Beneficial Use of Animal Manure as Alternative for Intense Chemical Fertilizer Used Agriculture in Ruso Soil Series
Keywords:
Chinese Kale, Site - Specific Nutrient Management, ManureAbstract
Ruso soil characteristic is sandy, yellow-brown, highly acidic and low fertility which majorly found in the southern of Thailand. The over fertilization practices was used in this area to cover the low fertility which resulted in severe environmental problems especially soil and water pollutions. As a consequence the site-specific nutrient management was introduced in order to make the agriculture more sustainable by reducing the excess chemical fertilizer. These types of manure; pig, cow and chicken, was mixed with the common used chemical fertilizer (CF) in different ratios. Fourteen treatments were test in planting Chinese Kale and found that the CF : pig manure at 75 : 25 %w/w gave the highest Chinese Kale yield at 530.70 Kg/Rai and 21.50 cm. per plant. However, the least N and P nutrient in the leachate was found in the combination of CF : cow manure of 75 : 25 % w/w at 0.167 and 0.007 mg/L of nitrate and phosphate respectively. The 25 % reduction in CF usage is promising sign toward sustainable agriculture.
