Abstract

The article considers utilization of organic waste from poultry farming being an urgent problem of agriculture. Leaders of large poultry farms are interested in using low-cost recycling schemes aimed to process waste into safe products in a short time. This paper considers the possibility of using an organic fertilizer “Soil Improver (UP-1)” obtained by processing poultry waste by using a biologically active additive Mefosfon, which is a melamine salt of bis (oxymethyl) phosphinic acid. Field tests were carried out in 2019-2020 on the lands of OAO “Agrofirma “Ak Bars-Pestretsy” being the branch of the Poultry farm of the Pestrechinsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan. The object of the study was the recognized variety of soft winter wheat “Scepter” ES (elite variety). The rate of application of chicken compost and organic product UP-1 in the control and experimental plots was 56 tons per 1 ha. The experimental data show that wheat cultivated with the application of UP-1 compost was distinguished by higher rates of field germination (increased by 13 %); the length of secondary roots was 11.2 % greater compared to control. The grain produced in this variant had higher hardness (control – 62 %, UP-1 – 72 %) and the quality of crud gluten (74.0, 78.0 %, respectively), the yield of winter wheat grain – by 0.06–0.12 t/ha (1.2–2.5 %), which indicates the feasibility of using fertilizer from poultry manure in crops cultivation.

Highlights

  • IntroductionThe most important soil property providing an objective possibility of intensifying agriculture and being the basis for the sustainable development of the agrarian complex, is its fertility determined by the content of mineral and organic substances in it [1,2,3]

  • The dynamic development of poultry farming in the Russian Federation has led to an increase in the amount of waste hazardous to the environment and, predominantly, poultry manure

  • According to the analysis as of July 2, 2019, the compost and the UP-1 product were free of pathogenic microorganisms, sulfite-reducing bacteria, intestinal pathogenic protozoan cysts, helminth eggs and larvae, larvae and pupae of synanthropic flies

Summary

Introduction

The most important soil property providing an objective possibility of intensifying agriculture and being the basis for the sustainable development of the agrarian complex, is its fertility determined by the content of mineral and organic substances in it [1,2,3]. Utilization of poultry manure by soil method is justified in ecological and agro-economic terms In this regard, the development and testing of biotechnological processes for the disposal of organic waste from poultry farming, which ensure an effective product of complex action and its subsequent use in agricultural production, is relevant for science and practice. The object of research was the recognized species of soft winter wheat “Scepter” ES, a variety of lutescens Mid-season with the following characteristics: 282–336 days growing season, increased winter hardiness, high resistance to spring frost, average drought resistance, resistance to lodging. It does not crumble with prolonged over-growing on the vine. Dospekhov (1985) [17] using Microsoft Excel and a personal computer
