What do you mean by organic
amendments ?
• An organic amendment is any material of plant
or animal origin that can be added to the soil to
improve its physical, chemical and biological
properties.
Objectives :
 To know the effect of application of organic
amendments on Soil Quality.
 To Know the effect of application of organic
amendments on plant growth and yield.
Organic soil amendments
 Farm Yard Manure
 Compost
 Municipal solid Waste Compost
 Vermicompost
 Sheep and Goat Manure
 Poultry Manure
 Green Manure
 Concentrated Organic Manure( Bird guano, Fish guano, Fish
manure, Raw bonemeal, Steamed bonemeal, Blood meal)Etc…….
Schematic representation of the effect of organic amendments on soil
properties by acting as a source of carbon and nitrogen.

Problems of soil which can be reclaimed by
addition of organic ammendments -
Salinity
Sodicity
Hard pan soil
Physically poor soil
Effect of organic ammendments in soil.
(i) The decomposition of organic matter, evolution of CO2 and certain
organic acids.
(ii) Lowering of pH and the release of cations by solubilization of
CaCO3 and other soil minerals.
(iii) Replacement of exchangeable Na by Ca and Mg and thereby lowering
the ESP.
(iv) Physical properties like bulk density, porosity, void ratio, water
permeability and hydraulic conductivity are significantly improved.
(v) Increases soil aggregation and aggregate stability; increases the CEC
(the ability to attract and retain nutrients); and contributes N, P and
other nutrients.
Vital role of soil organic amendments
• Improve soil structure and aeration
• Increase water-holding capacity
• Increase availability of water to plants
• Reduce compaction and hardpan conditions
• Improve drainage
• Alkali soil reclamation
• Release of “locked” nutrients
• Better chemical incorporation
• Better root development
• Higher yields and quality

CONCLUSION
 Application of organic amendments improve the physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil.
 The application of urban compost @ 11t/ha resulted in higher yield and
improved plant growth of sweet sorghum.
 Application of organic manures significantly reduced the soil pH and
increased the soil organic carbon content , which were higher than plots
treated with recommended NPK through fertilizers in rice crop.
 Available N , P and K, exchangeable Ca Mg, Na total Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu of
soil after harvest of crop were significantly higher in organic manures applied
field as compared to recommended NPK through fertilizers.
 Organic amendments supply all the essential nutrients for plants growth.
 This indicated that the application of organic amendments improves the soil
quality, plant growth and yield of crop.

the plant….”

  • 3. What do you mean by organic amendments ? • An organic amendment is any material of plant or animal origin that can be added to the soil to improve its physical, chemical and biological properties. Objectives :  To know the effect of application of organic amendments on Soil Quality.  To Know the effect of application of organic amendments on plant growth and yield.
  • 4. Organic soil amendments  Farm Yard Manure  Compost  Municipal solid Waste Compost  Vermicompost  Sheep and Goat Manure  Poultry Manure  Green Manure  Concentrated Organic Manure( Bird guano, Fish guano, Fish manure, Raw bonemeal, Steamed bonemeal, Blood meal)Etc…….

  • 11. Problems of soil which can be reclaimed by addition of organic ammendments - Salinity Sodicity Hard pan soil Physically poor soil
  • 12. Effect of organic ammendments in soil. (i) The decomposition of organic matter, evolution of CO2 and certain organic acids. (ii) Lowering of pH and the release of cations by solubilization of CaCO3 and other soil minerals. (iii) Replacement of exchangeable Na by Ca and Mg and thereby lowering the ESP. (iv) Physical properties like bulk density, porosity, void ratio, water permeability and hydraulic conductivity are significantly improved. (v) Increases soil aggregation and aggregate stability; increases the CEC (the ability to attract and retain nutrients); and contributes N, P and other nutrients.
  • 13. Vital role of soil organic amendments • Improve soil structure and aeration • Increase water-holding capacity • Increase availability of water to plants • Reduce compaction and hardpan conditions • Improve drainage • Alkali soil reclamation • Release of “locked” nutrients • Better chemical incorporation • Better root development • Higher yields and quality

  • 30. CONCLUSION  Application of organic amendments improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.  The application of urban compost @ 11t/ha resulted in higher yield and improved plant growth of sweet sorghum.  Application of organic manures significantly reduced the soil pH and increased the soil organic carbon content , which were higher than plots treated with recommended NPK through fertilizers in rice crop.  Available N , P and K, exchangeable Ca Mg, Na total Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu of soil after harvest of crop were significantly higher in organic manures applied field as compared to recommended NPK through fertilizers.  Organic amendments supply all the essential nutrients for plants growth.  This indicated that the application of organic amendments improves the soil quality, plant growth and yield of crop.
