Soil Biological Activity as Influenced by Green Waste Compost and Cattle Manure

A laboratory incubation research was carried out to evaluate the effect of green waste compost (GWC) and cattle manure (CM), the traditional organic amendment, on soil quality indicators. The CM and GWC were applied to a sandy soil (Xeropsamment) at rates corresponding to 10 and 40 Mg ha^sup -1^. The pH, DOC, ATP, dehydrogenase activity and basal respiration in soil were monitored during a 60d incubation period. The results show that soil pH and DOC were affected at modest levels over the incubation by any of the two rates of both amendments. The ATP, dehydrogenase activity and respiration were enhanced by CM. Increase in application rates of CM from 10 to 40 Mg ha^sup -1^ greatly increased ...
