Integrated nutrient management, which primarily involves the combined application of organic and inorganic nutrient sources, is one of the simplest approaches to handle declining soil fertility challenges and increase crop productivity and production. Keeping in view this fact, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of compost and inorganic nitrogen fertilizer and their mixture on soil properties, growth, and nitrogen uptake of maize on loam and clay textured soils at the Awada Agricultural Research Subcenter. Treatments comprised factorial combinations of five compost rates (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 t·ha−1) and four rates of inorganic nitrogen fertilizer (0, 46, 92, and 138 kg·N·ha−1) laid out as a completely randomized design with three replications. Results showed that both the main and interaction effects of compost and mineral N fertilizer rates significantly affected the selected soil chemical properties and yield, and nitrogen concentration of maize. There were significant associations between plant parameters and soil nitrogen contents. The addition of 92 kg·ha−1·N + 10 t·ha−1 compost and 46 kg·ha−1·N + 10 t·ha−1 compost was the best treatments for loam and clay textured soils of the study areas, which improved shoot dry matter by 179.5 and 284.5%, compared to the unfertilized pot, respectively. From the results of this experiment, we concluded that the integrated application of compost and mineral nitrogen fertilizer enhanced soil chemical properties and thus improved nitrogen uptake and sustainable production of maize in the study areas.

The study entitled "Chromolaena odorata Compost Affected Soil Chemical and Rice Crop (Oryza sativa L.) hadbeen conducted in Padang City, West Sumatra. It was started in February 2015 to May 2015. The study aimed wasto examine the mechanism of amendment soil chemical properties and nutrient uptake of rice crop was fertilized ByChromolaena odorata Compost. The experiment was conducted by using Randomized Complete Design (RCD) inSplit Plot Design with the main plots were three varieties of rice crops namely; Cisokan (V1); Pandan Wangi (V2)and Red Cempo (V3). The subplot consisted three types of fertilizer composition; 5 Mg ha-1 Compost C. odorata(CCP) +100% Artificial Fertilizer Recommendation (AFR) (F1); 7.5 Mg ha-1 CCP+75% AFR (F2); 10 Mg ha-1 CCP+50% AFR (F3), with three replications. Data was analysed by using the F test significance level of 5%, and anHonestly Significant Difference test (HSD) α 5%. Parameters include analysis of soil chemical properties, manure,analysis of nutrient uptake and the weight of dry crop biomass. The study indicated there was amendment in soilchemical properties after the application of C. odorata, compost achieving optimal fertility for rice crop. Nitrogen andother minerals uptake in rice crop increased due to the increased provision of artificial fertilizers escorted by loweringthe dose of C.odorata compost. The ability about the nutrient uptake of rice crop is higher in rice Pandan Wangi andcauses the higher forage yield than rice Cisokan or Red Cempo.

<p>Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a variabilidade espacial das características produtivas do pasto de <em>Brachiária brizantha</em> cv. Marandu em vertente, em função da fertilidade do solo. O experimento foi conduzido na fazenda da Escola de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia da Universidade Federal do Tocantins. Para a caracterização química do solo foi realizada amostragem em pontos da área onde a malha regular possui uma distância média de 2 m de um ponto a outro longitudinalmente e doze metros perpendicularmente, perfazendo um total de 160 pontos. A forrageira também foi coletada seguindo malha regular, porém, com distância média de quatro metros longitudinalmente e 12 m perpendicularmente, totalizando 80 amostras. As análises realizadas foram às seguintes: pH (CaCl<sub>2</sub>); (matéria orgânica, fósforo disponível (P) e potássio trocável (K<sup>+</sup>); cálcio trocável (Ca<sup>2+</sup>), magnésio trocável (Mg<sup>2+</sup>) e alumínio trocável (Al<sup>3+</sup>). Os dados de forragem e de solo foram submetidos à estatística descritiva e a hipótese de normalidade dos dados que foi verificada pelo teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. A produção do pasto apresentou baixa dependência espacial, ajustando-se ao modelo esférico para todas as variáveis analisadas. Os coeficientes de variação foram moderados. A produção de forragem foi maior nas posições de topo e pedimento, em contrapartida os atributos químicos do solo, com exceção do pH, foram mais baixos nestas posições. Os atributos químicos do solo, também apresentaram baixa dependência espacial e, com exceção do pH, todos os atributos ajustaram-se ao modelo esférico.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Spatial variability of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of Marandú grass pasture in topossequence in Tocantins</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>The objective of this study was evaluating the spatial variability of the productive characteristics of pasture of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu in front, depending on soil fertility. The experiment was conducted at farm School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science the Federal University of Tocantins. For the chemical characterization of soil sampling was conducted in area of points where the regular grid has an average distance of 2 m from one point to another along and perpendicular twelve meters, a total 160 points. The fodder was also collected following regular grid, however, with an average distance of four meters and along 12 m perpendicular, totaling 80 samples. The analyzes were as follows: pH (CaCl<sub>2</sub>); (Organic matter, available phosphorus (P) and exchangeable potassium (K<sup>+</sup>), exchangeable calcium (Ca<sup>2+</sup>), exchangeable magnesium (Mg<sup>2+</sup>) and exchangeable aluminum (Al<sup>3+</sup>). Data forage and soil were submitted to descriptive statistics and data normality hypothesis was verified using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The production the pasture had low spatial dependence, setting the spherical model for all variables. The coefficients of variation were moderate. Forage production was higher in top positions and dismissal in return the soil chemical properties, except the pH, were lower in these positions. The soil chemical properties, also showed low spatial dependence and, with the exception of pH, all attributes set to spherical model.</p>
