Manure application is widely recognized as a method of improving soil structure and soil fertility due to additional organic matter and nutrient inputs. However, the salinity of animal manure may have a detrimental effect on soil aggregation. The objective of this study was to determine the ...
There have however been some interesting studies that show molasses does grow more pathogens, especially in compost tea. “Salmonellapopulations increased from 1 to over 1000 CFU ml−1in dairy manure compost tea with 1% molasses, and from 1 to over 350,000 CFU ml−1in chicken manure compos...
aThe label Natural or Organic Fertilizer does not automatically equal safe or effective for soil and plants. You can't just spread bat guano or chicken droppings or regular manure and get the same results you can from combining the right blend of properly processed fish and kelp and natural in...
how substituting livestock manure for synthetic N fertilizer affects crop productivity (crop yield; crop N uptake; N use efficiency), reactive N (Nr) losses (ammonia (NH3) emission, N leaching and runoff), GHG (methane, CH4; and nitrous oxide, N2O; carbon dioxide) emissions and soil organic...

Manure inputs into soil strongly affect soil microbial communities leading to shifts in microbial diversity and activity. It is still not clear whether these effects are caused mainly by the survival of microbes introduced with manure or by activation of the soil-borne microbiome. Here, we ...
Soil-Applied Nitrogen or Composted Manure Does Not Improve Soybean Hay Quality or Grain Yield.James Heitholt
Notably, the Cd and Zn stabilization efficiency of the EQC-manure-biochars was no better than that of the corresponding livestock-manures. These results suggest that the use of livestock-manure-derived biochar is not cost-effective for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil....
