Effect of some organic manure on the availability of nutritive elements in the newly reclaimed soils.
Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of some organic manures, i.e. sludge and town refuse on the availability of n, P, K, Fe, Zn, Mn and cu in the newly reclaimed sandy and calcareous soils and plants grown on it, under different sources of irrigation waters, i.e. fresh, drainage and sewage waters. The treatments were 0, 2, 4, 6 and 10% organic manures.
The results showed a pronounced increase in availability of N, K, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu in the soils treated with different organic manures, in addition to a slightly increased for P. Also, results indicated the superiority of sludge for increasing the available N, K, Fe, Mn and Cu as compared to the town refuse. Moreover, the release rate of N, K, Mn and Cu in sandy soil was more obvious than that in calcareous one.
Generally, irrigation with sewage water was more beneficial effect than irrigation with fresh and drainage waters. The dry matter yield of ryegrass at the first and second cut was enhanced by the addition of both organic manures, especially sludge which was exhibited a relatively high increase as compared to the town refuse one.
