Plant and Soil Effects of Alternative Sources of Phosphorus over Three Years of Application

Agronomy
Plant growth and food security depend heavily on phosphorus (P). Recovering and recycling P from animal, municipal, and food waste streams can significantly reduce dependency on traditional mineral P. This is particularly pertinent in the EU regions with

Biosolids affect the growth, nitrogen accumulation and nitrogen leaching of barley

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018
Biosolids are organic fertilisers derived from treated and stabilised sewage sludge that increase soil fertility and supply nitrogen to crops over a long period, but can also increase the risk of nitrogen (N) leaching.

Results of trials with poppy seed (Papaver somniferum) in organic and integrated production technology. [PDF]

, 2010
The influence of organic and integrated management practices on poppy yield, pests and disease incidence was assessed in field trials in 2009. Crop management based on mineral fertilisers application and chemosynthetic pesticides treatment significantly

Analysis of Slow-Released Fertilisers as a Source of Microplastics

Land
One of the main strategies for improving the efficiency of agricultural production is the use of fertilisers with slow or controlled release of nutrients, in which the granules of mineral fertilisers are covered with polymeric shells.

Influence of Mineral Fertiliser and Foliar Dressing Rates on Buckwheat Yield

Scientific Horizons, 2022
A significant problem in the cultivation of buckwheat is its low yield, therefore, it is relevant to improve the elements of the technology for growing this crop. The purpose of the study was to establish optimal norms and terms for applying mineral fertilisers and foliar dressing with chelated microfertilisers in the forest-steppe conditions of ...

Weed control in a pesticide‐free farming system with mineral fertilisers

Weed Research, 2023
AbstractNegative impacts of pesticides on the environment and human health, the risk of pesticide residues in the food chain, and the problems with herbicide‐resistant weed biotypes support the need for alternative cropping systems. The objective of this study was to investigate weed populations, weed management and crop yield in a pesticide‐free ...

Sustaining soil productivity of cotton-based cropping systems in the savannahs of West and Central Africa : challenges and opportunities [PDF]

, 2010
The production of cotton (#Gossypium# spp.) is one of the major economic activities in many countries of West and Central Africa. Traditionally, cotton production was seen as 'engine for development' in rural Africa, but deregulation and the dismantling ...

Carbon and nutrient losses during manure storage under traditional and improved practices in smallholder crop-livestock systems - evidence from Kenya [PDF]

, 2009
In the absence of mineral fertiliser, animal manure may be the only nutrient resource available to smallholder farmers in Africa, and manure is often the main input of C to the soil when crop residues are removed from the fields.
