cow manurepoultry manureprivet residuecypress residuesInvestigating available nutrients and non-essential elements in manures is important for safe management of animal and plant waste. Therefore, this study was carried out to chemically characterize cow manure (CM) and poultry manure (PM) after co-...
The aim of the study was to assess the changes in daily productivity, chemical composition, i.e. cholesterol content and parameters of technological suitability of milk obtained in the intensive and traditional systems in the following stages of lactation. A total of 2,112 milk samples of which...
An experiment was conducted in the Teaching and Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Imo State University, Owerri, Nigeria to investigate the potentials of using poultry manure and cow dung as bioremediants for crude oil polluted soils. The experiment was arranged ...
Those changes in which new substances are formed, are called chemical changes. The properties of new substances formed in chemical changes are entirely different from those of the original substances. During chemical change, a substance undergoes a change in its chemical composition (or change in ch...
Cattle manure deposition provides nutrients, including nitrogen (N), which are often limited in oligotrophic mires. N enrichment may cause nitrous oxides (N2O) release, accelerate peat decomposition, alter the vegetation composition, and favour disturbance-tolerant species while diminishing sensitive and ...
This study was conducted to find out the combination effects of Merapi volcanic ash, cow manure and mineral soil on organic carbon, total N, organic matter and growth of maize (Zea mays L.). During April to July 2011, in the pot under the glass house at Faculty of Agricultural ...
BackgroundLittle is known about the link between the fungal community and phosphorus fractions when land use is converted from cropland to grassland in saline-alkali soil in northeastern China. Therefore, in this study, the diversity, composition, and function of fungi, as well as phosphorus fract...

Amongst various organic manures, poultry manure produced significantly higher plant growth, yield, mineral and proximate composition of okra because of its high soil chemical properties which could be related to its lowest C: N ratio, lignin and lignin: N ratio. Results also showed that okra ...
The soil texture is loam with a fractional composition of 50, 30, and 20% of sand, silt and clay particles, respec- tively. The baseline soil analysis revealed high values of pH, calcium carbonate, EC, and SAR, moderate CEC, and low OM and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu) (...
