| Popis: | This study compared the fertiliser effects of different types of liquid anaerobic digestates on the growth of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.), and on soil's primary plant macronutrients and microbial abundance. A factorial design with seven fertilisers and one control (five liquid anaerobic digestates, undigested cattle slurry, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) 27% N, and no fertiliser) and four plant schemes (monocultures of perennial ryegrass and white clover, a mix of both, and bare soil) were tested. Plant (forage yield, leaf area index (LAI), canopy height and root mass) and soil (concentrations of total N, Morgan's extracted P and K) responses were measured, as well as soil bacterial/archaeal (16S) and fungal (18S) gene copy numbers (GCN). Digestates and cattle slurry with different chemical compositions, when balanced in terms of the quantity of dry matter applied, had comparable forage yield responses (p > 0.05), with higher yields than CAN mostly observed in ryegrass and mixed vegetation (p |
