Key Points

  • This research aims to assess how mixing humic acid with manure affects key soil chemical properties.
  • Laboratory evaluation of different treatments on soil chemical properties.
  • Soil amended with 10 t. ha-1 of chicken and cow manure alongside humic acid treatments.
  • Chemical analysis of soil pH, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic carbon over 60 days incubation.
  • Significant differences observed between control and treated soils in chemical properties.
  • Soil pH decreased, while electrical conductivity increased over the incubation period.
  • Total nitrogen, available phosphorus, potassium content, and soil organic carbon significantly increased at 45 days, then decreased.

Abstract

laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Humic acid (HA) with mixing of manure (chicken - ChM; cow - CoM) on some soil chemical properties. The soil was amended with 10 t. ha-1 of manure and treatments used were: T1 (Control), T2 (HA), T3 (HA + ChM) and T4 (HA + CoM). The soil chemical parameters were analyzed for soil pH, the electrical conductivity (EC), total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), potassium content (K) and soil organic carbon (SOC) after 15-, 30-, 45- and 60-days’ incubation period at 28 ˚C. The results demonstrated a significant difference between the control and other treatments. the treatment applications have lowered the soil pH and EC was increase significantly with days of incubation. At 45 days of incubation the total nitrogen, available phosphorus, potassium content and soil organic carbon were increased significantly and decreased thereafter. As a result, the addition of humic acid and manure have significant effect on soil chemical properties.
