abstract = {Every year the Brazilian sugarcane industry generates up to
10 million tons (dry matter) of ash from the combustion of
sugarcane bagasse, which is a fibrous plant material that
remains after sugarcane juice extraction. Bagasse ash is
alkaline and contains minerals, including phosphorus (P) and
potassium (K). Bagasse ash as a P-fertilizer has been poorly
investigated. The experiments conducted and presented in
this dissertation were aimed at investigating the
fertilization effects of bagasse and bagasse-based ashes
following a “From Lab to Field” approach. Soybean
(Glycine max) was chosen as a model plant because of its
suitability for greenhouse and field experiments, relevance
for the Brazilian economy and use as rotation crop after
sugarcane harvest. The aims of the present study were i) to
investigate the efficiency of bagasse ash as a fertilizer
for soybeans, ii) to identify factors integral to its
fertilization success, and iii) to analyse the potential of
bagasse ash as an additive to conventional and organic
fertilizers under field conditions. In greenhouse pot
experiments on nutrient-poor substrate, soybeans fertilized
with bagasseashes accumulated significantly less dry matter
and took up less P and K than from triplesuperphosphate
(TSP) and potassium sulphate. The fertilization effects of
bagasse ashes were driven by the availability of P, a result
supported by solubility analyses in various extraction
solutions. The application of large dosages of ash produced
comparable amounts of biomass as TSP-fertilized plants, but
the uptake of P remained significantly lower than that from
TSP. This is potentially related to suboptimal
concentrations and ratios of minerals supplied by large
dosages of ash. Co-combustion of bagasse with chicken
manure, which is poor in Fe and Al but rich in alkali and
alkaline earth metals, altered the physical and chemical
composition of the ashes and their thermochemical products.
The resulting increase in availability of P to soybeans
appears to be due to the formation of Ca-alkali phosphates,
as determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. Under
greenhouse conditions in Oxisol soil, the P-fertilization
effects of bagasse-based ash and its thermochemical products
on soybean remained significantly lower than from TSP. This
was probably due tofewer soluble P-forms in ash as compared
to TSP, an increase in pH and suboptimal nutrient ratios and
nutrient concentrations; all of which affected the ability
of this fertilizer to meet the P demand for soybeans. Under
field conditions (Goiânia, Brazil), co-fertilization of
soybeans with bagasse ash and TSP $(70\%$ of P from bagasse
ash) allowed a reduction in the P2O5 consumption from TSP by
more than $50\%$ and increased the grain yield by $11\%.$
TSP-free fertilization of soybeans with 80 kg P2O5 in form
of bagasse ash and cattle manure compost $(50\%$ of P from
bagasse ash) increased the grain yield by $13\%.$ Both
increases are in comparison to control fertilization using
TSP alone. Overall, fertilization effects of bagasse and
bagasse-based ashes cannot compete with TSP. However, using
bagasse ash as an additive to conventional and organic
fertilizer has the potential to reduce the consumption of
rock-P based fertilizer for soybeans in the field.},
