Abstract

This document presents the partial results of the physicochemical and microbiological characterization of the soil from samples taken at 15 and 45 cm depth prior to the establishment of the different tillage and fertilizer treatments. Concerning the values observed in the physical and chemical parameters, no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed between samples from both depths. The microbiological analysis was conducted with soil samples taken at 15 cm depth from three tillage systems, considering the control treatment and the treatment with organic fertilization with poultry manure. Aerobic bacteria and actinomycetes counts did not show statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). Anaerobic, coliform, and fungal counts were statistically different (p > 0.05) between treatments due to the presence of organic fertilizer. However, no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) was observed between the three tillage systems. In a second culture cycle, the effect of different concentrations of organic matter was evaluated, where T1(N: 60, P: 65.5, K: 74.4) showed the higher CFU g-1 (Log) of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi, while T3 had the highest CFU of coliforms. These results are important to understand soil dynamics better and inform agricultural and soil management practices. In addition, they highlight the importance of proper use of organic fertilizers and the need for further research to determine how they affect long-term soil health and quality.
