Abstract

Understanding the interactions between inorganic nutrients and organic matter derived from animal manure compost (AMC) is important for appropriate fertilization; however, how soluble organic matter (SOM) and non-soluble organic matter (N-SOM) of AMC can contribute to altering the availability and mobility of phosphorus (P) in soil is unclear. This study aims to understand how SOM and N-SOM can improve P availability. SOM and N-SOM were specifically fractionated from cattle, swine, and poultry manure composts by the dialysis and 1 M HCl extraction, respectively. The incubation, sorption, and column percolation tests were conducted using SOM, N-SOM, and P fertilizer. The presence of SOM could enhance the available P levels at more than 20% higher during the first 28 days regardless of the AMC types, but not observed in the presence of N-SOM. In the sorption test using organic matter derived from AMC of cattle, the presence of SOM before and after the addition of P suppressed P sorption at 65% and 39%, respectively. The presence of N-SOM before P addition suppressed P sorption at 42%, but not after. The column test showed that the presence of SOM and N-SOM enhanced P mobility in the soil at 11% of added P. This study provides the first experimental evidence that SOM and N-SOM derived from AMC have different contributions to the suppression of P immobilization. For appropriate fertilization, it is important to consider both the supply of nutrients from the compost and the enhancement of nutrient efficiency through the interaction of AMC and chemical fertilizer.
