Effects of long-term application of various organic amendments on soil particulate organic matter storage and chemical stabilisation of vertisol soil

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018
Current understanding of the effects of long-term application of various organic amendments on soil particulate organic matter (POM) storage and chemical stabilisation remains limited. Therefore, we collected soil samples from the soil profile (0–100 cm)

Repeated use of green-manure catch crops in organic cereal production - grain yields and nitrogen supply [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
By restricted access to manure, nitrogen (N) supply in organic agriculture relies on biological N-fixation. This study compares grain yields after one full-season green manure (FSGM) to yields with repeated use of a green-manure catch crop.

Determining the effect of organic and low-input production methods on food quality and safety. QLIF subproject 2: Effects of production methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The objectives of QLIF subproject 2 were to: (i) identify the effect of production systems (organic, low-input and conventional) on food quality and safety parameters; (ii) identify agronomic parameters responsible for differences in food quality and ...

Mapping cacao fertiliser requirements in Côte d'Ivoire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In Côte d'Ivoire, soils in cacao plantations are depleted due to the absence or underuse of fertilisation. A digital map of 130 landunits was created from soil and climatic parameters.

Nitric oxide and nitrous oxide emissions from cattle-slurry and mineral fertiliser treated with nitrification inhibitor to an agricultural soil: A laboratory approach

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015
The application of organic and mineral fertilisers to soil can result in increased gaseous emissions to the atmosphere such as nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O) gases.
