Organic waste of animal origin, commonly referred to as manure, has become a problem since the beginning of intensive pig farming. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity of soybean and maize crops subjected to the application of different doses of liquid pig manure (LPM). The treatments consisted of applying eight doses of pig manure to the second corn crop and seven doses to the soybean crop, plus a chemical treatment. Simple superphosphate and potassium chloride were used as chemical fertilisers. The phytotechnical characteristics evaluated in corn were hectolitre weight, thousand-grain weight, and grain productivity, and in soybeans, thousand-grain weight and estimated productivity. Pig manure has fertilising potential as a complement to chemicals in the crops tested. There were no chemical changes in the soil with only one application of pig manure in the fertilisation of the maize crop. In the first application, the dose of 350 m3 ha-1 of DLS provided higher productivity for the maize crop. After two applications, the dose of 233 m3 ha-1 of DLS provided higher productivity for the soybean crop.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
