Organic fertilization provides low cost, supplemental nutrition for plant production. This study aimed to determine the best source and dose of organic fertilizer on the growth of physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.), a potential biodiesel producer. Physic nut seedlings were transplanted to 18 dm³ black plastic pots filled with soil mixed with four sources of organic fertilizer (chicken, fish, cattle manure or urban waste compost) at four dose levels (50, 100, 200 or 400 L m-3). Fertilized and control (no fertilization) plants were grown under shadehouse conditions and morphological plant features were assessed at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after transplanting. Doses higher than 100 L m-3 of poultry manure mixed with claysoil should be avoided. The use of other sources such as cattle manure, fish manure and composting may be used and result in increase in height, leaf area, SPAD index up to doses of 200 L m-3 manure mixed in clay soil.

An experiment conducted to evaluate the influence of different organic manure on soil properties under glasshouse and open field condition at Khumaltar, Lalitpur during 2017-2018 showed insignificant results on major soil properties by the application of different organic manure under open and protected environmental condition at varying sampling days. The experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications and six treatments viz. Vermicompost (VC) @ 10:1 gkg-1 of soil (T1), FYM @ 10:1 gkg-1 of soil (T2), Poultry Manure (PM) @ 10:1 gkg-1 of soil (T3), Safal Kishan (SK) @ 10:1 gkg-1 of soil (T4), Nepalese Organic Fertilizer (NOF) @ 10:1 gkg-1 of soil (T5) and Control (T6). Application of poultry manure and Safal kisan under glasshouse condition recorded higher organic matter (6.40 %) at 90 days and application of poultry manure under open condition at 30 days recorded higher total Nitrogen Content (0.53%). Application of vermicompost and poultry manure under open condition at 60 days have highest available Phosphorous content (381 kgha-1), whereas application of poultry manure under open condition at 60 days was observed having highest available potassium content (782 kgha-1) in the soil.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the ancient cereal crops of agriculture in the world and one of the first domesticated cereals and fourth largest cereal crop next to maize, wheat and rice in the world. It contributes seven percent of the total cereal production. The production of barley in Ethiopia reduced by many factors from these biotic factors including rodents, pathogens, diseases, weed, pests, insects and abiotic stress like drought, flooding, temperature stress, salinity, poor management practice, frost, poor soil fertility, agronomic practice etc. among those the most important factors that reduce yield of barley in Ethiopia are the use of inappropriate organic fertilizers. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to review the influence of organic fertilizers on productivity of barely. The review was done by collecting the various published and unpublished materials relevant information from different literature sources like libraries, research report, journals, books and Internet center. As various scholars mentioned organic fertilizers affect the growth, development and yield of barley. The uses of farm yard manure, animal manure, poultry manure and vermi compost considerably improved yield and yield component of barley such as number of tillers per plant, spike length, straw, biomass, grain weight and grain yield. It concludes using organic fertilizer has crucial role for increasing barley production and productivity.

The article considers utilization of organic waste from poultry farming being an urgent problem of agriculture. Leaders of large poultry farms are interested in using low-cost recycling schemes aimed to process waste into safe products in a short time. This paper considers the possibility of using an organic fertilizer “Soil Improver (UP-1)” obtained by processing poultry waste by using a biologically active additive Mefosfon, which is a melamine salt of bis (oxymethyl) phosphinic acid. Field tests were carried out in 2019-2020 on the lands of OAO “Agrofirma “Ak Bars-Pestretsy” being the branch of the Poultry farm of the Pestrechinsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan. The object of the study was the recognized variety of soft winter wheat “Scepter” ES (elite variety). The rate of application of chicken compost and organic product UP-1 in the control and experimental plots was 56 tons per 1 ha. The experimental data show that wheat cultivated with the application of UP-1 compost was distinguished by higher rates of field germination (increased by 13 %); the length of secondary roots was 11.2 % greater compared to control. The grain produced in this variant had higher hardness (control – 62 %, UP-1 – 72 %) and the quality of crud gluten (74.0, 78.0 %, respectively), the yield of winter wheat grain – by 0.06–0.12 t/ha (1.2–2.5 %), which indicates the feasibility of using fertilizer from poultry manure in crops cultivation.

Abstract Background: The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in animal manure poses threats to the environmental safety. Organic fertilizers fermented by livestock and poultry manure are directly applied to farmland, which would cause the potential outbreak of bacterial resistance in agricultural environment. This study investigated the composition of ARGs in different animal manure and their derived organic fertilizers. Results: Results showed that the abundance of several ARGs, such as sul 2, Tet B-01, Tet G-01 and Tet M-01 in organic fertilizer samples was 12%~96% lower than in animal manure. However, there was an increasing of Tet K and erm C abundance from animal manure to the organic fertilizers. No correlation between ARGs and environmental factors such as pH, TN, antibiotics was observed by Redundancy analysis (RDA). Procrustes analysis revealed the significant correlation between bacterial community structures and the ARGs abundance (r=0.799, p<0.01). Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis suggested that microorganisms in organic fertilizer may be derived from animal manure. Additional, pathogenic bacteria (especially Actinomadura ) would proliferate rather than decrease from manure to organic fertilizer. Conclusion: Overall, this research suggests that the composting treatment of manure could effectively reduce these ARGs and pathogens,even cause partial ARGs and pathogens proliferation. It also shows that the microorganism might significantly influence ARGs profiles in composting.

This paper presents results regarding the variation of the qualitative parameters of the organic fertilizer machines according to the parameters of the material and control, of the working regime. These results are obtained from mathematical models that interpolate experimental data. The functions thus obtained allow the investigation of the existence of optimal working regimes and, if confirmed, the identification of these operating modes (of the optimal control parameter set: rotational speed, inclination angles, flow rate, etc.). The analysis can be extended to other types of agricultural machinery for the administration of solid organic fertilizers, chemicals or amendments.

Modern industrial poultry farming plays a huge role in providing the population with food. In this regard, such enterprises are characterized by high concentrations of poultry, clear rhythms, the flow of the technological process of raising and keeping poultry, which requires a large amount of technical equipment, and a consistently high output with a relatively low cost. These characteristics create preconditions for the spread of such enterprises, the improvement of the technology for producing poultry products, providing for the maximum use of all resources for their modernization and expansion. It should be borne in mind that with an increase in the scale of production at poultry farms, the amount of wastewater and various wastes will also increase, the main of which is poultry manure. The most widespread problem is the problem of the impact of poultry farming on aquatic ecosystems, which leads to the destabilization of the biosphere itself and the loss of sustainable integrity, as well as the ability to qualitatively restore the natural environment in certain regions of our country. Some regions of our country have significant changes in relief, the absence of vegetation, which excludes them from economic activities. With regard to the biological usefulness of poultry products consumed by the population, it is recommended to use products grown within a radius of 500 km from the place of residence in the corresponding climatic zone. Taking into account this fact, it is necessary to locate poultry farms directly near the residence of a potential consumer, while reducing the transportation of finished products across the country. In this work, a method has been developed for the use of microorganisms for the purification of wastewater from the poultry farm of ZAO “Agrofirma Vostok” in Nikolaevsky district of Volgograd region and the processing of organic waste in order to create an organic fertilizer for agriculture in the region.

The experiment was conducted at National Horticultural Research Institute, Ibadan and Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Teaching and Research Farm Ogbomoso between August and December, 2015. Five accessions of grain amaranth were screened in the field at both locations. The trials was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used in assigning treatments in the field and replicated three times. Seven Nitrogen sources: poultry manure, cow dung, pacesetter organic fertilizer, brewery waste, providence organic fertilizer, Aleshinloye organic fertilizer N:P:K and control each applied at 120 kg N ha-1 imposed on the five selected accessions. Data were collected on growth (plant height, stem girth, number of branches and number of leaves) biweekly and subjected to analysis of variance. The results shows that, irrespective of the accessions, the two agro-ecological zones are suitable for high grain yield of grain amaranth but Ogbomosho; derived savannah zone gave better growth biomass than the transitional rainforest ecology of Ibadan in grain amaranth production. To improve the growth of amaranth, addition of fertilizer up to 120 kg N ha-1 is recommendedpreferably organic fertilizer like cow dung.
