Nutritional characteristics of carbonized cattle feces and effects of its application on open culture of green vegetables

To develop and promote a usage of carbonized cattle feces, we examined to test a nutrient response of cattle feces carbide with different carbonization temperature. And evaluate an effect of its application on green vegetables under field conditions. As for the ingredient composition of carbide, nit...

Summary:To develop and promote a usage of carbonized cattle feces, we examined to test a nutrient response of cattle feces carbide with different carbonization temperature. And evaluate an effect of its application on green vegetables under field conditions. As for the ingredient composition of carbide, nitrogen decrease with temperature and phosphate potassium tend to increase. Most of the nutrient response to nitrogen in carbide can not be found. But 100% of potassium and about 10% of phosphate are available. Potassium of carbide treated with more than 500 deg C is appropriate for green vegetables. The use of carbide can expect improvement of the physical property of soil, but possibility would increase to accumulate the potassium in soil. In order to prevent this accumulation, an amount of application of carbide is limited to less than 2t/10a.
