1. Evaluation of Plant-Available Phosphorus of Dried Residuals from Wastewater Processed for Phosphorus Reduction with Aluminum or IronABSTRACT Wastewater effluent from industrial and municipal water treatment plants requires phosphorus (P) removal before being discharged to surface waters. The resulting residual materials, with elevated P concentration, are usually land applied. Basing P application rates on the nutrient value for crops is the most rational way to utilize this P resource because it would improve farmers economic return while... |
2. High Gypsum Application Rates Impacts on Iowa Soil Properties, Dissolved Phosphorus Loss, and Crop YieldGypsum (calcium sulfate) is a common sulfur (S) source for crops and rates in the northcentral region seldom are > 250 lb/acre. It is known that even higher gypsum rates do not raise soil pH. Research in eastern or southeast states showed that in some conditions high gypsum rates can improve other chemical or physical properties and can reduce dissolved phosphorus (P) loss from fields. However, little research has evaluated potential benefits in prairie-developed soils of Iowa and the region.... A.P. Mallarino, M.U. Haq |
3. Pelleted Lime Application Strategies for Iowa Corn and Soybean ProductionResearch has shown inconsistent results about the efficiency of pelleted lime at increasing soil pH or crop yield compared with aglime. Our previous Iowa research (2015-2016) showed that pelleted lime manufactured with limestone from northern Iowa quarries attained maximum soil pH with the same rate and at the same time than finely ground calcium carbonate, but more time was needed for aglime. However, there were no yield differences between the sources for corn-soybean rotations when one-time... A.P. Mallarino, M.U. Haq |
