Fertilization of maize with compost from cattle manure supplemented with additional mineral nutrients

[EN] An alternative approach for cattle manure management on intensive livestock farms is the composting process. An industrial-scale composting plant has been set up in northwest Spain for producing compost from cattle manure. Manure composting involved an increase in pH, electrical conductivity (E...

An industrial-scale composting plant has been set up in northwest Spain for producing compost from cattle manure. Manure composting involved an increase in pH, electrical conductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and NO3--N concentration, and a decrease in temperature, moisture content, organic matter (OM) content, NH4+-N concentration and C/N ratio. Cu, Zn and Ni concentrations increased due to the reduction of pile weight during the composting process. The resulting compost was applied to a field to study the viability of applying this compost combined with a nitrogen mineral fertilizer as a replacement for the mineral fertilization conventionally used for maize (Zea mays L.).

A year later, soil pH, OM content and CEC were higher with the compost treatment.
