The present study was done at Bangladesh Agricultural University farm to evaluate the field performances of different types of manures viz. cowdung (CD), cowdung slurry (CD slurry), trichocompost (TC), vermicompost (VC), poultry manure (PM) and poultry manure slurry (PM slurry) with chemical fertilizers in the potato-mungbean-T. aman rice cropping pattern during 2011-12 and 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design, with three replications and eight treatments including T1 (Control), T2 [HYG based 100% chemical fertilizer (CF)], T3 [CD + CF (IPNS basis)], T4 [CD slurry + CF (IPNS basis)], T5 [PM + CF (IPNS basis)], T6 [PM slurry + CF (IPNS basis)], T7 [TC + CF (IPNS basis)] and T8 [VC + CF (IPNS basis)]. Trichocompost + CF and vermicompost + CF containing treatments produced higher crop yield followed by poultry manure slurry and cowdung slurry. Integrated use of manures and fertilizers gave on an average 6.7-33.7%, 8.3-33.8% and 2.9-18.3% yield increase in potato, mungbean and T. aman rice, respectively over sole application of chemical fertilizers (data not shown). Use of IPNS improved nutrient content and uptake of mungbean. The present study thus indicates that use of manure, especially trichocompost, vermicompost, PM slurry and CD slurry integrated with chemical fertilizers would help increase crop yield and improve soil fertility. However, Trichocompost + CF was the best option in this regard. SAARC J. Agri., 16(2): 167-179 (2018)

And Behavior

Biochar is being reported now a-days to potentially reduce the bioavailability of arsenic (As). A pot culture and an in vitro incubation study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of biochar produced from different sources (viz., cow dung, poultry manure and sewage sludge) at low temperature (250ºC) on the phytoavailability of As. An experimental setup containing two sets of treatments (As and no-As) were followed. Biochar was applied at the rate of 5t/ha to the soils that received As treatment at a rate of 1mg/L As (80% arsenite and 20% arsenate). After 45 days of growth of Kalmi (Ipomoea aquatica), plant and soil samples were analyzed. Biochar insignificantly increased plant growth.  Biochar was observed to be more effective in alleviating As accumulation in plant than the biomass. The incubation study was done for 0, 15, 30 and 45 days to diagnose the temporal sorption of water soluble As by biochars. All the biochar materials reduced As availability than their corresponding biomass materials. Measurement of different physical (e.g. surface area, morphology, elemental composition), chemical (CEC, nutrient content, As) and physicochemical (pH) properties of the biochar showed that through pyrolysis process nitrogen(N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P) content and pH of the biomass decreased and on the other hand potassium (K), As content and CEC increased. Slow pyrolysis process and variation in biomass material influenced the properties and behavior of biochar. Among the biochars, sewage sludge biochar showed the maximum and cowdAsung showed the minimum sorption capacity for As. Due to the threat of As to health and environment, this topic requires more consideration.  Moreover, covering all the above issues, this study identifies research gaps in the use of biochar as an adsorbent for As and proposes potential areas for future application of biochar.

Composting of sewage sludges makes easier the utilization of sewage sludge in the agriculture and the composts in good quality could increase the nutrient content of soil. Due to the composting process, the sewage sludge composts with high organic matter content can be utilized in the same way as other composts or farmyard manure.Composts produced in different ways have different effects on the physical, chemical and biological properties of different soils, although their positive effects have already proved in the literature. In our study the effects of composts from different composting processes were investigated in soil-plant systems. The different physical and chemical properties of the two examined soil types (arenosol and chernozem)strongly influenced the nutrient supply capacity of composts which could be characterized by the growth of ray-grass as a test plant in the pot experiment. In this work we examined the effects of three different composts on the green weight of plants on the fourth and eighth weeks after the treatment and sowing.

A study was conducted to examine the nutrient content and their uptake of rice as influenced by the application of humic acid (HA) and poultry manure (PM). This experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Three levels each of humic acid (0, 3 and 6 L ha-1) and poultry manure (0, 3 and 6 t ha-1) were applied. BRRI dhan39 was used as test crop. Basal doses of N, P, K and S fertilizers were applied. Both humic acid and poultry manure either singly or in combination significantly affected the contents and uptake of N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg of BRRI dhan39. The maximum content of N, P, K, S and Ca except Mg and their uptake were recorded from the treatment combination of 6 L ha-1 humic acid along with 3 t ha-1 poultry manure.
