The Physico-Chemical Properties Of Inland Valley Soil Treated With Compost Of Oyster Shell, Goat Droppings And Poultry Droppings
ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted in the Soil
Science Laboratory of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike to
investigate the effect of oyster shell, composted organic amendment on
physicochemical properties of inland valley soil The experiment was 3x3x3
factorial in completely randomized design and soil samples were collected from 0-30cm
depth from inland valley soil. The treatment applied were a mixture of goat
dropping poultry dropping and oyster shell (GD+PD+OY), poultry dropping and
oyster shell (PD+OY) and goat dropping and oyster shell (GD+OY) The amendment
were applied at the rate of 0%, 10% and 20% respectively. Each treatment was
replicated 3 times. The results show that application of organic materials such
as poultry manure, goat manure and oyster shell into the soil, resulted in
improvements on the physical and chemical properties of the soil, such as soil
pH, CEC, available phosphorus, total nitrogen percent organic carbon,
exchangeable acidity, aggregate stability of the soil structure. The results
also showed that there were increases in these properties as the rate of amendment
and sampling duration were increased. A combination of GD+PD+OY had more
influence on total nitrogen, CEC, available P while combination of PD+OY was
more effective in aggregate stability exchangeable calcium and pH of the soil.
