The effect of municipal solid waste compost, fertilizers, Rhizobium and flora on the growth and yield of wheat was studied through a field experiment at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The soil was silty loam in texture having pH 6.94, organic matter 1.62%, total nitrogen 0.067%, available phosphorus 10.45 ppm, exchangeable K 0.08 me/100g soil, available sulphur 12.00 ppm and cation exchange capacity 15.0 me/100g soil. There were seven treatments such as T0 = control, T1 = 100% recommended doses of fertilizer (RDF), T2 = 100% RDF + compost @ 3.5 t ha-1, T3 = 100% RDF + compost @ 3.5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium, T4 = 75% RDF + 25% N based compost, T5 = 75% RDF + 25% N based compost + Rhizobium, T6 = 100% RDF + Flora. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, zinc and boron were applied as basal dose from TSP, MOP, gypsum, zinc sulphate and boric acid @ 30 kg P, 135 kg K, 15 kg S, 2 kg Zn and 1 kg B, respectively. Nitrogen as urea was used @100 kg ha-1 for the respective treatments. For T3 and T5, the seeds were inoculated with Rhizobial strains. The plants were harvested at maturity and the grain and straw yields were recorded. Wheat grain and straw samples were collected and analyzed for N,P,K and S. The nutrient uptake of wheat calculated. Application of municipal solid waste compost, fertilizers, Rhizobium and flora increased the N and S content both in grain and straw of wheat but decreased the P content as compared to control. The K content in wheat straw increased with different treatments but the effect was reverse in case of wheat grain. The N,P,K,and S uptake of wheat grain and straw as well as the total uptake increased significantly with all the treatments over control.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i1.22039 J. Environ.

A field experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during January to June 2010 to study the combined effects of Bradyrhizobium, municipal solid waste compost and fertilizers on nodulation, N-content and uptake of soybean. The soil was silty loam in texture having pH 6.94, organic matter 1.62%, total N 0.067%, available P 10.45 ppm, available S 12.00 ppm, exchangeable K 0.08 me/100 g soil and cation exchange capacity 15.00 me/100 g soil. There were eight treatments. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Phosphorus, potassium and sulphur were applied as basal from TSP, MoP and gypsum respectively. Nitrogen as urea and magnesium as MgCl2 were used for the respective treatments. The seeds were inoculated with the selected bradyrhizobial strains. Compost was prepared from municipal solid waste collected from Mymensingh city. Data on nodulation were recorded at 40 and 60 DAS and the N contents in grain, stover and root were determined. Inoculation of seeds with bradyrhizobial strains and application of MSW compost and fertilizers significantly influenced the parameters studied. Both nodule number and weight irrespective of the treatments progressively increased with time up to 60 DAS. The grain and stover yields due to different treatments ranged from 0.80 t to 1.58 t ha-1 and 8.54 t to 10.75 t ha-1 Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain BAU-101 and application of compost @ 10 t ha-1DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i2.14799 J.

Soil Responses

Vegetable culture with Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSWC) amended soils was evaluated with the emphasis on crop and soil responses. There were three treatments of 0, 20, and 40 t·ha–1 of MSWC applied in the fall of 1993 to a Matapeake Silt Loam on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The following spring the soil was prepared for planting tomatoes and green beans. All crop management practices were in accordance with the standard procedures followed in Maryland for each crop, except for the addition of the MSWC. Both crop yields were significantly increased with the addition of the MSWC. Following the bean crop, broccoli transplants were established in the fall of 1994. Again, the yields obtained with the MSWC plots as compared to the control were significantly greater. Soil properties were also favorably affected by the addition of the compost. Analysis of soil samples indicated significant increases with MSWC, such as cation exchange capacity, soil pH, percent organic matter, and water-holding capacity.

The study was conducted in Wolmera district of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. The main research objective was to evaluate the effect of municipal solid waste compost on potato yield in comparison to inorganic fertilizers and farm yard manure and combined applications. The experimental design was a factorial in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments were: i) combination of diammonium phosphate (97.5 kg/ha), urea (82.5 kg/ha) and municipal solid waste compost (10,000 kg/ha), ii)  combination of  diammonium phosphate (97.5 kg/ha),  urea  (82.5 kg/ha)  and farm yard manure  (10,000 kg/ha), iii) diammonium phosphate  (195k g/ha) and urea  (165 kg/ha), iv) farm yard manure (20,000 kg/ha), v) municipal solid waste compost (20,000 kg/ha), and vi) control. The findings of the research indicated that the combination of municipal solid waste compost and inorganic fertilizers resulted in the highest total tuber yield and total marketable yield, 18.2±0.7 ton/ha and 17.8±0.7 ton/ha, respectively, with 149% relative marketable yield advantage over control. Sole application of municipal solid waste compost was also resulted in significant (P=.05) potato yield increment compared to the control. It resulted in an increase of marketable potato tuber yield advantage of 52% over the control with total marketable yield of 10.9±0.9 ton/ha. Hence, combined use of municipal solid waste compost and inorganic fertilizers may be a promising option for poor potato farmers around the City of Addis Ababa.

Biochar is a way to improve the performance of the composting process and the quality of compost. This study was aimed to investigate the optimum ratio of khat straw (Catha edulis) biochar and organic municipal solid waste mixtures to improve the quality of the resulting co-composts. Khat-derived biochar during pyrolysis at 350 °C was added to organic municipal solid waste mix and four co-composting treatments were prepared with the compositions (% w/w): control compost (no biochar) and 5%, 15%, and 25% co-composted biochar in three replicates. The total organic carbon, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and potassium values ranged as 16.76–21.45%, 30.77–40.26%, 0.97–1.68%, 0.58–0.76%, and 12.72–15.29%, respectively. The results confirmed that 5% and 15% co-composted khat biochars had significantly reduced (p < 0.05) organic matter loss and increased the contents of cation exchange capacity, pH, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc compared to the control compost, while some heavy metals (Fe, Cu, and Mn) and EC values in co-composted biochars are lower than the control compost. Khat-derived biochar could be added to municipal organic waste mix at 5–15% (w/w) in order to get better quality of compost, which can be used as biofertilizer.

A field experiment was conducted at two locations i.e. at Soil Science Field of Bangladesh Agricultural University and at Farmer’s field of Fakirakanda village of Mymensingh Sadar to evaluate the effects of different organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of rice (BRRI dhan28). The experiments at each location containing seven treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments were T0: Control, T1: 75% RFD; T2: 100% RFD, T3: 75% RFD + Kazi Jaibo Shar (5 tha-1), T4: 75% RFD + Kazi Jaibo Shar (3 t ha-1), T5: 75% RFD + Poultry manure (3 t ha-1) and T6: 75% RFD + Cow dung (5 t ha-1). Application of poultry manure as well as Kazi Jaibo Shar showed positive effects on yield attributes, grain and straw yields of rice, nutrient (N, P, K and S) contents and uptake by grain, straw and in total. The performance of 75% RFD with poultry manure @ 3 t ha-1 was the best in producing yield components, grain and straw yields of rice. At both locations, the performance of same dose (3 t ha-1) of poultry manure and Kazi Jaibo Shar was almost similar in producing growth and yield contributing characters, grain and straw yields, - nutrient content and uptake by rice while each of these manures compensated up to 25% of recommended chemical fertilizers. Therefore, considering the soil health, poultry manure or Kazi Jaibo Shar @ 3 t ha-1 is recommended for growth and yield enhancement in rice. SAARC J. Agri., 16(2): 153-166 (2018)

Balanced fertilization is a pre-requisite for better rice production and it is necessary to determine optimum combination of nutrient elements for application. An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during Boro season to investigate the effects of reduced rates of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) on the growth, yield, nutrient content and uptake by rice. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and eight treatments viz. T1: Control, T2: Recommended Fertilizer Dose (RFD), T3: RFD -20% P, T4: RFD-40% P, T5: RFD-20% S, T6: RFD-40% S, T7: RFD-20% PS and T8: RFD-40% PS. The recommended fertilizer doses were 125 kg N ha-1, 25 kg P ha-1, 70 kg K ha-1, 15 kg S ha-1 and 3 kg Zn ha-1 supplied from urea, TSP, MoP, gypsum and zinc sulphate, respectively. There was significant effect of reduced rates of P and S fertilizers on rice yield compared to control. The highest grain yield of 5.10 t ha-1 and straw yield of 7.02 t ha-1 were recorded from treatment T2 (RFD) that produced the maximum values of all the yield components and the highest content and uptake of nutrients. The performance of T2 and T3 (RFD - 20% P) was statistically similar in producing yield parameters, yields, nutrient contents and uptake by rice. Again, 20% reduced rate of S (T5) or of P and S (T7) caused significant yield reduction, poor yield parameters and less nutrient uptake compared to T2. Thus, the recommended fertilizer dose and the treatments where 20% P was reduced from the RFD are equally efficient in increasing yield as well as enhancing nutritional quality of rice. This reduction of chemical fertilizer could help lessen the cost of rice production with decreasing environmental risk. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. March 2021, 7(1): 40-47

The objective of this research was to find out the effect of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure on plant height, leaf length, and harvest weight of pakcoy (Brasica rapa) in Andisols in Indramayu Regency. This study used a randomized block design factorial with two factors. The first factor is municipal waste compost and the second factor is cow manure. Each of them consisted of 4 levels : 0%, 3.0%, 6.0%, and 9.0% with two replication. The results showed that there was an interaction between municipal solid waste compost and cow manure on the plant heights of  pakcoy 14, 21, and 28 HST, but there was no interaction at 7 HST. The statistical results show that the combination of municipal solid waste compost with cow manure has an effect on the height of pakcoy 14, 21, and 28 HST, but the height of pakcoy 7 HST is influenced by the independent influence of cow manure. There was an interaction between municipal solid waste compost and cow manure on the leaf length of pakcoy 7, 14, 21, and 28 HST, and there was an interaction between municipal waste compost and cow manure on the harvest weight of pakcoy. The application of organic matter, both municipal solid waste compost and cow manure to the soil can increase plant height, leaf length, and harvest weight of pakcoy.

The experiment was conducted during 2017 and 2018 cropping seasons at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Southern Guinea Savanna, Nigeria to determine the performance of maize as influenced by tillage and fertilizer treatments. The experimental design consisted of two factors. Tillage (flat, ridges, zero and heap tillage) and fertilizer (0, 75, 150 and 300 kgha-1 of NPK 15:15:15). Treatments were laid out in a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) and replicated three times. A composite soil sample was obtained from a plough layer (0-15 cm) at the beginning and at the end of each experiment according to the treatments and analyzed for particle size distribution, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and exchangeable cations as well as cation exchange capacity (CEC). Data collected for the growth and grain yield of maize were subjected to analysis of variance after which significant means were separated using least significant difference (LSD) at P<0.05. Results indicated that there were significant effects of tillage and fertilizer treatments with respect to all parameters studied. However, ridges and heap at 300 kgha-1 NPK fertilizer applications gave the best results and produced higher growth and grain yield of maize as a result of improved access to soil nutrients when compared with flat or zero tillage. Similarly, increasing the quantity of NPK fertilizer resulted in increase in the growth and yield of maize crops. This implies that growth and yields of maize crops could still response to higher fertilizer rates which needs further investigation.
