1. Effect of Manure Sources on Soil Phosphorus DynamicsPhosphorus (P) is essential for crop production, but it also causes water quality issues such as algal blooms. Crops typically utilize only 10-20% of applied P; the remainder accumulates in soil or is eroded/leached into water bodies, resulting in reduced fertilizer use efficiency and increased risk of eutrophication. This study evaluated the effects of different organic fertilization strategies on soil P pools across two sites in Ohio. Treatments included two manure-amended sites, one receiving... J. Singh, J.

2. Phosphorus Fertilizer Management: Implications on Crop Yields and Soil P BudgetsRecent volatility in fertilizer prices, declining commodity values, and increasing water quality concerns have intensified scrutiny around phosphorus (P) management decisions in Ohio. In response, we initiated a field trial to evaluate crop yield response and soil phosphorus budgets under various P application strategies within a corn–soybean rotation during the 2024 and 2025 growing seasons. The study investigated two P application timings (fall and spring), two fertilizer sources (triple... M. Rakkar, B. Robinson |
