Soil nitrate availability during incubation as affected by dairy cattle waste vermicompost
Main Article Content
Abstract
Result indicated that there was significantly affected between dairy cattle waste vermicompost with the concentration of nitrate (NO3-) during the incubation time periods. The dairy cattle waste vermicompost had significantly affected on other variables such as total nitrogen, pH, CEC, and exchangeable Al from 3 weeks to 7 weeks after incubation. Inceptisols had higher nitrate, total nitrogen, and pH than Ultisols. The nitrate was significantly higher at 7 weeks after incubation, with an increasing nitrate from 5 weeks and the highest at 7 weeks. Ultisols was not significantly different on incubation. The dairy cattle waste vermicompost showed significant differences in nitrate, total N, and pH between 0-, 15-, and 30-tons ha-1, but not in C/N. The significantly effect from improvement nitrate occurred after 5 weeks incubation on soils. The stable condition of nitrate availability through by the utilization of dairy cattle waste vermicompost occurred in 15-ton ha-1 dosage. The best dosage of dairy cattle waste vermicompost can produce a suitable environment for the nitrification process. This will lead to the accumulation of accessible mineral nitrogen compounds in soil.
