Sources of fertilizers on the phytotechnical characteristics, oxidative stress and thymol production of Thymus vulgaris L.

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of different fertilizer sources on the phytotechnical characteristics, oxidative stress, and thymol production of Thymus vulgaris. The experiment was conducted in 3-dm³ pots containing soil:sand (2:1) + treatment (no fertilizer, organic fertilizer, or chemical fertilizer). The organic fertilizer was 8 kg m-2 of an equal mixture of bovine, goat, and quail manures. The variables assessed were leaf, stem, root, and total dry weights; chlorophyll and carotenoid contents; leaf nutrients; total polyphenols; total antioxidant capacity; oxygen radical absorption capacity; DPPH free radical scavenging activity; essential oil content; and thymol production, content, and yield. Organic fertilization significantly increased the variables assessed and reduced oxidative stress indicators. It resulted in gains in the dry weight of the plants and the accumulation of nutrients in dry leaves of T. vulgaris. For the quantitative parameters of the essential oil and thymol, organic fertilization was significantly higher than the other treatments, especially for thymol content and yield. T. vulgaris plants fertilized with organic fertilizer maximize their plant production and their yield of compounds of interest, such as thymol, possibly because these outputs indicate a balance between improved vegetative production and the elimination of reactive oxygen species.

Effects of different types of local potential manure on the availability and uptake of P and K of rice in Inceptisols

The availability of Inceptisols nutrients is not sufficient for organic farming activities in rice cultivation, therefore it can be optimized by adding organic fertilizers, one of which is manure. The study aims to determine the effect of various manure types on the availability and uptake of P and K nutrients of rice in Inceptisols. The study used a single-factor Randomized Complete Group Design with 10 treatments: T1 = control; T2 = NPK 200 kg/ha; T3 = cow manure 10 tons/ha; T4 = chicken manure 10 tons/ha; T5 = goat manure 10 tons/ha; T6 = quail manure 10 tons/ha; T7 = NPK 100 kg/ha + cow manure 5 tons/ha; T8 = NPK 100 kg/ha + chicken manure 5 tons/ha; T9 = NPK 100 kg/ha + goat manure 5 tons/ha; T10 = NPK 100 kg/ha + quail manure 5 tons/ha repeated 3 times with experimental plots measuring 2.5 m×4 m. The results showed that quail manure applied singly or in combination with NPK fertilizer had a substantial effect on available P, exchangeable K, and plant P and K uptake. This is determined by high P and K nutrient contents in manure and has a lower C/N ratio than other manures. The results showed that quail manure was able to increase the availability and uptake of P and K nutrients of rice plants in Inceptisols. Thus, quail manure can be a recommended organic fertilizer for rice cultivation

Waste Reduction and Bioconversion of Quail, Chicken, and Pig Manure by Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.)

The increasing poultry and livestock farm operations have led to a great deal of manure generation. If inappropriately managed, it may cause adverse impacts on the environment, health, and economy. Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) larvae (BSFL) can potentially convert manure into protein-rich biomass and nutrient-rich frass effectively. In this study, BSFL were reared on three different waste streams – quail manure (QM), chicken manure (CM), and pig manure (PM). Manure mass was significantly reduced by larvae, of which QM had the highest overall degradation of 62.49% and waste reduction index of 10.42% (p-value < 0.05) of dry matter (DM). The larvae reared in QM also had the highest bioconversion rate (26.41%) and individual larval weight (~ 0.22 g/larva) (p < 0.05) with DM protein and fat contents of 54.77 and 13.79%, respectively, being a potentially high protein and high energy animal feed. Meanwhile, larvae reared in CM produced the lowest larval biomass (~ 0.07 g/larva) but had the most frass (252.10 g) (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the frass composition (organic matter, nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio) from the three substrates (p > 0.05). Therefore, BSFL presents a promising solution for efficient manure management by converting it into valuable frass and larval biomass with potential applications as plant fertilizer and animal feed ingredient, respectively.

Agroecological assessment of the efficiency of utilization of quail manure in the restoration of disturbed sod-podzolic soils with the formation of a stable herbage

The most acute environmental problems of our time include large volumes of bird droppings produced annually at large livestock complexes. At the same time, the sod-podzolic soils dominating in the Non-Chernozem zone of the European part of Russia are characterized by low reserves of humus, which quickly fall with intensive agricultural use and soil anthropogenic degradation. To restore degraded sod-podzolic soils, a peat-sand substrate enriched with compost from quail manure without and with the application of phosphogypsum to stabilize organic compounds of compost was used with the support of project No. 075-15-2021-1030 of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia. The vegetation experiment showed the maximum increase in plant biomass of the herbage in the variant with the combined use of compost and phosphogypsum: respectively, 30% higher than the control one. In the summer, there is an increased intensity of soil CO2 emissions in the variants with compost, but with a multiple more active increase in grass biomass growing, so one can talk about the atmosphere carbon sequestering nature of the technology of utilization of quail droppings during the restoration of disturbed sod-podzolic soils with the formation of a stable herbage.

D. magna was cultured for 15 days in a container with a volume of 3 liters. The updated parameters were abundance of D. magna, mortality of D. magna, and water quality. The results were analyzed using ANOVA analysis. The results showed that the highest abundance was in P2 (3g / L), and the lowest was in P0 (control). Water quality during the research was temperature 21-24°C, pH 7,5-8,4, DO 6,2-7,8 ppm, and ammonia 0-0,25 mg/L.

Quail manure as a supplementary feedstock to corn stover: Conjoint effect of alkaline pretreatment and co-digestion approaches on organics solubilization and methane yield

To overcome low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, recalcitrant nature, and enhancement methane production of corn stover, it was co-digested with quail manure along with alkaline pretreatment using NaOH. The best-case scenario was attained when a mixture of 50/50 with 2.5% NaOH pretreated corn stover was employed. As compared to control (mono-digested/untreated corn stover), largest lignin reduction (16%), organics solubiliztion (27.7%), maximum methane yield enhancement (2-fold higher, 296.5 mL CH4 gVSadd−1) was achieved. The most important contributing factor to enhancement was the synergistic effect resulting from ideal C/N ratio applied and hydrolysis rate accelerating. The experimental data obtained were validated using first-order kinetic model. Energy analysis revealed a positive energy balance, with a 6-fold increase in energy output. These results highlight the feasibility of recycling available agricultural wastes into renewable resources rather than just discarding them, with the added benefits of producing clean biogas without the need for expensive high-tech equipment.

Effect of bokashi quail manure and rice husk biochar on soil pH and soybean plants growth

The availability of fertile land is currently increasingly limited, so land use leads to suboptimal land. Suboptimal land constraints are low elements of N, P, K, S, and microelements, low soil pH, the possibility of Al and Fe poisoning. The use of bokashi quail manure and rice husk biochar is expected to overcome suboptimal land constraints. The objective of this study is to apply the best amount of bokashi and biochar to soybean plants in poor soil. The study employed a completely randomized design, a field experiment methodology. The study used two types of treatments: bokashi quail dung, which came in doses of 15, 30, and 45 grams per polybag, and rice husk biochar, which came in doses of 15, 30, and 45 grams per polybag. According to the study’s findings, applying bokashi 30 grams per polybag along with 15 grams of rice husk biochar per polybag could lead to the greatest rise in soil pH when compared to other treatments. The use of bokashi quail manure alone, at doses between 30 and 45 grams per polybag, can result in the highest plant height and number of leaves compared to other treatments.

Effect of Combination of Poultry Manure and Rice Husk Biochar on Soil Fertility and Rice Plants

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rice plants occupy a strategic position as a staple food producer for the people of Indonesia. Faced with limited suboptimal soil fertility, especially low levels of nutrients and soil pH, the use of organic fertilizers combined with local ameliorants is one solution to increase soil fertility. The purpose of this study was to obtain a combination of chicken or quail manure with rice husk biochar, which can reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers (urea, SP-36, and KCl). This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 7 treatments (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) which was a combination of 100% to 25% inorganic fertilizer of the recommendations, chicken manure or bird manure quail 5 tons/ha, and rice husk biochar 5 tons/ha. The parameters observed were plant height, total chlorophyll, seed dry weight, soil pH, soil NPK content, and Al-dd content. Observational data were analyzed with the F test at the 5% level then further tests were carried out using the Honest Significant Difference (HSD) test. The results showed that the treatments had a very significant effect, namely C, D, and E treatments resulted in a decrease in Al-dd, and an increase in K and had a significant effect on rice plant height. It was concluded that a combination of 5 tons/ha of chicken manure or quail manure with 5 tons/ha of biochar could increase soil fertility and rice plant height during the vegetative period and could substitute inorganic fertilizers up to 50% of the recommended dose.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) Fermented Manure as a Fertilizer to Support Azolla microphylla Growth Rate

Azolla (&lt;em&gt;Azolla microphylla&lt;/em&gt;) is a potential livestock feed due to its fast-growing and relevant nutrient content. Quail farming generates manure as a by-product that can be used as fertilizer to support plant growth. This study aims to determine the dose effect of fermented quail manure on the growth rate of Azolla, as well as the nutritional content of the resulting Azolla biomass. The data were obtained through observation in 20 Azolla culture ponds according to the design method throughout the research for the Azolla growth rate parameters and laboratory tests to analyze manure and Azolla proximate content at the end of the study. The results showed that treatment of 50, 100 and 150 g m&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt; of quail manure gave similarly good effects on the Azolla growth parameters, indicating that the application of quail manure can significantly increase the production of Azolla biomass&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;in culture ponds. The resulting Azolla biomass from all treatments gave a value of 93% to 95% moisture content, 18% to 19% ash content, 36% to 42% protein, 20% to 37% fiber, 2.8% to 4% fat and 5% to 6% carbohydrates. Looking at the big picture, therefore, 100 g m&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt; manure treatment is considered the most optimal among the rest. Based on the result obtained, this study can provide an overview of the dose of quail manure that can be used to support the growth of Azolla.
