The Use of Compost for the Reclamation of Saline and Alkaline Soils

? The results of a two year field experiment verified hypotheses concerning use of compost to improve saline and alkaline soils. The addition of compost to such soils was expected to release acids which would ultimately lead to the replacement of exchangeable sodium by calcium. The addition of compost would also stabilize soil structure and enhance plant growth. It was shown that the addition of municipal solid waste compost is equivalent, or even superior to the addition of gypsum, the common amendment used to reclaim alkaline soils. The overall effect of treatments on soil fertility was evident from yields of crops. The combined application of compost and gypsum raised yields to levels expected in good commercial fields.     

Compost Maturity Effects on Nitrogen and Carbon Mineralization and Plant Growth

Improved predictive relationships between compost maturity and nitrogen (N) availability are needed. A total of 13 compost samples were collected from a single windrow over a 91 d period. Compost stability and maturity were assessed using both standard chemical analyses (total C and N, mineral N, total volatile solids) and other methods (CO₂ evolution, commercial maturity kits, and neutral detergent fiber, and lignin). Compost N and carbon (C) were evaluated during a 130 d aerobic incubation in a sandy loam soil after each compost was applied at 200 mg total kg^?1 soil. The effect of compost maturity on plant growth was evaluated by growing two ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) crops and one barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) crop in succession in compost-amended soil under greenhouse conditions. Potential phytotoxicity from compost was assessed by growing tomato (Lypersicum esculentum L.) seedlings in compost-amended soil. Regression and correlation analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between compost maturity parameters, the rate and extent of net N and C mineralization, plant yield and N uptake, and phytotoxicity. Commonly used maturity parameters like total C, total N, and C:N ratio were poorly correlated with the rate and extent of mineralization, and with plant growth parameters. The N mineralization rate during the first 48 d of aerobic incubation was strongly correlated (r= ?0.82 to ?0.86) to compost fiber and lignin concentration, and to the Maturity Index (r=0.85). Trends in C mineralization were similar. There were few differences in C mineralization between composts after 48 d of aerobic incubation in soil. Ryegrass harvested 35 and 70 d after compost application was not strongly affected by compost maturity, and relatively immature composts were phytotoxic to tomato seedlings. Methods of characterizing compost maturity and stability that more realistically reflect the composting process are better predictors of N release and potential plant inhibition after incorporation into soil.     

Nitrogen Availability Seven Years After a High-Rate Food Waste Compost Application

Long-term effects of compost application are expected, but rarely measured. A 7-yr growth trial was conducted to determine nitrogen availability following a one-time compost application. Six food waste composts were produced in a pilot-scale project using two composting methods (aerated static pile and aerated, turned windrow), and three bulking agents (yard trimmings, yard trimmings + mixed paper waste, and wood waste + sawdust). For the growth trial, composts were incorporated into the top 8 to 10 cm of a sandy loam soil at application rates of approximately 155 Mg ha^?1 (about 7 yd³ 1000 ft²). Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb. ‘A.U. Triumph’) was seeded after compost incorporation, and was harvested 40 times over a 7-yr period. Grass yield and grass N uptake for the compost treatments was greater than that produced without compost at the same fertilizer N rate. The one-time compost application increased grass N uptake by a total of 294 to 527 kg ha^?1 during the 7-yr. field experiment. The greatest grass yield response to compost application occurred during the second and third years after compost application, when annual grass N uptake was increased by 93 to 114 kg ha^?1 yr^?1. Grass yield response to the one-time compost application continued at about the same level for Years 4 through 7, increasing grass N uptake by 42 to 62 kg ha^?1 yr^?1. Soil mineralizable N tests done at 3 and 6 yr. after application also demonstrated higher N availability with compost. The increase in grass N uptake accounted for 15 to 20% of compost N applied after 7-yr. for food waste composts produced with any of the bulking agents. After 7-yr, increased soil organic matter (total soil C and N) in the compost-amended soil accounted for approximately 18% of compost-C and 33% of compost-N applied. This study confirmed the long-term value of compost amendment for supplying slow-release N for crop growth.     

A Four-Year Study on Influence of Biosolids/MSW Cocompost Application in Less Productive Soils In Alberta: Nutrient Dynamics

Composting municipal solid waste and biosolids and applying it on arable land have become an alternative way to treat waste in large municipalities in North America. However, cost of compost transportation and application constrains the compost use on the land further away from where it is produced. A four-year experiment was conducted (1998-2001) in less productive soils in Alberta to determine the effect of once in four year application of cocompost on soil nutrient dynamics and crop N uptakes. There were three crop blocks: barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L), and canola (Brassica rapa), and they were rotated annually. The compost was only applied in 1998 at a rate of 50, 100 and 200 t/ha. Soil samples were taken in spring of every year after initial compost application to determine extractable N, P, K, S, Cu, Zn, Soil pH and EC. Each year, crops were harvested and N uptake was determined. Total concentrations of an array of heavy metals in the first year and fourth year after compost application were determined as well. The results showed that the release of N from the compost was high in the first year after compost application and then declined in each subsequent year. Similar to that release pattern was sulphur. The release of phosphorus from compost was steady throughout the four-year experimental time. Crop N uptake from compost application varied with crops and sites. The over all N use efficiency for three crops and two sites was 11%, 3%, 1% and 2% for the first and subsequent three years. The total heavy metal concentrations in the compost amended soils in the first and fourth year after compost application were similar, and they were below the standard of Canadian Fertilizer Act. Our results showed that N released from compost occurred mostly in the first two years after application, suggesting that an application frequency of once in every second year may be better than the once in every four year application strategy, especially with 100 t/ha application rate.     

Nitrogen mineralization from mature bio‐waste compost in vineyard soils. I. Long‐term laboratory incubation experiments

The steadily increasing utilization of bio‐waste compost in German viticulture requires a more detailed investigation of nitrogen (N) mineralization parameters for mature bio‐waste compost applied to vineyard soils. N mineralization kinetics were described with two superposing exponential equations. Long‐term aerobic laboratory incubation experiments of 12 soil‐compost substrates revealed that 5±2.8% of its total N content could be released from a rapidly decomposable fraction (half‐life period t₅₀ = 41 d at 15°C) and another 60±2.9% from a slower decomposable fraction (t₅₀ = 490 d). The remaining proportion (35%) is considered not to be released in the medium term. The obtained potentially mineralizable nitrogen of 65% of total compost N significantly differs from current fertilizer recommendations, which were adopted from calculations for agricultural conditions. For fertilizer recommendations in viticulture, we recommend the consideration of a higher N‐mineralization potential for organic fertilizers.     

Regeneration of Nitrogen Fertility In Disturbed Soils Using Composts

Soil disturbance often results in loss of soil organic matter and nitrogen (N) fertility, making revegetation of barren areas difficult. Yard waste composts are a potential source material to regenerate soil fertility so that revegetation success is improved. The N release behaviors of several compost materials produced within California were evaluated during a long-term, 586-day aerobic incubation. Two general types of compost were tested, including yard waste compost materials (lawn clippings and chipped brush) and cocomposted materials (biosolids bulked and composted with yard waste materials). Nitrogen release from composted material was measured using periodic soil solution extraction and soluble N analysis. Nitrogen release rates varied widely between source materials during the initial portions of the incubation period, with cocomposts having much greater release rates than the yard waste composts. Yard waste composts that were poorly cured or had high woody fiber content showed net immobilization of N during the initial incubation periods, which could potentially lead to N-limitations for plant growth in field conditions. Following additional curing in the soil, however, all yard waste compost materials had positive net N mineralization release rates. Release rates were similar to some of the native soils used as reference materials. The relationship of long-term aerobic N release and several other indicators of mineralizable or “bioavailable” N were evaluated, but the relationship of these other indicators with the aerobic incubation data was low. Because the cumulative N release from yard waste compost materials was a small fraction of the material's total N content, N leaching losses in field conditions are expected to be small and of short duration. Steady, long-term N release patterns were observed from composts throughout the second half of the study and would be expected to continue for an extended period in the field. Composts are shown to provide a suitable replacement source of slowly available N for plant establishment on drastically disturbed, low nutrient soils.     

Compost Production from Olive Tree Pruning Wastes Enriched with Phosphate Rock

Olive production is increasing very fast in the last 20 years in Al-Jouf region, northern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There are now more than 5 million olive trees in the productive stage. A huge amount of waste is produced annually from this sector, including pruning waste of olive trees and solid waste from olive oil mills of three-phase system. The waste of olive used to produce compost could be of safe disposal technique. Disposal of such waste is expensive and it causes some environmental hazards. Rock phosphate (RP), which is available in the same region, can be used to improve the nutrient value of the produced compost. In this experiment olive pruning waste was composted alone and in a mixture with different RP in two different ratios, namely 5% and 10%, on the dry weight basis of olive waste. Compost processing took place on plies for 8 months. Temperature and moisture were monitored daily while periodical samples were taken from all piles for testing pH, EC, C/N, and germination index. Composts in all treatments reached the theomorphic phase, which killed weed seeds and pathogens. The produced compost from all treatments fulfilled the requirements of maturity according to the California Compost Quality Council after 8 months of composting. In addition, the RP enhanced composting efficiency and improved the quality of the produced compost. Compost parameters met the standard requirements for the compost that was suitable for agriculture purposes with average values of pH ranging from (7.02–7.65) and EC (2.20–3.94 dS m^?1). Nutrient concentrations in the produced compost were N (1.28–1.79%), P (0.23–2.15%), and K (2.59–4.22%).     

Effects of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on Soil Properties and Vegetables Growth

ABSTRACT

This work investigates the impact of municipal solid waste compost (MSW-compost) application (0, 50, and 100 t/ha) on the growth, and on nutrient and trace elements content in lettuce and tomato plants grown in large, 40-L pots. Our findings showed inhibition of plants’ growth with increasing dose of MSW-compost, compared to plants receiving conventional fertilization. Growth inhibition was associated with a sharp decrease in soil NO₃–N content. On the other hand, a slower decrease in soil NO₃–N content occurred in non-planted pots amended with MSW-compost. These findings provide evidence that N immobilization and/or decreased N mineralization were responsible for inhibited growth by constraining N availability. With regard to the other macro-nutrients, K, P, Mg, Ca, and Fe, their contents in leaves of both crops were maintained at optimum levels. Higher zinc and copper content was measured in leaves of both crops but they did not exceed the optimum range for growth. No accumulation of trace elements was found in the fruits. The content of heavy metals in the tissues of plants grown in MSW-compost amended soil, remained at levels similar to those of the non-amended soil, suggesting that they do not pose a significant risk either for plant growth or public health. The findings of our study suggest that further emphasis should be given on the investigation of the factors regulating N mineralization and availability in order to avoid reductions in crop yield.     

Boron Fixation and Its Release in Soils and Bark Compost

Batch studies were conducted to investigate the fixing and release behavior of boron (B) in the soils from Haruo-cho, Kochi, and a bark compost (BC). Boron fixation on river sand (RS) was extremely low. The amount of B fixed was 6.3 mg kg⁻¹ for the greenhouse soil (GS). However, BC showed a 10-fold higher fixation of B (64.1 mg kg⁻¹) compared to GS, indicating that BC here displayed a significant capacity for B trapping. In GS, only around 9% of the adsorbed B was released during a 1-month period of incubation. Bark compost showed the highest amount of release during the incubation period, accounting for 64% of the adsorbed B. Moreover, the ratio of B release increased to 77% in the case of the soil mixed with BC. These results, suggest that different kinds of fixation-releasing mechanisms operate in the soil and BC. The B fixation on soil is considered as specific adsorption on minerals. A possible mechanism for B fixation on BC is ligand exchange. B-diol complexes might be formed with BC, and then after decomposition by microorganisms, they may release B during the incubation period.     

两种微生物菌剂对烟草废弃物高温堆肥腐熟进程的影响

以烟草废弃物为主要原料,添加合适比例猪粪进行高温堆肥试验,研究了烟草废弃物堆肥体系中加入两种微生物菌剂（NNY、FB）后的温度、总氮（T-N）、NH4＋-N、C/N、种子发芽指数（GI）的动态变化及其对烟草废弃物堆肥产品品质的影响。结果表明,添加微生物菌剂缩短了烟草废弃物堆肥达到高温的时间,延长了高温分解持续时间,增加全氮含量,加快物料NH4＋-N和C/N比的降低速率,提高种子发芽指数（GI）,加快了烟草废弃物堆肥腐熟化进程。纯烟草废弃物单独堆肥,最高温度为43℃,GI最高为78.4%。添加微生物菌剂NNY、FB的堆肥处理都在堆肥2d后进入高温分解阶段（〉50℃）,高温持续时间分别为15、12d,较仅添加合适猪粪比例处理进入高温分解阶段时间提前2d,高温持续时间分别延长5、2d。至堆肥11d,添加微生物菌剂NNY和FB的堆肥处理种子发芽指数较纯烟草废弃物处理分别增加了185.5%和117.7%,较仅添加合适比例猪粪处理分别增加了41.4%和7.6%。添加NNY、FB微生物菌剂的处理可以显著增加烟草废弃物堆肥产品的N、P、K养分含量,降低堆肥容重,提高堆肥总孔隙度和持水孔隙度,改善了堆肥产品的品质。两种微生物菌剂对烟草废弃物高温腐熟效果较优。
