Manure increases soil organic matter because it has nutrients plant require for adequate growth (N-P-K, micronutrients), so plants grow better and faster, producing more roots and crop residue to build soil carbon. Manure consists of carbon residues which the plants can use in the form of car...
followed by cow and horse manure. Rabbits and alpacas have very efficient digestive systems, and people commonly refer to their manures as “cold manures.” This term means that they can be applied raw
black gram, cowpea and moth bean.Vigna aconitifoliais an edible species of moth bean that is underexploited in spite of having nutritional portfolio. Agronomically, it prospers in tropical environment and cultivated on infertile soil too. Consequently, it is grown...
Added to soils, biochar is a means to increase soil carbon stocks as well as improve soil fertility and other ecosystem properties. NETS/GGR Soil carbon sequestration or enrichment Growing cover crops, leaving crop residues to decay in the field, applying manure or compost, using low- or no-...
of the well-known common names of the plant areSalad mustard, kedlock, yellow mustard, yellow or white mustard, Wild mustard, Salade mustard, charlock and rough mustard. The plant is grown for its seeds, and is used to make the condiment mustard, as fodder crop, or as a green manure....
Protect the yard by creating a deep barrier in the soil so that the roots do not spread far. 1 to ½ of space must be kept between the plants. Too much of fertilizers or fresh manure will encourage rust which is harmful for the plant. ...
The judicious application of biochar is paramount for reducing ammonia emissions in urea treatments, enhancing soil pH in liquid digestate and pelletized chicken manure treatments, and exerting a substantial influence on plant biomass. These findings underscore the potential of biochar to augment soil ...

We also assessed the correlations of the different labile C and N pools with other soil chemical properties linked to soil quality. Results and discussions: The results showed that planting basins with manure significantly increased mean WEOC (171.53 g g1), HWEOC (3...
However, the potential of annual manure applications to increase stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) needs to be better understood. In this study, we evaluated the long-term (1991–2012) effects of various fertilization regimes on crop yield, and SOC and TN in the ...
