1. Effect of Alum Water Treatment Residuals on Soils with Very High Bray P1 Soil Test LevelsAs point discharges of phosphorus (P) and other pollutants to surface waters from industrial and municipal wastewater systems have been reduced, nonpoint sources of P are now contributing a greater portion of P inputs into freshwater resources. Agricultural runoff and/or erosion can be a main contributor to this nonpoint source pollution. Continued inputs of fertilizer and manure P in excess of crop requirements have led to a build-up of soil P levels which are of environmental, rather than agronomic... |
2. Lower Soil Test P Values Do Not Affect Crop Yield Values when Under Conservation PracticesSustainable P management in cropping systems is a challenge in modern agriculture. Phosphorus moving from agricultural fields to aquatic ecosystems resulting in eutrophication and other water quality problems continues to be a challenging issue for the agricultural community to solve. Despite the large amount of P in agricultural soils, most P is held within insoluble complexes, making this pool of P unavailable to plants. The implementation of conservation practices of no-till and high residue... C. Winter, D. Clark, S. Ireland, D. Beck |
