Organic production of horticultural crops with green manure, composted farmyard manure and organic fertiliser

Biological Agriculture & Horticulture, 2017
AbstractA three-year organic crop rotation was set up in a field with sandy loam soil, with a cover crop of rye and vetch grown over the three autumn/winter seasons for green manure, followed by potato and lettuce (1st year), Swiss chard and turnip (2nd year), and Portuguese cabbage and carrot (3rd year).

Modelling N mineralization from green manure and farmyard manure from a laboratory incubation study

Ecological Modelling, 2011
Abstract Predicting N mineralization from organic manures like farmyard manure (FYM) is more difficult than from fresh organic materials like crop residues, as the manures vary greatly in composition. A laboratory incubation experiment was carried out for 98 days at 30 °C under aerobic conditions to study the effects on N dynamics of Gliricidia ...

Adsorption on soil of dissolved organic carbon from farmyard manure

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1998
Abstract The adsorption of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) extracted from farmyard manure by ten acidic agricultural soils varying for different chemical properties was measured. Batch studies were conducted under the following conditions: 23°C, pH 5.5, a 10:1 solution (0–18 mg DOC l−1)/soil ratio and an ionic strength of 10−3 M NaCl.

Effect of farmyard manure and conjoint application of farmyard manure and microbial consortium on lindane residues in soil, drainage water, and crops in lysimeters

Toxicological & Environmental Chemistry, 2012
The efficacies of farmyard manure (FYM) application alone and the conjoint use of FYM and microbial consortiums (Gordonia sp.) were evaluated for reducing lindane residues in soil, plants and percolated water in lysimeters cropped with maize and rice.

[Change of farmyard manure application in Shaanxi Province].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2004
The change of farmyard manure (FYM) application in Shaanxi Province since 1986 was analyzed. The proportion of farmyard manure application to total nutrient decreased gradually with years, and was only 46.9% in 2000, which was reduced by 23% compared to the figure in 1986.

Influence of farmyard manure on the quality of grass silage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1997
The influence of adding small aggregates (5 g) of farmyard manure (FYM) and/or a bacteria suspension (BS), containing Escherichia coli, and spores of Bacillus cereus and Clostridium tyrobutyricum, to silage was studied in two successive years. Direct cut (approximately 200 g DM kg-1), precision-chopped grass herbage was ensiled in 1.61 experimental ...

Organic matter and nutrients in fresh and mature farmyard manure

Agricultural Wastes, 1986
Abstract The changes in the content and forms of organic matter and nutrients in fresh and 3-month stabilized FYM were examined. The maturity process produced a significant increase in total N, water-soluble substances and lignin contents, and a decrease in C, lipid and hemicellulose plus cellulose contents as well as in the C/N ratio.

Performance Assessment of a Manually Operated Farmyard Manure Spreader

Journal of Experimental Agriculture International
Farm Yard Manure (FYM) is a traditional and widely used organic fertilizer and soil conditioner in agriculture. It is composed of decomposed organic materials derived from farmyard waste, such as animal dung, plant residues, and other organic matter found on farms.
