Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2014-2015 at a farm field located in Swabi Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, with the main aim to evaluate the influence of different organic manures on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), with four replications. The treatments were: T1 (control, no manure), T2 (Cattle manure), T3 (Poultry manure), and T4 (Sheep manure). All the organic manures were applied at the rate of 10 tha. At maturity, plant height (cm), number of grains per spike, grain yield, and biological yield were recorded. Results led to the conclusion that T3 (poultry manure) gave the best results, as compared to other treatments. The values of plant height, biological yield and grain yield were 87 cm, 13.66 tha and 5.750 tha, respectively, for poultry manure treatment. Results for number of grains per spike and 1000-grain weight were found non-significant in the prevailing soil condition.

TL;DR: In this article, an experiment was carried out during 2018 growing season in Ismailia Governorate, Egypt, which aimed to study the effect of different sources from sediment i.e., Nasser Lake (NLS) and El Shabab Canal (ECS) solely or in combination with natural fertilizers (RP, KF + vermicompost) on availability of P and K, yield and nutrient uptake by maize plants under sandy soil conditions.
Abstract: Afield experiment was carried out during 2018 growing season in Ismailia Governorate, Egypt. The experiment aimed to study the effect of different sources from sediment i.e., Nasser Lake (NLS) and El Shabab Canal (ECS) solely or in combination with natural fertilizers i.e., rock phosphate (RP) and potassium feldspar (KF) + vermicompost (Ver) on availability of P and K, yield and nutrient uptake by maize plants under sandy soil conditions. Application of Nasser Lake sediment mixed with RP+ KF in the presence of Ver. gave the highest vales of stover, grains, ear yield, biological yield and N,P and K-uptake by maize plants compared to different treatments. The application of nature fertilizers i.e., RP, KF and RP+ KF to NasserLake sediment and El Shabab Canal sediment increased available P and K in soil after harvest as compared to the untreated ones under application of vermicompost.

TL;DR: A research review was carried out on the effectiveness of P fertilizers on wheat crop in Pakistan and almost all the researchers in all areas indicated that P fertilizer significantly improved the growth as well as yield parameters of wheat crop as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Phosphorus is that element of periodic table, which is extensively found in nature and along with Nitrogen (N) and potassium represents the overall composition of plants and animal life. Phosphorus performed different metabolic activities in plants and is one of the key elements for the maturation of plants and boosting up the larger quantities. As it has a vital role in the metabolism and energy production reaction and can survive the unfavorable environmental effects so cause increase in yield. A research review was carried out on the effectiveness of P fertilizers on wheat crop in Pakistan. Almost all of the researchers in all areas indicated that P fertilizers significantly improved the growth as well as yield parameters of wheat crop. But the optimum rate of P fertilizer at which highest yield recorded was different for each area, soil and environmental condition. Although these findings on P fertilization representing many capable results regarding to yield and yield components of wheat but still further research is strongly recommended to evaluate the dynamics of P in soil as well as the interaction effect of P with other micro and macro nutrients.

TL;DR: In this paper , a field experiment was carried out during winter 2019-2020 at the AMK Research Farm (Palatoo) Mardan, KPK (Pakistan) to investigate the combined effect of phosphorous (PS) and organic sources (OSs) on wheat productivity under different irrigation regimes.
Abstract: Crop wastes could be applied in conjunction with synthetic fertilizers to satisfy crop nutritional needs and enhance soil fertility. A field experiment was carried out during winter 2019–2020 at the AMK Research Farm (Palatoo) Mardan, KPK (Pakistan) to investigate the combined effect of phosphorous (PS) and organic sources (OSs) on wheat productivity under different irrigation regimes. The experimental factors were: two irrigation regimes (limited and full irrigation), three inorganic sources of phosphorus (triple super phosphate (TSP), single super phosphate (SSP) and di-ammonium phosphate (DAP)) applied at 90 kg ha−1, and three organic amendments (farmyard manure (FYM), mung bean residue (MBR), and canola residue (CR)) applied at a rate of 10 t ha−1. A control plot (no phosphorus or organic supply) was included. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was adopted. Among the fertilization strategies, SSP + FYM outperformed all other P fertilizers combined with legume or nonlegume residues in terms of grains per spike−1 (52), thousand-grain weight (41.6 g), biological yield (9.7 t ha−1), and grain yield (4 t ha−1). Under full irrigation, improved yield, yield components, and profits were obtained compared to the limited irrigation regime. Three clusters were obtained after applying an Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) conferred the positive effects of inorganic P with FYM on the wheat yield and its related parameters. This study indicated that the productivity of wheat under the SSP + FYM fertilization strategy was found to be more economical with respect to the benefit–cost ratio (BCR). The combined application of SSP + FYM was more profitable in terms of a higher BCR (3.25) than other treatments under the full irrigation regime.

TL;DR: A review article brings together the current information necessary for effective composting of organic wastes from different origins with diversified characteristics under various situations, and covers the schematic description of well known composting systems, and various factors controlling the process as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Largely accessible organic wastes can be turned into valuable compost product for raising crops organically on one hand, and get them disposed off safely at the other end. Straight use of organic wastes has tribulations like transportation and handling, wider C:N ratio, high application rates, nutrient overloading, weed seeds, pathogens, and metal toxicities. Composting bestows a tactic for coping high volumes of organic wastes in environmentally sound and desirable manners. Composted materials are remarkably regarded for their ability to improve soil health and plant growth, and suppress pathogens and plant diseases. Currently several composting systems have become available; ranging from a crude and slow windrows method, to the most speedy and computer monitored in-vessel system. Scientific investigations of this biological cum chemical process have reached to molecular level. Value addition of compost through beneficial microorganisms, mineral materials and fertilisers is also being considered. The nature and composition of materials put into composting is imperative for its quality rationale. On the whole, principles and processes governing composting are not so straightforward that ordinary enterprises could develop efficient composting facilities for the treatment of organic wastes. In this scenario, accessibility of comprehensive information to the scientific community as well as environmental protection agencies is imperative. This review article brings together the current information necessary for effective composting of organic wastes from different origins with diversified characteristics under various situations. It also covers the schematic description of well known composting systems, and various factors controlling the process.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effectiveness of different levels of applied poultry manure on the growth and yield of spring maize finds number of cobs per plant was affected non significantly by the application of different level of PM, while all others recorded parameters were significantly affected by application of PM.
Abstract: Poultry manure has long been recognized the most desirable organic fertilizer. It improves soil fertility by adding both major and essential nutrients as well as soil organic matter which improve moisture and nutrient retention. The present paper investigates the effectiveness of different levels of applied poultry manure (PM) on the growth and yield of spring maize (Zea mays L). Research was carried out at the Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during spring season 2007. The experiment consisted of six treatments: control, 4 t ha -1 PM, 6 t ha -1 PM, 8 t ha -1 PM, 10 t ha -1 PM and 12 t ha -1 PM. Experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Number of cobs per plant was affected non significantly by the application of different levels of PM. While all others recorded parameters including plant height, number of rows per cob, number of grains per row, 1000-grain weight, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index were significantly affected by application of PM. Maximum values for all these parameters were recorded with the application of 12 t ha -1 PM.

TL;DR: Application of manure showed that application of manure did not affect seed germination but resulted in a significant increase in dry biomass at the two growth stages and in grain yield and nutrient uptake, similar to the inorganic N and P fertilization.
Abstract: Liquid cattle (Bos taurus) manure should be applied to soils in such a manner that would improve soil fertility and crop production without causing salinity problems or increasing NO - 3 levels. This study investigated the influence of liquid cattle manure on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yecora) germination, growth, and nutrient utilization. Four treatments were applied in the same plots in a 4-yr field experiment with winter wheat: (i) application of 40 Mg ha -1 yr -1 liquid dairy cattle manure (wet weight basis) before sowing; (ii) single application of 120 and 26 kg ha -1 yr -1 N and P, respectively, as inorganic fertilizers before sowing; (iii) as in ii, but with split application of N, half the amount before sowing and the rest at tillering; and (iv) no fertilization. The biological evaluators used to compare the effect of the treatments were (i) number of seedlings per square meter at tillering for the first year only and (ii) dry biomass at heading and harvest; plant concentration and uptake of N, P, and K; and grain yield for every year of experimentation. The results showed that application of manure did not affect seed germination but resulted in a significant increase in dry biomass at the two growth stages and in grain yield and nutrient uptake, similar to the inorganic N and P fertilization. The amounts of soil available NO 3 -N and P were significantly increased while at the end of the field experiment, soil salinity, organic C, and total N levels remained unchanged.
