Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic worldwide increase in agricultural and industrial productivity has created severe environmental problems. Soil and groundwater reservoirs have been polluted with pesticides, xenobiotics and agro-chemicals. The global consensus to reduce inputs of chemical pesticides and agrochemical fertilizers, which are perceived at being hazardous by some consumers, has provided opportunities for the development of novel, benign sustainable crop management strategies. The future of agricultural depends upon our ability to enhance the productivity without damage to their long-term production potential. One of the strategies is the application of effective microbial products beneficial for both farmers and ecosystems. This kind of approach can ensure both ecological and economic sustainability. Soil microbial populations are immersed in framework of interactions, which are known to affect plant fitness and soil quality. For betterment of life of human being, improved quality and variety of products are formed due to versatile action of different group of microorganisms, Microbes are able to degrade solid waste material into compost which is a mixture of decayed organic matter, manure etc. Incomplete microbial degradation of organic waste where the microbial process varies aerobic to anaerobic form is stated as compost, if added to soil improves plant growth and development. The biological activities and microbial metabolism in the soil contribute to alter its mixture and fertility. Incorporation of organic remain in the form of compost is known to influence favourably the physio-chemical and biological properties of soil. The beneficial activities bestowed upon plants by compost utilization are multifaceted, hence most promising alternatives for achieving sustainable agricultural production. An increased awareness on compost has led to their use in agricultural concern. Contents in the present book will comprised various chapters on the role of beneficial bacteria in the composting process. The application is depicted to achieve the attainable productivity besides, in disease management and suppressiveness of organisms of phytopathogenic in nature. Significance of the compost elicits certain responses e.g. soil reclamation, soil fertility, soil health and disease management exhibit due to quality compost amendment in soil. It serves as low cost prospective option for sustainable crop production and protection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the significance of urban agricultural production, the technologies and methods for supplying organic materials to the farmland, recovering plant nutrients and energy in cities, and systems for sustaining farmlands in order to produce agricultural crops and supply safe food to citizens. Focusing on the effective recycling of biomass waste generated in cities for use in organic farming, it discusses alternatives to traditional composting, such as carbonizing organic waste, which not only produces recyclable materials but also converts organic waste into energy. Recycling discarded organic matter appropriately and reusing it as both material and energy is the basis of new urban organic farming, and represents a major challenge for the next generation of urban agriculture. As such, the book presents advanced research findings to facilitate the implementation of safe, organic agricultural production with only a small environmental load.

Download or read book Organic Matter Amendments Improve Soil Function in California Agroecosystems written by Yocelyn Briceyda Villa and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loss of organic matter (OM) from soil through degradation can lead to decline in soil structure, depletion of plant nutrients, enhancing mineralization of organic compounds and contribute to climate change through the release of greenhouse gas emissions. To address this, it is important to identify and expand our current understanding of the management practices that ensure that the functions and services of soils in agricultural lands are maintained for the long-term. Sustainable agriculture aims to meet society's needs for food, feed, and fiber, while protecting natural resources and is primarily guided by the quality of and aims to maintain or improve health of soils. A management practice that directly benefits soil quality, through the enhancement of soil organic matter (SOM), is the use of organic matter amendments (OMA). OMAs are a group of organic materials that are rich in nutrients that can be recycled back to the soil and can have positive effects for improving soil conditions and properties, and are proposed as a climate change mitigation strategy. Through extensive field, laboratory studies, and advanced analytical techniques, I show the potential benefits of recycling organic matter amendments into agricultural soils in California. Three projects were established and make up the three chapters of my dissertation: the first project focused on how the application of two different types of composts in almond orchards influenced soil fertility and nutrient cycling. Main findings from this chapter show that the applications of these OMA were heavily influenced by soil texture. After two years of OMA application there was an improvement in soil fertility. The second chapter focused on how long-term application of biosolids in agricultural soils influences carbon content, specifically focusing on the importance of accounting for deep soil carbon in order to determine a soils climate change mitigation potential in three sites in northern California. Main findings show that application rate of biosolids is not a determining factor when it comes to carbon accounting, but management practices play a bigger role. Additionally, not accounting for deep soil carbon leads to an underestimation of carbon sequestration in biosolid amended soils. Chapter 3 builds off Chapter 2, and investigates the stability of this C and N by determining what pools in the soil they are in. These different pools will provide insight on how vulnerable these reservoirs are to management induced changes which can contribute to C and N losses. Overall findings show that long-term amended soils contribute increase carbon content associated to unprotected pools in surface soils where it is easier for microbes to mineralize. Carbon content in deeper soils show that the carbon is associated to physically protected and mineral associated pools, indicating this carbon to be more persistent. Overall, these findings show that site conditions, measurement methodology, and management practices influence the potential of OMA to be beneficial to soil fertility and climate beneficial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organic fertilizers with low C:N ratios can be applied to supply both macro and micronutrients to the soil. Aside nutrient supply, they can improve soil structure, texture, water holding capacity and nutrient holding capacity. The mechanisms that may interplay to allow organic fertilizers to affect the soil and crop yields may include improved nutrient synchrony, general improvement in fertility and/or priming effects. The rate, timing and method of organic fertilizer application must be considered to reduce N and P losses during organic fertilizer application. To meet the nutrient requirement of crops, organic fertilizers must be applied in large quantities, so it is more prudent to apply locally available resources. In a case study where sole organic fertilizer, sole inorganic fertilizer and their combinations were applied under rain-fed conditions, it was observed that manure had the potential to hold nutrients longer. This is a positive finding for drought prone areas.

Book excerpt: Synthetic chemical fertilizer pollutes lakes and rivers and kills soil organisms like earthworms. Fortunately, there is a better way to fertilize soil without polluting the environment. Feed the Soil is a book that teaches you about soil and how to improve soil fertility through natural methods. It is a reference book describing 127 different green manure crops. Growers can add nitrogen to the soil naturally by growing legumes, like peas, beans, clover or alfalfa. By growing legumes and turning them under, we can add nitrogen to the soil and improve soil fertility. This process is called green manuring and was used by the ancient Chinese and the Romans. Green manuring also adds vital organic matter to the soil. Organic matter acts like little sponges that absorb water and stores it for plant roots during dry periods. Growing legumes as green manure helps to improve and build topsoil. It is a sustainable way to farm or garden. It’s like putting money into the bank.
