Effect of Organic Fertilization Based on Cattle Dung in Village Cultivation of Sugar Cane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in Immature Phase in Northern Ivory Coast

This study aimed to determine the dose of organic fertilizer adapted to the agroecological conditions of the Ferkéssédougou zone during the immature or vegetative phase with a view to improving agricultural productivity in rainfed sugar cane cultivation. The trial was conducted using a Fisher block experimental design with three (3) repetitions and six (6) treatments including the control treatment. The observations mainly focused on growth parameters. Health monitoring was also carried out to detect the presence of diseases. Regarding growth parameters, no statically significant effect of fertilizers was observed between treatments. However, the fertilizers used had a positive impact in terms of gain compared to the control. Thus, three (3) groups of fertilizers stood out. Group 1 was composed of mineral manure at the normal dose (350 kg/ha of NPK), organic manure at the normal dose (20t/ha), double dose of compost (40 t/ha) and the organo-mineral mixture, namely the normal dose of compost (20t/ha) + half dose of mineral fertilizer (175 kg/ha of NPK). These treatments promoted good emergence, good elongation of the plants with large diameters and a large number of internodes. Group 2, composed only of half a dose of compost (10 t/ha), allowed us to have a large number of stems. For group 3, corresponding to the control treatment, no growth parameter was correlated. No symptoms of major illnesses were observed during the observations. The M1400/86 variety used is resistant to termite attack.

Study of nitrogen status in different planting systems and organic fertilizer doses in sandy soil

This study was conducted to determine the effect of different jajar legowo planting systems in intercropping sweet corn with peanuts, as well as the addition of several doses of organic fertilizer on soil nitrogen status and plant leaf tissue on sandy soil. The research was conducted from January to May 2023, on the south coast of Jember Regency.

Effects of LongTerm Application of Mineral Fertilizers and Manure on Agrochemical Properties of Gray Forest Soil, Crops Productivity and Carbon Sequestration

The effect of long-term application of increasing doses of mineral (from N90P75K100 to N360P300K400) and organic (cattle manure from 25 to 100 t/ha) fertilizers on the fertility of gray forest soil was studied in the micro-plot experiment. Over 9 years, 0.81–3.24 t/ha of nitrogen, 0.68–2.70 t/ha of P2O5 and 0.90–3.60 t/ha of K2O were applied with mineral fertilizers. Manure supplied 43–173 t/ha of dry matter, 16–65 t/ha of Corg, 0.85–3.41 t/ha of Ntot, 0.65–2.59 t/ha of P2O5 and 0.86–3.46 t/ha of K2O. In the yield the mineral fertilizer system exceeded the organic one by an average of 29%. At extreme doses (N360P300K400 and 100 t/ha of cattle manure) mineral fertilizers reduced crop productivity more strongly than organic fertilizers. A direct linear relationship was found between the doses of mineral and organic fertilizers and the increase in the content of available P2O5 and K2O in the soil. Application of extreme doses of fertilizers did not lead to saturation of the soil with available forms of phosphorus and potassium. Long-term application of organic fertilizers increased the soil pH(KCl) by 0.4–1.3 units and mineral fertilizers decreased it by 0.8–1.4 units. Annual application of mineral fertilizers increased soil Corg content by an average of 0.02–0.04% per year, and organic fertilizers – by 0.08–0.17% per year. Manure application at 100 t/ha over 9 years led to the saturation of the soil with organic carbon. The C : N ratio in the soil under a mineral fertilizer system was decreased, while it with the organic system was increased. An approach to calculate the carbon sequestration efficiency for the assessment of different agronomic practices is proposed. It is shown that the carbon sequestration efficiency of the organic fertilizers was 15% higher than that of the mineral fertilizers.

The observation parameters in this study were chili weight per plant (g), chili weight per plot (g) and number of productive brances (brances). The results of the research showed that treatment with a POC dose of vegetable waste of 5 ml/l of water with mycorrhizal biological fertilizer of 2.5 g/lot had the highest influence on chili plant production of 48.33 g/plot or the equivalent of 193,32 kuintal/ha.

Prediction of hydroxyl radical exposure during ozonation using different machine learning methods with ozone decay kinetic parameters

The abatement of micropollutants by ozonation can be accurately calculated by measuring the exposures of molecular ozone (O3) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) (i.e., ∫[O3]dt and ∫[•OH]dt). In the actual ozonation process, ∫[O3]dt values can be calculated by monitoring the O3 decay during the process. However, calculating ∫[•OH]dt is challenging in the field, which necessitates developing models to predict ∫[•OH]dt from measurable parameters. This study demonstrates the development of machine learning models to predict ∫[•OH]dt (the output variable) from five basic input variables (pH, dissolved organic carbon concentration, alkalinity, temperature, and O3 dose) and two optional ones (∫[O3]dt and instantaneous ozone demand, IOD). To develop the models, four different machine learning methods (random forest, support vector regression, artificial neural network, and Gaussian process regression) were employed using the input and output variables measured (or determined) in 130 different natural water samples. The results indicated that incorporating ∫[O3]dt as an input variable significantly improved the accuracy of prediction models, increasing overall R2 by 0.01−0.09, depending on the machine learning method. This suggests that ∫[O3]dt plays a crucial role as a key variable reflecting the •OH-yielding characteristics of dissolved organic matter. Conversely, IOD had a minimal impact on the accuracy of the prediction models. Generally, machine-learning-based prediction models outperformed those based on the response surface methodology developed as a control. Notably, models utilizing the Gaussian process regression algorithm demonstrated the highest coefficients of determination (overall R2 = 0.91−0.95) among the prediction models.
