| description | This study evaluates the effect of soil moisture content on mineralization process of
composted and pelletized chicken manure on pH, nitrate and ammonium contents at a sandy soil. To
establish the mineralisation rate of the composted chicken manure in the soil a short soil incubation
method was used.
The objectives of the study were: (1) To assess the effects of three types of composted chicken
manure on soil pH at different moisture contents conditions, (2) To assess the effects of the three
types of composted poultry manure on soil easily soluble mineralised N forms (nitrate and
ammonium) at different moisture contents. For study of mineralisation rate of composted and
admixtured chicken manure pellet a short soil incubation experiment was set up. Beside the control
three treatments, each containing 12 pots (three replicates for soil samples with four different
moisture content; 40 %, 50 %, 60 % and 70 %) were used. The pH value and nitrate and ammonium
contents and their changing were assessed after the first, second, third and fourth weeks respectively.
In each of the four experiment blocks, the soil samples were subjected to four treatments: control,
P+K, P+K “C”, and Humin Plus.
Statistical analysis of the data showed that the three manure types had significant impact on
the soil nitrate and ammonium levels at different soil moisture conditions. No significant effect on soil
pH was identified during the experiment period. This implies that in order to achieve optimum
benefits from application of chicken manure on the farm, it is necessary to do soil testing to assess the
nitrate and ammonium status of the soil first. This can provide a basis to make a well-informed
decision on which manure is the best in the supply of either nitrate and ammonium to the soil
depending on the soil amendment needs. |
