Improvement of tropical soils fertility by amendment with organic and mineral fertilizers
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The transformation of urban waste into useful and exploitable organic matter such as compost may lead to an increase in agricultural production. In that context, compost made from pig manure was prepared and used in combination with urea for the cultivation of turnip (Brassica rapa). According to the physico-chemical parameters of the compost, this latter was not matured. However, its use has led to a times increase in the microbial population of the amended soil. Furthermore, the soil amendment with ‘compost’ or ‘compost + urea’ significantly (p < ) improved crop yields whereas amendment with ‘urea’ gave yields (p > ) similar to the untreated soil (control).
