Amendment with Burkina Faso phosphate rock-enriched composts alters soil chemical properties and microbial structure, and enhances sorghum agronomic performance
Abstract Low soil available phosphorus (P) severely limits crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. The present study evaluated phosphate rock-enriched composts as locally available low-cost fertilizers for sorghum production. The treatments consisted of sorghum straw, compost (COMP), phosphate rock (...

| description | Abstract Low soil available phosphorus (P) severely limits crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. The present study evaluated phosphate rock-enriched composts as locally available low-cost fertilizers for sorghum production. The treatments consisted of sorghum straw, compost (COMP), phosphate rock (BPR), BPR-enriched compost (P-COMP), BPR-rhizosphere soil-enriched compost (P-COMP-SOIL), nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium treatment (NPK, 60–39–25), and control (NK, 60–25). Sorghum straw and compost were applied at 1.34 tons ha−1. N, P, and K in all treatments, excluding the control, were adjusted to 60, 39, and 25 kg ha−1, with urea, BPR, and KCl, respectively. Sorghum vr. kapelga was cultivated and soil samples were collected at the S5, S8, and S9 growth stages. P-COMP-SOIL and NPK yielded better sorghum yields than the other treatments. The rhizosphere soil of P-COMP-SOIL had high abundance of soil bacteria and AMF, and genes involved in P solubilization, such as: acid phosphatase (aphA), phosphonatase (phnX), glucose dehydrogenase (gcd), pyrroloquinoline quinone (pqqE), phosphate-specific transporter (pstS). The superior performance of the P-COMP-SOIL was associated with its higher available P content and microbial abundance. Multivariate analysis also revealed vital contributions of N, carbon, and exchangeable cations to sorghum growth. Soils could be amended with phosphate rock-rhizosphere soil-enriched composts, as an alternative to chemical fertilizers. |
