Abstract
Description
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of
various methods of introducing manure in to the soil on the chemical
properties of the soil. The field experiment was carried out in
the Podlasie voivodship on a sandy soil. Cattle manure was applied
in a dose of 30 Mg ha-1 and mixed with the soil using a disc
harrow or plowed into the depth of 10 and 20 cm. In soil samples,
the content of available forms of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium,
copper, sulfur, boron, manganese, zinc, iron and the soil
reaction was determined. The results confirmed the influence of
depth of manure application on soil properties. As the cultivation
depth increased, the content of phosphorus and organic carbon in
soil increased, C/N ratio expanded, but the content of magnesium
and potassium in soil decreased. No effect of the cultivation depth
on the soil pH value and the content of nitrogen, boron, zinc and
sulfur was found. The results of the study indicate a different rate
of manure changes in soil and the related need to develop fertilizer
equivalents depending on the manure application method.
