A comparative study of the phosphorus characteristics of oil palm volcanic soils in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand volcanic soils : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Applied Science in Soil Science at Massey University [PDF]
Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) grown on volcanic ash soils in Papua New Guinea (PNG) generally respond well to N fertilisers but shows a lack of consistent response to inorganic phosphorus (P) fertilisers.

© 2019, ALÖKI Kft., Budapest, Hungary. The study is based on establishing soil acidity and fertility of Vertisols after the mineral fertilisers had continuously been applied from 1984 to 2016. The two phosphorus (35 and 70 kg P ha-1), the invariable nitrogen (120 kg N ha-1) and potassium (66.4 kg K ha-1) doses were used in Kragujevac location (central ...

Effect of injection depth of digestate liquid fraction on soil carbon dioxide emission and maize biomass production [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate, in open field conditions, the effect of injection depth of digestate liquid fraction (10 cm, 25 cm and 35 cm) in clay loam soil, on CO2 emission. An un-amended soil was considered as control. The study was performed

Soil and crop responses following application of biosolids-derived organomineral fertilisers to ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) grown in pots [PDF]
Biosolids-derived organomineral fertilisers (OMF) were produced using a novel technique reported in earlier studies. This technique enables addition of N and potash to biosolids granules to form a balanced NPK fertiliser.
