Although it decreases the viability some microbes, there are few studies how its single amendment to or in combination nanosized sulfur benefits microorganisms nutrient transformation. Therefore, an eight-week pot experiment was carried out under controlled conditions (growth chamber artificial light) seeded lettuce (Lactuca sativa) amended GO nano-sulfur their own several...
The thermal conversion of municipal sewage sludge (MSS) offers significant potential for sustainable waste management, particularly through the production biochar. This study investigates properties and soil application effects three biochar types produced via pyrolysis: (i) pure (100%), (ii) blended with sawdust (50%+50%), (iii) combined zeolite (50%+45%+5%). These biochars were applied at rates 2.5% 7.5% (w/w) to arable assessed in an 8-week greenhouse experiment using lettuce (Lactuca...
Abstract Manure amendment is a viable strategy to counteract declining soil fertility and degradation. However, existing studies often fail comprehensively evaluate how different manure types application methods affect health crop yields. To address this gap, six‐year‐long field experiment was conducted on Chernic Phaeozem soil, examining the effects of amendments in four experimental variants: control with only mineral fertilizers (NPK) three fields treated poultry, cattle swine...
A digestate with amendments provides plants available nutrients and improves the microbiological properties of treated soil. Modification a through addition biochar sulphur source is less well-known. This pot experiment aimed at comparing short- long-time fertilization effects enriched biochar, elemental sulphur, or combination both on soil health plant biomass. The was carried out maize, cultivated twice (1st-12th week = pre-cultivation; re-sowing after shoot harvest, 13th-24th main...
Objectives As a liquid organic fertilizer used in agriculture, digestate is rich many nutrients (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, potassium); their utilization may be however less efficient soils poor carbon (due to low carbon:nitrogen ratio). In order solve the disadvantages, enrichment with carbon-rich amendments biochar or humic acids (Humac) was tested. Methods Soil variants amended enriched digestate: + biochar, Humac, and combined acids—were compared control untreated effect...
The ever-increasing human population associated with high rate of waste generation may pose serious threats to soil ecosystem. Nevertheless, conversion agricultural and food wastes biochar has been shown as a beneficial approach in sustainable management. However, our understanding on how integration obtained from different mineral fertilizers impact microbiological indicators is limited. Therefore, the present study effects (AB) derived (FWB) biochars without fertilizer (MF) crop growth...
Abstract Background The farmyard manure application maintains quality of arable soils, provides nutrients, mitigates climate change by soil carbon sequestration. Biochar and other complex rich amendments may stabilize organic matter derived composting decelerate mineralization.

(MN17), Bacillus (MN54). The life was promoted by 66.6% in...
Abstract Background Elemental sulfur (S 0 ) is a cost-efficient fertilizer and the least rapidly utilizable source of S for soil microorganisms plants. Its bacterial-mediated oxidation to sulfates dependent on particle size. Finely formulated (micronized, nanosized) exerts enhanced rate benefit due nutrient availability crop nutrition efficiency. Graphene oxide (GO) affects properties both negatively positively. A pot experiment was carried out with lettuce using supplemented in different...
Application of biochar and composts prepared from organic wastes as soil amendments has been recognized a beneficial strategy to enhance fertility crop production. However, the modification manures with applied such not well explained. Therefore, preliminary study was designed evaluate impact two doses (low 0.4 kg + 10 manure high 4 manure) on resulting co-composted properties, subsequently effect matured amendment chemical biological properties plant yield in pot experiment barley (Hordeum...
The conversion of bio-wastes to useful products such as biochar provide a suitable option not only minimize the mass wastes, but also use soil amendment. In present study, food waste (FWB) and agricultural derived (AB), either alone or in combination (FWB + AB), were tested for their effects on microbiological characteristics (soil enzymes, basal well substrate-induced respiration), plant growth photosynthetic parameters. Four treatments tested: control, FWB, AB FWB AB. results indicated...
Abstract The overuse of synthetic fertilizers has been associated with negative environmental consequences. use biochar in this regard recommended as a win–win strategy.
