“…During the 2 yr of the study, the barley and wheat biomass yields (Table 2) were generally similar to or somewhat higher than those in the region (barley yields of 2.1–4.0 Mg ha −1 in 2001 and 2002, with adequate soil moisture condition [Buckley et al, 2011], and wheat yields of 2.7– 3.9 Mg ha −1 in 2002 and 2003 with dry growing seasons [Nikièma et al, 2013]). The typical recommended rate of N fertilizer for cereal crops in the study area is 75 kg N ha −1 (MAFRI, 2007).…”

“…A field experiment was conducted on a loamy sand soil overlying the Assiniboine Delta Aquifer (49°53′59′′ N, 99°20′59′′ W, and 383.5 m asl). The site, northwest of Carberry, consists of Orthic Black Chernozem (Udic Boroll) soils of the Fairland series developed on lacustrine deposits (Nikièma et al, 2013). These soils have a medium texture, with the upper 75‐ to 90‐cm soil layer classified as loamy sand, and the underlying layer as sandy loam to loam.…”

“…The long‐term field study was initiated in 2002 to monitor the effect of LHM and commercial fertilizer on nutrient movement (Nikièma et al, 2013). The experiment included six treatments: two rates of LHM (28,084 and 56,168 L ha −1 [2500 and 5000 gal acre −1 , respectively, abbreviated as LHM‐2500 and LHM‐5000]) approximating typical farm rates, two rates of fertilizer corresponding to the amounts of available N in LHM‐2500 and LHM‐5000 (abbreviated as F‐2500 and F‐5000, respectively), composted beef manure (Com‐2500), and an unamended control.…”

“…The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications for a total of 24 10‐m × 10‐m plots. One field core lysimeter was installed along the centerline of each plot, 2 m from the southern edge, to measure water and NO 3 − – N moving below the rooting zone (Nikièma et al, 2013). The lysimeters consisted of three parts (Karimi et al, 2017): the main column, a schedule 80 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe (54‐cm i.d., 106‐cm length) representing the root zone of annual crops, a circular perforated plate, and a bottom cap for collection.…”

“…Hog manure is widely applied to Canadian farmlands (Flaten et al, 2003). In Manitoba, Canada's third largest hog producer (~8 million pigs yr −1 ; Honey, 2015), ~2.5% of cropland area receives hog manure as a nutrient source (Nikièma et al, 2013). With repeated manure applications, however, organic N can accumulate in soil over several years, leading to losses through N biological transformations (Eghball, 2003; Allen et al, 2006).…”

The effect of liquid hog manure (LHM) and commercial fertilizer on NO-N leaching was measured for 2 yr in a long-term manure experiment on a loamy sand soil at Carberry, MB. The field experiment, sown to barley ( L.) and wheat ( L.), comprised six treatments including two rates of LHM (28, 084 and 56,168 L ha [2500 and 5000 gal acre, abbreviated LHM-2500 and LHM-5000, respectively]), two rates of fertilizer (abbreviated F-2500 and F-5000) corresponding approximately to available N in LHM-2500 and LHM-5000, compost (abbreviated Com-2500) supplemented with urea to approximate available N in LHM-2500, and an unamended control. In 2010, apparent losses amounted to 79 (112 kg ha), 55 (40 kg ha), 27 (19 kg ha), 24 (16 kg ha), and 6% (8 kg ha) of applied available N in F-5000, Com-2500, F-2500, LHM-2500, and LHM-5000, respectively. In 2011, losses were higher in the F-5000 (80%, 63.6 kg ha) and F-2500 (79%, 31.5 kg ha) treatments than in LHM-5000 (40%, 32 kg ha) and LHM-2500 (9%, 3.5 kg ha). Treatments that received fertilizer lost more than half of the added N by leaching. The lack of yield difference between LHM-2500 and LHM-5000 suggested that application of LHM-2500 was environmentally sound for the coarse sandy soil of the Carberry site. These findings demonstrate the potential for minimizing N leaching through judicious rates of LHM and fertilizer application.

Identifying seasons sensitive to nutrient losses could help farmers and policymakers to formulate effective nutrient loss reduction strategies. This long-term study monitored water percolation as well as nitrate (NO 3 -N) and total phosphorus (TP) leaching from liquid swine manure and chemical fertilizer applied to intact core lysimeters in a sandy loam soil in Manitoba, Canada. Water percolation, NO 3 -N, and TP leaching were monitored from 2005 to 2016. Chemical fertilizer showed greater average annual mean water percolation (p = .01), annual flow-weighted mean concentration (FWMC) of NO 3 -N (22 mg L -1 ; p < .001), and annual NO 3 -N leaching (36 kg N ha -1 ; p = .002) compared with the manure treatment (FWMC NO 3 -N, 15 mg L -1 ; NO 3 -N leaching load, 22 kg N ha -1 ). Average annual mean TP loss did not differ between treatments (p = .86). Spring (April-June) was the most sensitive season, when >75% of annual percolation, >80% of annual NO 3 -N, and >68% of annual TP leaching losses occurred from both manure and chemical fertilizer. Annual NO 3 -N and TP leaching increased exponentially with cumulative winter and spring precipitation (control, r 2 = .69; manure, r 2 = .79; chemical fertilizer, r 2 = .63) and decreased with winter and spring air temperatures. The largest spring NO 3 -N and TP leaching losses were observed in 2013, which followed the dry year of 2012, indicating the potential for nutrient flushing. The findings emphasize the need for environmentally sound N and P management strategies in cold North American regions underlain by coarse-textured soils, particularly during the spring season.
