Eichhornia crassipes is an aquatic plant present in bodies of water with excess nutrients, which favors its growth and causes negative environmental and social impacts, a situation that promotes the search for alternatives for its use. The objective was to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of E. crassipes as a substrate for germination in vegetables and in the form of bocashi for radish development. As a germinative substrate, dry and ground E. crassipes was mixed in four different proportions with compost and agrolite, considering a control treatment of 100 % E. crassipes. Under a completely randomized design, seeds of Solanum lycopersicum, Cucurbita pepo and Cucumis sativus were germinated. In another trial, a bochashi was carried out with fresh E. crassipes, which was applied at doses of 0 %, 15 %, 30 % and 45 % in Raphanus sativus. Germination varied in the treatments with E. crassipes from 0-99 %. Amounts of 25 % and 50 % of E. crassipes showed the best physical and chemical characteristics as substrates. Bocashi made with E. crassipes showed advantages in radish bulb quality, indicating a dose of 15 % as recommended for its production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bocashi is an organic fermented fertilizer, originating from Japan, made from organic waste such as manure, straw, rice husk, charcoal, yeast, molasses, and rock dust. Its fermentation process takes two to three weeks, during which regular aeration is maintained to prevent unpleasant odors and toxic gases. Among its benefits enhances the physical and chemical properties of the soil by improving water retention, stimulating microbial activity. These benefits lead to healthier, more resilient crops and make Bocashi an important tool for organic agriculture, particularly on small-scale farms. On a global scale, Bocashi offers a practical solution for soil fertility recovery and food self-sufficiency, particularly in developing countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se determinó el efecto de bocashi (B, compost fermentado) y fertilizantes de liberación lenta (SRFs) sobre la colonización micorrízica (MC), la actividad de invertasa, celulasa, fosfatasa ácida (AcP) y alcalina (AlP) y el rendimiento de maíz en suelos de terraza (TS) y valle (VS) en Oaxaca, México. Se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar con siete tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones: control (C) sin fertilización; fertilización convencional (CF) (90-46-00 NPK); B; SRF1 (Multigro 6®, 21-14- 10 NPK); SRF2 (Multigro 3®, 24-05-14 NPK); B+SRF1; B+SRF2. El porcentaje más alto de colonización micorrízica fue con CF en VS, y con SRF2 en TS. La mayor longitud de micelio extraradical se registró con B, B+SRF1 y CF en VS, y con B+SRF1 en TS. En ambos suelos, B incrementó el número de esporas. La actividad más alta de AcP fue con B y SRF2 en VS, y con B+SRF1 y B+SRF2 en TS. La actividad más alta de AlP se detectó con B+SRF1 y CF en VS y con C en TS. La actividad más alta de invertasa se encontró con B+SRF1, SRF2 y CF en VS y con B en TS. El rendimiento de grano incrementó solamente con B en VS. La interacción significativa tipo de suelo × tratamiento de fertilización, para la mayoría de las propiedades biológicas analizadas, sugiere que la respuesta de la colonización micorrízica y de la actividad enzimática a la fertilización, estuvo determinada por el tipo de suelo. Bocashi sola o combinada con SRFs puede mejorar la fertilidad biológica del suelo en cultivos de maíz.

Today, the agricultural sciences face the double challenge of meeting the increasing global food demand and ensuring a sustainable development for humanity. In this study we focused on the coffee production system, evaluating the hypothesis of whether, in the region of the study, the use of organic fertilizers for this crop offers equivalent or better results than those obtained by using traditional fertilizers. Specifically, we aimed to: Evaluate the use of bocashi (fermented rice bran) and worm compost as organic fertilizers to promote vegetative growth, and plant health in the coffee crop; and determine the influence of temperature in preparing bocashi. We applied a randomized complete blocks design with three treatments: bocashi, worm compost and traditional organic compost. The evaluated variables were: plant height, number of leaves per plant, and the incidence of fungal pathogens. Three farms were chosen in different localities in the Municipality of Ocamonte-Santander to cover the agro-climatic conditions of the region, the Castillo variety was used. Physical-chemical soil analysis was performed in order to determine the nutrients available to plants at the moment of planting. Chemical analysis was also performed for the organic composts in order to determine their influence on the evaluated variables. Our results allowed us to accept the hypothesis. Although, the bocashi showed greater values in terms of chemical composition compared with the worm compost, the latter induced a more favorable response in vegetative development in coffee plants.

Between June and September 2012 in field condition in agroecological farm was carried out an investigation using a randomised block experimental design with four treatments and four repetitions with the objective to evaluate the effect of different doses of organic fertilizer bocashi in pepper crop (Capsicum annuum L.).The treatment consisted in the application of different doses of organic fertilizer bocashi (1.66, 2.22, 2.78 tha-1 and a control treatment without application). The results were evaluated by means of the pro-gram Statistica version 8.0, for windows, where the indicators used showed significant differences multiple comparison of Tukey was applied to p ≤ 0.05. The variable evaluated were: height of the plants (cm), steam diameter (cm),yield and their components (number fruit.plant -1, average weigh of fruit (g), average diameter of fruit (cm) and average large of fruit (cm)). The treatment where was applied doses of 2.22 and 2.78 tha-1 of organic fertilizer bocashi was obtained the best results in productive indicator evaluated with securities in the agricultural yield of 33.4 and 32.9 tha-1

El objetivo de este estudio fue validar el potencial de cuatro alternativas de biofertilización para la producción de cebolla de bulbo en Cucaita, Boyacá. Los tratamientos evaluados fueron: a) bocashi gallinaza, caldo super cuatro y fertilizante (BgCSF);b) bocashi bovinaza, caldo super cuatro y fertilizante (BbCSF); c) bocashi gallinaza, caldo super cuatro, caldo rizósfera y fertilizante (BgCSCRF); d) bocashi bovinaza, caldo super cuatro, caldo rizósfera y fertilizante (BbCSCRF); e) testigo regional (TR); y f) testigo absoluto (TA). Como diseño experimental se aplicaron bloques completos al azar con seis tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones. Las variables determinadas fueron: ‘incidencia de enfermedades’, ‘número de bulbos’, ‘peso de bulbos sanos y enfermos’, ‘peso total de bulbos’ y ‘diámetro del bulbo’. Los resultados indican que, tanto los bocashis como los caldos super cuatro y rizósfera, aportan una gran cantidad y diversidad de microorganismos benéficos que son importantes para la nutrición balanceada de la planta y su defensa contra los fitopatógenos. La menor incidencia de enfermedades se presentó significativamente en los tratamientos BgCSF y BbCSCRF. En cuanto a las variables relacionadas con producción, aunque ninguna de las alternativas de biofertilización se diferenció significativamente del TR, las que incluyen bocashi, caldo rizósfera, caldo super cuatro y una adecuada dosis de fertilizante químico se perfilan como las más promisorias puesto que, además de producir desde el inicio resultados similares a los obtenidos con la técnica convencional del agricultor, poseen un potencial microbiológico y químico que es esencial para la sostenibilidad de la producción y la preservación del ambiente en el futuro.

Any improvement in agricultural systems that results in higher production should also reduce negative environmental impacts and enhance sustainability. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of two different production systems, one open-field and the other shade-enclosure with four bocashi doses, in order to find the best environmental option in terms of yield, physiological and morphometric characteristics in one oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) cultivar. In this study a completely randomized block design was used with four replications and evaluated for photosynthetic and transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll, leaf area and temperature, aerial and roots fresh and dry biomass, fresh and dry yield. The results showed that oregano adapted best to the shade-enclosure with increase yield of fresh and dry leaf weight of 165% and 118%, respectively, when compared to open-field. Also, higher doses of bocashi improved yield in both environments but more so in shade-enclosure. Soil moisture retention was higher in shade-enclosure which was reflected in physiological variables for soil matric potential, transpiration, stomatal conductivity, photosynthesis being significantly higher in shade-enclosure compared to open-field, thus improving yield. It seems that oregano plants can be grown and perform better under shade-enclosure than open-field and bocashi is a suitable organic fertilizer.

Se evaluaron seis tratamientos de abonos orgánicos elaborados a partir de subproductos del procesamiento de fique (Furcraea gigantea Vent.) como alternativa para suplir los requerimientos nutricionales del cultivo de maíz (Zea mays L.) en el Municipio de Guaitarilla (Nariño, Colombia). Para la elaboración de los abonos se empleó la técnica Bocashi modificada, evaluando tres relaciones carbono:nitrógeno (10:1, 20:1 y 30:1) y dos fuentes de microorganismos descomponedores (microrganismos efectivos (EM) y levadura comercial). Cada tratamiento fue evaluado en campo utilizando un diseño de bloques completos al azar con arreglo factorial donde el factor A correspondió a los diferentes abonos orgánicos (Ta-Tf) y el factor B a las dosis de fertilización: 3, 6 y 9 t/ha, adicionalmente se valoró un testigo con fertilización química (Tq) y un testigo sin fertilización (To). Como variables de respuesta se estudiaron la altura de la planta (AP), rendimiento (RTO), número de granos por mazorca (GM) y peso de cien granos (PC). El mejor tratamiento fue Tb (20:1+EM), el cual superó de forma significativa (P

The effect of Bokashi (B, a fermented compost), slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) and their combined application on mycorrhizal colonization (MC), soil invertase, cellulase, acid (AcP) and alkaline (AlP) phosphatases activities and maize (Zea mays L.) yield was investigated in terrace (TS) and valley (VS) soils in Oaxaca, Mexico. A complete randomized design, seven fertilizer treatments and four replications were used: unamended control (C); conventional fertilization (90-46-00 NPK) (CF); B; SRF1 (Multigro 6®, 21-14-10 NPK); SRF2 (Multigro 3®, 24-05-14 NPK); B+SRF1; B+SRF2. Highest root colonization percentage: CF in VS, and SRF2 in TS. Highest extraradical mycelium length: B, B+SRF1, CF in VS, and B+SRF1 in TS. In both soils, B increased the spore number. Highest AcP activity: B, SRF2 in VS, and B+SRF1, B+SRF2 in TS. Highest AlP activity: B+SRF1, CF in VS, and C in TS. Highest invertase activity: B+SRF1, SRF2, CF in VS, and B in TS. Grain yield only increased with B in VS. The significant interaction soil type × fertilizer treatment for the majority of the biological soil properties analyzed suggests that MC and soil enzyme activity response to fertilization was influenced by soil type. Bokashi, alone or combined with SRFs improves biological soil fertility in maize fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Six treatments of organic fertilizers made with fique's (Furcraea gigantea Vent.) processing by products were evaluated as an option to supply the nutritional requirements in corn plant's (Zea mays L.), in the municipality of Guaitarrilla (Nariño, Colombia). To made the organic fertilizers, the Bocashi modified method was used, where three carbon:nitrogen relationship (10:1, 20:1 and 30:1) and two different decomposing microorganisms (effective microorganisms (EM) and commercial yeast) were evaluated. Each treatment was evaluated on the field using a completely randomized block design with factorial arrangement, where factor A was the different organic fertilizers (Ta-Tf) and factor B was the fertilization dosage: 3, 6, and 9 t/ha. Further a chemical fertilizer treatment (Tq) was used as a reference and a no fertilized plot (To). The response variables studied were the plant height (AP), the plant productivity (RTO), the number of grains per ear (GM) and the weight of one hundred grains (PC). The best treatment was Tb (20:1+EM), which exceeded significantly (P≤0,05) the chemical fertilizer in the variables: AP, RTO and PC; it was concluded that is possible use the organic fertilizer obtained from fique's byproducts as an option to chemical fertilization in corn plants production.
