| 1 | okereke, C.N., Nnabude, P.C., Mbaekwe, E.I., Ekwealor, K.U., Uhuo, C.A., Nwanchor, K.C. (2014, September), "In order to arrest the declining productivity of the soils in the Abakaliki agro-ecological zone of S.E. Nigeria, four levels (12.5, 25.0, 37.5 and 50.0 Mg ha−1) of fresh (FW) and burnt (BW) rice-mill wastes abundant in the area, and a mixture of the waste + NPK and NPK alone were added to the soil (Typic-Haplustult) to evaluate their immediate and residual effects on the productivity of the soil using maize (Zea mays L.) as a test crop. Results showed a significant reduction in bulk density as well as improvements in total porosity and water stable aggregates (WSA>0.5 mm) at levels >12.5 Mg ha−1 of the FW amendments. Although both amendments failed to improve the soil pH, significant improvements in soil C, N and BS were obtained at 37.5 Mg ha−1 and above in both amendments. The highest relative increase (TF) of 135.1% and 102.8% in C and N in the first season and 94.4% and 99.3% in the second season were obtained in the FW at 50.0 Mg ha−1. The highest maize grain yields of 2.74 and 2.66 Mg ha−1 were obtained in the waste + NPK mixtures (FW/BW + NPK) in the first season. The residual yield was highest (1.45 Mg ha−1) in the FW amendment at 50.0 Mg ha−1. The results showed that regular and properly planned applications of these wastes can sustain the productivity of soils in this region.", African Journal of Plant Science, Vol. 8, (Issue 9), pp 441 - 449 |
