little variation among manures as to total P, Ca and K, averaging 18,588, 18,358 and 24,238 p/m, respectively. Total Mg and total Al were higher in the 2- and 24-month-old manures; however, no increase in the exchangeable fractions of these cations was observed. Exchangeable Ca ranged from 1,558 to 5,200 p/m; however, no specific pattern with age of the manure was observed. AH the K present in the manures was in the exchangeable form. Available P increased with age of the manure. This P fraction represented 10, 7, 68 and 97% of total P for fresh (1), fresh (2), 2-month-old, and 24-month-old manures, respectively.

The production of patchouli oil refining the largest waste in Indonesia. But still has high nutrient content and can be used as liquid organic fertilizer. To increase the efficiency of the formation of liquid fertilizer from patchouli waste requires the role of EM4 bioactivator and chicken manure. The study aims to determine the production of liquid organic fertilizer froom potchouli waste with EM4 bioactivator and the addition of chicken manure as well as to analyze the effect of fermentation time and EM4 solution to obtain maximum N, P, K content. The results showed that there were some effect of fermentation time and variable of EM4 on NPK content. The maximum solution of N in the variable 8% EM4 solution with fermrntation time of 3 days was 0.34%. The maximum P in the variable of 4% EM4 solution with a fermentation time of 9 days was 0.10%. The maximum K in the variable of 2 and 4% EM4 solution with a fermentation time of 5 days were 0.27%.

Co Addition

This research was aimed at developing a composting process of organic waste using natural and modified zeolites by ascertaining how effective they were in retaining phosphorus (P) after 60 days. The experiments included compost (C) containing natural (N) and modified (M) zeolite (Z) treatments (applied at 10% and 15% on a weight basis of the total waste): CNZ10, CNZ15, CMZ10, CMZ15 and C (which is the control treatment with no zeolite addition). The second objective was to compare the barley shoot biomass and nutrient concentration of the various compost treatments mixed with soil and control treatment (just soil) after 45 days of planting in the greenhouse. In general, the benefits of co-addition of compost and zeolite on sandy soil were tested in a completely randomized experimental design. The results indicated that the treatments with the highest zeolite treatments (CNZ15 and CMZ15) proved most effective at retaining P by the end of the composting process (2.8mg and 2.9mg respectively) compared to the lower zeolite ratios and the control treatment; CNZ10 (2.0mg), CMZ10 (1.9mg) and C (0.7mg). The barley shoot biomass results indicated that the treatments that had a combination of soil (S) and modified zeolite (SCMZ10 and SCMZ15) had biomass of 7.67g and 7.24g respectively, followed by the natural zeolite and compost treatments (SCNZ10, SCNZ15 and SC) having 6.19g, 6.38g and 5.99g respectively and were significantly different from the control treatment (S) which had the lowest biomass of 0.48g. With respect to the plant nutrient concentration, N and P were significantly higher in the control treatment (S) compared to the other treatments while K concentration was significantly highest in the compost and some of the zeolite treatments (SC, SCNZ15 and SCMZ15) compared to other treatments. These results were in line with some previous findings where zeolite was used as a soil amendment in agriculture.

This study was conducted to determine the residual effects of chicken manure applications on nutrients in leaves and bulbs of second crop onion that grown after lettuce in greenhouse conditions. In the study, residual effects of chicken manure in 4 different doses (control, 20 t ha-1, 40 t ha-1, 60 t ha-1) and chemical fertilizers applied in the recommended amounts are investigated. Three onion varieties, called Burgaz, Snow white, Champion, were used. In the study, the lowest nutrient uptake was observed in control. However, the highest mineral content in leaves and bulbs were determined in the plots, that on average 40 t ha-1 chicken manure was applied to. In terms of leaf nutrient content, when the varieties were compared to each other, Ca, Mg, and Cu contents were found to be the highest in the Burgaz variety. Phosphorus, Zn, Mn contents were analyzed to be the highest in Snow white while N values determined maximum in Champion. The Champion variety contained higher nutrient values in bulbs.

Npk Fertilization

An experiment was conducted for 3 yr to compare the effects of fertilization of mixed forage with fresh and composted chicken manure and inorganic NPK. Fertility amendments were applied each year at three N levels and an unfertilized treatment was included. The experiment was conducted in two hay fields near Truro, Nova Scotia. Dry matter yield and forage N, P and K contents are reported for the 1992 and 1993 seasons. The nutrient content of the amendments as well as the efficiency of P and K use are discussed. Soil Mehlich 3-extractable P and K and KCl-extractable N were measured at two depths in September 1993. By the final year of the experiment, compost amendments produced yields as high as the recommended rate of NPK fertilization at both sites on both harvest dates. Medium rates of compost application also resulted in tissue N levels as high as or higher than the equivalent NPK treatments. The medium rate of manure application was equivalent in yield and tissue N to the compost treatments at the Acadia site, but had slightly lower yields and tissue N content at the Pugwash site. Compost P and K were relatively inefficiently used by the forage; this resulted in increased levels of Mehlich 3-extractable P and K in the 0- to 15-cm layer of the compost-amended plots. It was concluded that fertilization with compost or inorganic NPK, supplying equal amounts of N, can result in comparable yields and quality of forage.

The effects of chicken manure as a soil amendment and the application of nematicides on plant characteristics, yield and foliar nutrient content of the African Rhino plantain clone were evaluated. Chemical properties of the soil were monitored after chicken manure application. Chicken manure, at a rate of 25 t/ha, was incorporated during soil preparation. The nematicide treatment Included the use of etoprop at planting, followed by oxamyl at six and 12 months after planting. The application of chicken manure significantly increased the height and diameter of the pseudostem, reduced the number of days from planting to shooting, and increased bunch weight, and yield per hectare. With the use of chicken manure a yield of 34,242 kg/ha was obtained. This yield represents a 33% increase over that of the treatment without chicken manure. The use of nematicides significantly diminished the number of collapsed plants and Increased plantain yield. The use of chicken manure Increased the foliar content of N and Ca whereas the use of nematicide had no effect on any of the nutrient foliar content. The chemical properties of the soil (pH; organic matter; electric conductivity; N, P, K, Ca and Mg content) were not affected by the use of chicken manure.
