Application of sewage sludge of shrimp farms as an alternative to organic fertilizers in the cultivation of maize (Zea mays L) in the area of Maracaibo Lake (Venezuela)

A glass house study was conducted to evaluate the contribution of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) in improving maize yield grown on sandy loam of Northern Lombok. The package of organic fertilizers treatments were tested including: without inoculation of mycorrhiza, inoculation mycorrhiza and no added inorganic fertilizers, inoculation of mycorrhiza with cattle manure added, inoculation of mycorrhiza with rock phosphate added and inoculation mycorrhiza with inorganic fertilizers. The treatments were arranged using a Completely Randomized Design with four replications. The results of the study show that the inoculation of AMF significantly increased soil concentration of N, available-P, K and organic-C by 37.39%, 60.79%, 66.66% and 110.15% respectively observed at 60 days after sowing (DAS). The similar trend was also found at 100 DAS, where those nutrients increased by 21.48%, 69%, 43.93% and 37.07%, respectively compared to control. The improving of soil fertility status was also reflected by nutrients uptake (i.e. N, P, K, Ca) as well as growth and yield of maize. N, P, K and Ca uptake increased by 1,608%, 1,121%, 533% and 534%, respectively. Roots and top dry biomass at 60 DAS increased by 718.40% and 337.67%, respectively. The trend increased of the biomass was followed by observation at 100 DAS. Yield components including cobs, grain and weight of 100 grains increased by 313.60%, 411.84% and 137.54%, respectively. In addition, the inoculation of AM with F2 contributed significantly to the spore numbers and root infection.[How to Cite : Astiko W, IR Sastrahidayat, S Djauhari, and A Muhibuddin. 2013.

Petroleum hydrocarbons, as aggressive components of diesel oils, after migration to the land environment can alter the activity and efficiency of ecosystems. They can also be dangerous to animal and human health. Eco-friendly methods for the reclamation of affected soils is necessary to manage degraded lands. One such method is the use of ashes. The aim of this research was to determine how soil pollution with diesel oil (brand name, Eco-Diesel) affects the chemical composition of maize (Zea mays L.) and whether the application of ash from a combined heat and power plant, as well as from sewage sludge incineration, could reduce the potentially adverse impact of diesel oil on plants. The research results demonstrated that soil contamination with Eco-Diesel oil modified the content of selected macronutrients in the analyzed crop plant. Eco-Diesel oil had a negative effect on maize yield. The highest diesel oil dose in a series without neutralizing substances had a positive effect on the accumulation of most elements, except nitrogen and sodium. Soil enrichment with ash differentiated the content of macronutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, in the aerial biomass of maize. The ashes increased the yield of maize and content of some macronutrients, mainly nitrogen but also calcium, the latter in a series where soil was treated with ash from sewage sludge thermal recycling. Both types of ash also resulted in a decrease in the plant content of phosphorus, while ash from hard coal caused a slight reduction in the content of potassium in maize. Ash of different origins can be an effective solution in the reclamation of degraded soils, which may then be used for growing energy crops.

Planting Season

An Implemented pot experiment has been conducted in Al-Qadisiyah city - sadder AL- Yusufiya - District 9 in Spring planting season 2016 to study the effect of the overlap between the mineral , organic and bio fertilization in some growth indicators to maize crop (Zea mays) in Silt Loam texture soils with factorial experiement according to completely randomize design (Complete random design) and with three replicates. The expenneit has been done by adding mineral fertilizers (240 kg N. ha-1 and 80 kg P. ha-1 and 120 kg K. ha-1) three levels (0, 50% and 100%) respectively; and two levels of organic fertilizer (0 and 10 Mg. ha-1) respectively; and two levels of bio-fertilizer (0 and 2 ml. L-1) respectively to the irrigation water. The addition of mineral , organic and bio fertilizers has a significant effecct on the dry matter amount and the treatment (M2O1B1) is given the highest average of the dry matter,which reaches to 57.27 g.pot-1 as compared with the control treatment (M0O0B0), reacches to 20.46 g.pot-1 and the increasing percentage reach to 179.91%. There are no significant differences between (M1O1B1) and (M2O1B1). The triple overlap among the metal and organic fertilizers and bio has a significant effect on increasing the percentages of N, P and K in maize plants%, the treatment (M2O1B1) has achieved the highest average of 3.67% N and 0.49% P and 2.19% K respectively, compared with the treatment control (M0O0B0) 2.21% N and 0.23% P and 1.33% K sequentially with increasing which presentage reached to 66.06 N% and 113.04 P% and 64.66 K%. There are no significant differences between the treatments (M1O1B1) and (M2O1B1).

Penelitian rekayasa pupuk organik dan pengaruhnya terhadap potensi hasil tanaman jagung hibrida (Zea mays L.) telah dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Univesitas Padjadjaran sejak Desember 2013 sampai akhir Februari 2014, bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh formula pupuk organik dan dosis terhadap potensi hasil tanaman jagung hibrida. Rancangan percobaan adalah Rancangan Acak kelompok dengan satu faktor perlakuan, yaitu formula pupuk organik A 4 t ha-1(kompos: jerami 30%, kasmur 10%, limbah buah nenas 20%, kohe sapi 20%, kohe kelinci 20%; 21 kg SP-36+ 4,5 kg KCl 60% t kompos-1). B 5 t ha- 1(kompos: jerami 40%, kasmur 10%, limbah buah nenas 10%, kohe sapi 30%, kohe kelinci 10%; 26 kg SP-36+ 5,5 kg KCl 60% t-1kompos)., C 5 t ha-1 (kompos: jerami 20%, kasmur 10%, limbah buah nenas 0%, kohe sapi 50%, kohe kelinci 20%; 30 kg SP-36+ KCl 60% 6,0 kg.). , D 4 t ha-1(kompos: jerami 20%, kasmur 10%, limbah buah nenas 10%, kohe sapi 60%, kohe kelinci 0%; 30 kg SP-36 + 8,5 kg t-1 KCl 60%).E 5 t ha-1(kompos: jerami 50%, kasmur 0%, limbah buah nenas 0%, kohe sapi 50%, kohe kelinci 0%; 32 kg SP-36+ 7 kg KCl 60% t kompos-1), dan kontrol [K (tanpa formula pupuk organik)]. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua formula pupuk organik berpotensi meningkatkan bobot biomassa kering oven, bobot pipilan kering plot dan potensi hasil tanaman jagung per hektar. Formula E 5 t ha-1 berpotensi memberi hasil maksimum 10 t ha-1. Research about organic fertilizers formulation and its effect on maize yield potency was conducted at experimental field located in Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor Sumedang, West Java, since December 2013 until Februari 2014. The experiment was aimed to determine the effect of organic fertilizers formulas to maize yield potency, which was arranged using a randomized block design and repeated six times with six treatment factors A 4 t ha-1(compost of: straw 30%, spent muschroom substrate 10%, pineapple waste 20%, cow dung 20%, rabbit droppings 20%; 21 kg SP-36+ 4,5 kg KCl 60% t compost-1). B 5 t ha- 1(compost of: straw 40%, spent muschroom substrate 10%, pineapple waste10%, cow dung 30%, rabbit droppings 10%; 26 kg SP-36+ 5,5 kg KCl 60% t-1compost-1)., C 5 t ha-1 (compost of: straw 20%, spent muschroom substrate 10%, pineapple waste%, cow dung 50%, rabbit droppings 20%; 30 kg SP-36+ KCl 60% 6,0 kgt compost-1), D 4 t ha-1(compost of: straw 20%, kasmur 10%, pineapple waste 10%, cow dung 60%, rabbit droppings 0%; 30 kg SP-36 + 8,5 kg t-1 KCl 60%t compost-1).E 5 t ha-1(compost of: straw 50%, spent muschroom substrate 0%, pineapple waste 0%, cow dung 50%, rabbit droppings 0%; 32 kg SP-36+ 7 kg KCl 60% t compost-1), dan control [K (withouthorganic fertilizer formula)]. The result indicated that organic fertilizer formulas increased dry matter weight, seed dry weight per plot and potential yield per hectare. Organic fertilizer formulas E5 t ha-1 potentiallygave the maximum yield of 10 t ha-1.
