The effect of large doses of organic fertilisers on maize

Abstract

Organic fertilisers are among the important factors increasing soil fertility. Their use belongs to sustainable technologies. As part of the field experiment, the effect of high doses of organic fertilisers on the parameters of the cultivated crop was monitored. The experiment was established using manure, compost and digestate. Monitored dosages were 40 and 200 t.ha-1. The field trial was based on a light cambisoil. The cultivated crop was maize. A blade cultivator was used in all cases to incorporate fertilisers. The qualitative parameters of the fertilisers were evaluated, as well as the maize yield and the quality of the resulting crop. The results indicate the beneficial effect of fertilisation on plant yield, quality parameters and other factors. Even in variants with high doses of fertilisers, no significant damage to the stand was recorded.
