...Wheat growth and yield also can be improved through combined application of inorganic fertilize and poultry manure (Abbas et al. 2012). Nitrate (NO3 ) is a primary source of nitrogen to crop. Unfortunately, it is vulnerable to leaching because of its chemical characteristics. Therefore, about 90–98% of nitrogen leached from soil is in the form of nitrate. Resultantly, reductions in nitrogen use efficiency and groundwater contamination (Sheng-wei et al. 2012). Ground water contamination, due to nitrate leaching, has become a major concern worldwide, mainly because of the intensive agriculture production including application of N fertilizers and organic wastes (Di and Cameron 2002). Ortega, Alfaro, and Martinez-Lagos (2016) also reported that it is necessary to adjust pasture’s N fertilization considering the soil N contribution via mineralization and that this improves resources efficiency while maintaining pasture productivity. Leaching losses of nitrate from soil into water not only represent a loss of soil fertility but also a threat to the wider environment and human health (Cameron, Di, and Moir 2013). Nitrate that enters drinking water supplies can create a risk of methemoglobinemia in babies and has also been linked to cancer and heart disease. The extent of nitrate leaching is strongly influenced by the various land use and management practices, fertilizer-N input, plowing operations, and manure application in an arable system. Khan et al. (2017) also reported that different tillage practices also influenced the leaching of nutrients along with nitrates. They also stated that the soil properties such as soil bulk density, particle density, soil organic carbon, infiltration rate, percent porosity, and soil saturated hydraulic conductivity were affected by different tillage practices. Phullan et al. (2017) also reported that the combined application of FYM at 6 ton ha and mineral fertilizer at 120–90 kg N-P2O5 was a good practice regarding the wheat production and sustainable soil health....

The use of N fertilizers is one of the main contributors to the increased agricultural production in the world in the past few decades. Global N fertilizer consumption to the atmosphere, increased from nearly zero in the 1940s to about 80 310Mg N in 1996. According to a survey, global utilization of nitrogenous fertilizers is more than 80 million metric tons per year, which is mainly used to increase crop growth and yield, whereas 92% Pakistani farmers used inorganic nitrogen fertilizer and 78% of total fertilizer used in Pakistan is nitrogenous fertilizer (FAO 2010). In most developing countries, fertilizer use is generally low, but for certain crops (such as hybrid maize, potato, banana, and vegetables) fertilizer use is very high. For example, in Pakistan, the average fertilizer application is 148 kg nutrients (N + P) ha (NFDC 2004), whereas 300 kg N + 87 kg phosphorus (P) + 125 kg potassium (K) ha are being used for potato and hybrid maize. This might result in physical non-equilibrium and chemical sorption related non-equilibrium transport of applied plant nutrients especially NO3 − in the soil profile (Hassan et al. 2010). The soil organic matter content is among one of the most important soil qualities and productivity indicators in agriculture, higher organic matter in the soil results in higher organic carbon and total carbon content and is controlled by mineralization. It is thus a vital soil property essential to erosion control, water infiltration, soil structure stabilization, and conservation of soil nutrients (Magdoff, and Ray 2004). According to Di and Cameron (2006), large quantities of organic wastes are applied to agricultural land for disposal and nutrient recycling....
