The influence of liming and organic fertilization on microbial activity in the soil

Agricultural production on acid soils is representing a major problem. For this reason, we set up a field experiment on two soil types (Pseudogley, Luvisol). Liming by carbocalk was conducted on the basis of soil analysis with an application of animal manure at the same time, or after 7, 14 or 28 days. All variants of liming with the application of animal manure gave better results compared to the control. The best results of all investigated parameters (total number of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, A. chroococcum, cellulolytic microorganisms, pH, phosphorus, potassium) were obtained in the variant by application of carbocalk and animal manure at the same time.

The presented results are part of a research project of the Osijek-Baranja County: "The influence of liming and organic fertilization on soil microbial activity in the soil".
