FERTILIZER INPUTS IMPACT OF DIFFERENT BIO-SOLID SOURCES ON SUGAR BEET YIELD IN SANDY SOIL

FERTILIZER INPUTS IMPACT OF DIFFERENT BIO-SOLID SOURCES ON SUGAR BEET YIELD IN SANDY SOIL

In order to determine different bio solid nutrient (macro and micronutrients) inputs and sugar beet productivity, field trials were conducted to investigate the effect of N application as sub-optimal level (66% of the recommended rate) when combined with three bio-solids (plant compost farmyard manure (FYM) and chicken manure) at four levels (3, 6, 9 and 12 t fed-1) in newly reclaimed sandy soil. The results showed that the total N content on a dry solids basis, indicated that chicken manure contained 31% more N compared with the average content in FYM and 79% compared to the plant compost. Plant compost and FYM supplied similar amounts of total P in the dry solids. FYM applied to the field trials contained more than four times the amount of K (0.62% ds) compared with other bio solids (0.14% ds). As expected, the concentrations of trace elements in the plant compost are larger than for FYM. The estimated N application from plant compost ranged between (14 - 55.8), Farmyard manure (22.6 - 90) and chicken manure (30.7 - 122.8) kg N fed-1 according to the rate of application.  Chicken manure contained the greatest rates of Fe, Mn and Zn per ton or cubic meter. However, FYM contained the greatest Cu rates applied to the soil.         Application of farmyard manure to sugar beet significantly surpassed either plant compost or chicken manure in plant height, root length root, shoot and biological yields per plant and per feddan. The data show that regardless the bio solid type it is favorable to apply the organic manures up to 9 t fed-1 (15 m3 fed-1). The greatest root and shoot yields per plant and per feddan was attained when FYM was combined with the reduced rate of N. The data also show the consistency of these biosolids as inputs for sugar beet production. The inspection of the data revealed that biosolid application effect could contribute in sugar beet yield plant-1 with 50, 42.4 and 48.9 % and 50.41 and 50% per feddan for plant compost, farmyard manure and chicken manure, respectively showing the practicality and possibility of safe use of these bio-solids in minimizing the risks of inorganic fertilizers. It could be concluded from this study that biosolids apply substantial macro and micro nutrients with agronomic and economic value to such poor soils. Supplementation with this major plant nutrient is recommended where they are frequently applied to soil to maintain crop productivity.
