1. Effects of Soil Test, Tillage, and Manure and Fertilizer Application Method on Phosphorus RunoffLoss of phosphorus from agricultural lands into surface waters is of growing environmental concein. Phosphorus transported by surface runoff often ends up in streams and lakes and accelerates eutrophication, which affects the ability to use the water for drinking, fishing. recreation. etc (Foy and Withers, 1995). The niajor mechanisms by which agriculture contributes phosphorus to surface water is through runoff and erosion (Sharpley et al., 1994). Controlling run~ff and erosion from agricultural... |
2. Phosphorus Runoff From Incorporated and Surface-Applied Fertilizer and ManureContinued inputs of fertiher and manure in excess of crop requirements have led to a build-up of soil phosphorus (I?) levels, creating an environmental rather than agronomic concern (Sharpley et al., 1994). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of soil test P level, source of P amendments, tillage, and manure application method on P runoff from agricultural soils. The treatments consisted of swine manure surface applied and injected at rates of 29 and 59 Ib acre-' of P, and triple... |
