Summary: The study investigated the use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and poultry manure (PM) for enhancing soil fertility and wheat production. It was found that the addition of nematodes significantly increased the availability of phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase activity. Furthermore, the combination of PM and biological drivers had a greater impact on the dry biomass and phosphorus concentration of plants compared to the control treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of poultry manure-derived biochar and compost on the soil and growth of cherry tomatoes. The results showed that biochar obtained at 475°C had the most beneficial effects in terms of fertilizing potential, and composting of poultry manure with straw was successful and resulted in hygienized compost. The produced compost and biochar were sanitary safe and did not exceed the limits of heavy metal content.

Summary: The application of lime and organic manure significantly improved crop productivity and nutrient uptake in the wheat-mungbean-T. Aman cropping pattern in acidic soils. The combined application of lime and manure had more pronounced effects on the second and third crops, leading to significant increases in grain and straw yields. This suggests that a combination of lime and manure can effectively enhance soil quality and uplift crop productivity in acidic Piedmont soils.

Summary: An experiment was conducted to optimize different organic amendments for sugar beet production and root quality. Among the amendments, poultry manure at an optimized rate of 20 t ha(-1) showed the most effective results in terms of root yield, sugar yield, and sugar quality. The improved yield was attributed to better leaf growth and root yield, resulting in higher reserve accumulation in roots. The 'California' genotype performed better than the 'Serenada' genotype. Therefore, growing the 'California' genotype in sandy loam soils with poultry manure application (20 t ha(-1)) could be a practical option for improving sugar beet yield and sugar recovery.

Summary: Manure application significantly increased net nitrification rates (NNRs) in soil and had effects on heavy metal concentrations, abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea/bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. The concentrations of Fe and Pb were positively correlated with NNRs, while Cu and Cd were negatively correlated with NNRs.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of organic manure on the yield and quality performance of turmeric. The results showed that the application of poultry manure had the best growth performance, while the combination of FYM and PM had the best yield and quality performance. Additionally, larger rhizome sizes were also found to contribute to higher yield and quality of turmeric.
