e1“applying compost as an organic nitrogen source, either at a rate of 100% or combined with 50% ammonia sulfate (fast-release) or 50% Enciabeen (slow-release), was highly effective in reducing soil bulk density, improving soil fertility and water movement, and controlling nitrogen loss compared to using nitrogen entirely in mineral form”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Compost as the organic nitrogen source improved soil fertility and water movement compared with mineral nitrogen alone.
- Intervention effect Compost as the organic nitrogen source controlled nitrogen loss compared with mineral nitrogen alone.
- Intervention effect Co-applying mineral nitrogen at 50% ammonia sulfate and 50% Enciabeen gave a yield increase of 18% in the first season compared with 100% ammonia sulfate.
- Intervention effect Co-applying mineral nitrogen at 50% ammonia sulfate and 50% Enciabeen gave a yield increase of 43% in the second season compared with 100% ammonia sulfate.
- Intervention effect Co-applying mineral nitrogen with compost or slow-release fertilizer gave a gradual improvement in berry quality.
- Intervention effect Co-applying mineral nitrogen with 50% ammonia sulfate and 50% Enciabeen increased total soluble solids, berry weight and berry dimensions.
- Intervention effect Co-applying mineral nitrogen with 50% ammonia sulfate and 50% Enciabeen increased TSS/acid and total sugars.
- Recommendation Combining mineral fertilizers with organic materials is the most effective approach to improving soil characteristics and seedless grapevine quality, and to reducing nitrogen loss.
- Intervention effect Adding compost to farmland improved most physical and hydraulic soil properties.
