1. Phosphorus Dynamics of Land-Applied Compost Bedded Pack Dairy Barn Product in Low and High Soil Test Phosphorus EnvironmentsCharacterizing and understanding the nutrient dynamics of land applied compost bedded pack dairy barn (CBP) products is necessary because this waste management system and its fertility use are increasingly common. An aerobic mineralization study was conducted to observe the phosphorus (P) dynamics of land-applied CBP product in low and high soil test P (STP) environments. An innovative phosphorus fractionation strategy employing UV-assisted organic P decomposition helped quantify fractions corresponding... |
2. Drainage Management and Nitrogen LossNitrate-N loss through subsurface agricultural draina ge is of local and regional concern in the Midwest. Good drainage and nitrogen management practices have the potential to reduce nitrate- N concentrations and loss from subsurface drainage systems. The five year (2005-2009) nitrogen management study in Pocahontas County, IA suggests that while fall application of fertilizer may result in higher nitrate-N concentrations than spring application during certain period of the growing season; overall,... |
