Biochar Affected by Composting with Farmyard Manure

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2013
Biochar applications to soils can improve soil fertility by increasing the soil's cation exchange capacity (CEC) and nutrient retention. Because biochar amendment may occur with the applications of organic fertilizers, we tested to which extent composting with farmyard manure increases CEC and nutrient content of charcoal and gasification coke.

Ammonia nitrogen emission from land spread farmyard manure

International Congress Series, 2006
Abstract Ammonia nitrogen emission generated from land applied FYM was measured under three air velocity conditions (1, 2 and 3 m/s) and application rates (20, 40 and 60 t/ha) by means of three Open Large Dynamic Chambers. Measurements were carried out in all four seasons.

Physical properties of farmyard manure at different depths of manure pit

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, 2022
Farmyard manure refers to the decomposed mixture of dung and urine of farm animals along with litter and left over material from roughages or fodder fed to the cattle. On an average well composted farmyard manure contains 0.5 per cent N, 0.2 per cent P2O5 and 0.5 per cent K2O (Reddy, 2005).

Anaerobic Composting of Farmyard Manure as Affected by Chicken Manure, Urea and Waste Water

University of Khartoum Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2023
the objectives of this study were to investigate the stage ofmaturity and to determine nutrient contents of farmyard manure (FYM)composted with 2% chicken manure (CHM), 1% urea, and 25% wastewater, during the summer seasons of 1997 and 1998. The treatments werereplicated thrice in a completely randomized design.

Water extracts of fresh and mature farmyard manure

Biological Wastes, 1988
Abstract Water extracts of fresh and 3-month stabilized FYM were examined. The maturation process produced a significant increase in the water-soluble dry matter, organic C and N, pH and EC. No significant difference was found in phenol content, whereas spectroscopic measurements of the extract indicated a higher condensation of organic components ...

Apparent nitrogen fertilizer replacement value of grass–clover leys and of farmyard manure in an arable rotation. Part II : farmyard manure

Soil Use and Management, 2016
Abstract The apparent nitrogen fertilizer replacement value of farmyard manure ( NFRV FYM ) was studied in a long‐term experiment on a loamy sand soil at Grabow, Poland. The experiment combined five rates of

Mineralization of Composted15N-Labelled Farmyard Manure During Soil Incubations

Biological Agriculture & Horticulture, 1994
ABSTRACT Fresh farmyard manure (C-to-N ratio = 20.3) was composted in the presence of 15N-labelled (NH4)2SO4 using a bench-scale reactor under temperature conditions which reproduce the evolution of compost in a pile. C and N mineralization of composted farmyard manure (C-to-N ratio = 12.5) was monitored in two silty soils during an aerobic incubation ...

Nitrogen Fixation by Farmyard Manures

Nature, 1947
IN previous communications1 it was reported that the value of farmyard manure (cow dung) is due not only to its nitrogen content but also to its power to fix nitrogen of the air. Our field experiments show that when wet, fresh collected cow dung is added to soil at the rate of 25 tons per acre, 33 lb.
