Figure 1

Changes in soil pH (a) and soil electric conductivity (EC, (b)) at the harvest on November 7, 2012, and soil pH (c) and soil EC (d) on November 16, 2013. For plots 1–3, animals were mainly buried in plot 3, sanitizing and slaughtering materials were mainly buried in plot 1, and both of animals and materials were buried in plot 2. Abbreviations of species are as follows: napiergrass cv. Wruk wona (WK), and dwarf variety of late-heading type (DL), maize (cv. Ohka, MZ), and sorghum (cv. Sanjaku sorgo, SR). shows the difference between BU and BO areas at 5% level.
