Several MBFs with different tailored N:P ratios (0.5:1, 1:1 and 2:1) were produced to determine their agronomic value in a pot experiment with oat (0.5:1 ratio: cattle manure with pig slurry (CaM+PiS), cattle manure with poultry manure (CaM+PoM) and poultry manure with superphosphate (PoM+SP); 1:1 ratio: poultry manure with cattle slurry (PoM+CaS) and poultry manure with pig slurry (PoM+PiS); 2:1 ratio: cattle slurry with the liquid fraction of cattle slurry (CaS+CaS-LIQ), pig slurry with the liquid fraction of pig slurry (PiS+PiS-LIQ) and poultry manure with urea (PoM+U)). The performance of these MBFs was compared with conventional mineral fertilizers (MFs) in sandy soils (Haplic Arenosols) with different nutrient requirements. Oat fertilized with PoM+SP (0.5:1) and PoM+PiS (1:1) led to yields similar to those obtained with the use of MFs (6.3 and 7.2 mg DM, respectively). The MBFs PoM+SP and PoM+PiS, as well as PiS+PiS-LIQ (2:1), were agronomically equivalent to the MFs. N uptake with those MBFs was equivalent to that obtained with the MFs. Replacing MFs with MBFs in the basal fertilization of oat was demonstrated to be a solution to turn agriculture more sustainable by recycling nutrients efficiently.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/agronomy13010140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T02:23:06Z","timestamp":1672626186000},"page":"140","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Assessment of the Agronomic Value of Manure-Based Fertilizers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Joana","family":"Prado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LEAF, TERRA, Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de Lisboa, 1349-017 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6101-9210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Fangueiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LEAF, TERRA, Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de Lisboa, 1349-017 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3225-3358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula","family":"Alvarenga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LEAF, TERRA, Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de Lisboa, 1349-017 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7914-620X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henrique","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LEAF, TERRA, Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de Lisboa, 1349-017 Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Iqbal, A., He, L., Khan, A., Wei, S., Akhtar, K., Ali, I., Ullah, S., Munsif, F., Zhao, Q., and Jiang, L.
