Agronomic effectiveness of poultry manure composts. Mahimairaja, S.; Bolan, N. S.; Hedley, M. J. Commun-soil-sci-plant-anal v.26, p.1843-1861. (1995). Includes references.

Winter cabbage and summer maize were used as test crops. For the first season's winter cabbage, the phosphocompost and sulphocompost were approximately 12% and 60% as effective as urea and both composts were equally effective as urea for the second season's maize crop. The greater agronomic effectiveness of sulphocompost could be attributed to the improved nitrogen (N)-use efficiency increased PR dissolution and improved S nutrition. Distribution of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) in the soil profile of field plots indicated greater potential for winter leaching of N from urea than poultry manure which could be the reason for the improved residual value of the manure reflected in summer maize yields. The results from the field experiments indicated that composting poultry manure with So and PR not only reduces environmental pollution associated with manure application, but also increases the agronomic effectiveness of manure.

Descriptor: refuse-; refuse-compost; chemical-composition; organic-compounds; carbon-; nitrogen-; spain- Abstract: The composition of the organic matter of four composted urban refuses (one of them amended with CaCO3 in the composting process) from Spanish industrial composting plants was studied. Fundamental components and C-bearing compounds (humic substances) were assessed by classical fractionation methods; N-bearing compounds were determined by acid step-wise hydrolyses. Cellulose and hemicelluloses largely predominated over lignin, which was the second important component, followed by water-soluble compounds, the content of lipids being very low. Water-soluble compounds represented 3-14% of the organic C. Alkali-soluble compounds were quite low since humic compounds (humic and fulvic acids) only represented about 17% of the organic C (24% in the amended compost); humic acids predominated over fulvic acids, the most polymerized compounds being higher than the less polymerized ones. The predominant fraction (about 70% of the organic C) was the insoluble one which comprised unhumified compounds, insolubilizable humin, microbial humin (1.4-9.0% of the organic C) and residual humin (20-40% of the organic C). The extraction percentage was very low whereas the degree of humification was close to 50%. About 85% of the organic N was hydrolysable. Hydrolysable unidentified-N was the predominant organic N form, followed by alpha- aminoacid-N. NH4+-N from organic compounds and hexosamine-N were very small and amide-N was not detectable. According to the percentage of humification the four composted.NAL Call No.:TD930.A32 ***************************************************************** 10. Carbon and nitrogen mineralization in an acid soil fertilized with composted urban refuses. Beloso, M. C.; Villar, M. C.; Cabaneiro, A.; Carballas, M.; Gonzalez Prieto, S. J.; Carballas, T.

Descriptor: refuse-; refuse-compost; organic-fertilizers; acid-soils; carbon-; biological-activity-in-soil; spain- Abstract: The C- and N-mineralization kinetics of a Cambisol over granite fertilized with four composted urban refuses (one of them amended with CaCO3 in the composting process) as well as the degradation kinetics of the wastes themselves were studied. The C-mineralization was determined by incubation of the samples for 42 days at 28 degrees C in a thermostat bath and measurement of the CO2 evolved from the samples. The N-mineralization was performed by aerobic incubation in an incubator at the same temperature and for the same time as in the case of C. Addition of the composts to the soil significantly increased the C-mineralization rate. About 30% of the organic C of the composts (only 16% in the amended compost) was mineralized after 6 weeks incubation. Most mineralization took place in the first 3 weeks for only about 3% of the organic C (0.9% in the amended compost) was mineralized between weeks 3 and 6. The amended compost was the only one that stimulated the soil N-mineralization rate. The other composts provoked N-immobilization (or denitrification) during the incubation and although an increase of the net inorganic-N production was detected after week 2, the net N-mineralization rate was almost nil at the end of the incubation. Net nitrification predominated over net ammonification in the soil with or without addition of composts. The non-amended compost behaviours seem to show that they had not undergone enough stabilization; as for the amended composted refuse its singular behaviour could be due to its high carbonate content.NAL Call No.:TD930.A32 ***************************************************************** 11.

Compost extract added to microcosms may simulate community-level controls on soil microorganisms involved in element cycling. Janzen, R. A.; Cook, F. D.; McGill, W. B.

Descriptor: soil-bacteria; azospirillum-; bacillus-; azospirillum-brasilense; sulfate-reducing-bacteria; composts-; extracts-; nitrogen-fixation; denitrification-; sulfate-; reduction-; phosphorus-; nutrient-uptake; phosphorus-solubilization Abstract: Interactions among populations of soil microorganisms might alter soil microenvironments sufficiently to allow populations collectively to inhabit sites which individually they could not inhabit. We tested the hypothesis that soluble microbial products in soil microenvironments mediate commensalistic interactions among populations involved in N2-fixation, denitrification, sulfate reduction and P solubilization. We measured the growth of bacteria in microcosms amended with sterile compost extract. Of the 7 Azospirillum isolates tested, 3 fixed more N2 when amended with 50 micrograms compost extract-C ml-1 medium. Fixation of N2, by one isolate amended with NH4Cl or compost extract decreased with increasing concentrations (0.15-15 micrograms N ml-1 medium) of NH4Cl, but not with increasing concentration of compost extract. Optical density of cultures of Bacillus sp. increased 6-fold with addition of 11 micrograms compost extract-C ml-1 medium under denitrifying conditions. Adding 6 micrograms compost extract-C ml-1 medium stimulated the growth of all 10 sulfate-redudng enrichment cultures, and three did not grow without compost extract. Addition of 10 micrograms compost extract-C ml-1 medium, however, increased microbial-P in only one of the 10 cultures in P-limiting medium. This evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that exchange of growth factors among populations in microenvironments contributes to control of microorganisms involved in element cycling.NAL Call No.:S592.7.A1S6 ***************************************************************** 20.

Fertilizer salts, lime, and manure inoculum were used as supplements. Chemical and biological changes in the variously treated composts were studied by determining the amount of nitrate and ammonia nitrogen and the number of heterotrophic micro-organisms at various intervals. Hydrogen-ion concentration was also determined. The well-decomposed Rose and Montezuma mucks were not greatly affected by any of the treatments. The use of lime alone caused no significant chemical or biological change. Superphosphate plus potassium chloride with and without lime decreased nitrates, but had no effect on the number of heterotrophic micro-organisms. Some of the composts received ammonium sulfate either alone or with a complete fertilizer. Nitrate accumulation was high in these cases due mainly to the nitrification of part of the applied ammonium sulphate. The use of ammonium sulfate alone or with superphosphate, potassium chloride, and lime temporarily increased the number of bacteria but decreased the fungi. The manure inoculum had very little effect, but any differences noted were in favor of increased nitrates and micro-organisms. The control composts showed a rapid accumulation of nitrates, a low content of ammonia, and large numbers of bacteria and fungi. An application of lime to the poorly decomposed Cicero peat caused nitrate accumulation. This effect was not demonstrated consistently by any of the other treatments. Lime alone or with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium greatly increased the number of bacteria during the first part of the incubation period. All of the treatments except lime alone and manure increased the ammonia content and the number of fungi in these composts. The application of complete fertilizer with lime hastened the decomposition of straw by immediately increasing the number of micro- organisms. Nitrates accumulated in these composts. Lime decreased and the fertilizer salts increased acidity in the composts. Potassium chloride depressed the accumulation of nitrates in the Rose and Montezuma mucks. It proved to be toxic to the development of autotrophic organisms. This effect was not observed when either potassium sulfate or dipotassium acid phosphate were used.NAL Call No.:4-AM34P ***************************************************************** 35.

Includes references. Descriptor: dendranthema-; phosphorus-; nutrient-availability; determination-; composts-; peat-; mixtures-; testing-; extraction-; extractants-; comparisons- Abstract: A trial was carried out with compost and compost/peat mixtures to test several extraction methods for the estimation of availability of phosphorus (P). The test plant was Dendranthema grandiflorum. All composts had a high pH and salt content. Amounts of P extracted by different extraction methods decreased in the order: Formate < CAL < NH4-acetate < CaCl2/DTPA < CaCl2. Dilution of compost with peat decreased pH and increased availability of P. The better availability of P caused by dilution with peat was not reflected by the Formate-, CAL-, and NH4-acetate method. These acid and well-buffered extraction solutions overestimate P, and are therefore not suited to estimate availability of P in composts and compost/peat mixtures. Weak extraction solutions, like CaCl2 and CaCl2/DTPA, gave results which showed a good correlation with P content of plants and P uptake. The advantage of the latter method compared with CaCl2 is the extraction of amounts of P comparable to amounts taken up by the plants. Therefore, of all the extraction methods tested, the CaCl2/DTPA method showed the best suitability to estimate the availability of P in composts and compost/peat mixtures.NAL Call No.:S590.C63 ***************************************************************** 37.
