Manures used as phosphorus sources may have different efficiencies from those of commercial soluble fertilizers. These efficiencies may vary according to the manure origin and to the proportions of its total P in different chemical fractions. A greenhouse experiment was conducted in order to estimate the efficiencies of dairy cattle and chicken manures as phosphorus source, in comparison to triple superphosphate (TSP), as well as to relate these efficiencies to their P fractions. The treatments were: control, without fertilizer or […]
