COMPARISON OF THE COMPOSITION OF NUTRITIONAL SUBSTANCES IN A FRESH AND COMPOSITE BIRD LITTER

Abstract

Organic matter is an important component of healthy soils, and all reasonable agricultural practices combine and distribute the available organic materials to maintain or improve soil fertility. A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of composted bird droppings and fresh bird droppings on the extractive capacity of phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). It has been found that the extractability of these nutrients strongly depends on the type of waste used. It was found that the concentrations of these nutrients are higher in the composted material compared to fresh manure. The effectiveness of the manure used largely depends on the source of the manure. The use of composted bird droppings in the fields can reduce both the amount of synthetic fertilizers and improve the quality of the soil. This study was designed to compare the extractability and bioavailability of nutrients for maize after making compost from bird droppings.
