“…of continuous annual manure application. This Sparks (1996) could be attributed to the fact that the amount of Co applied over the years was probably low compared to the natural content of Co in these soils (Benke et al 2008, Miller et al 2018. Different results were found by Tlustoš et al (2016), who reported that long-term farmyard manure application did not significantly change the pseudo-total and potentially mobilizable element contents.…”

“…The total Cu content in manure reported in previous studies varied from 6.7 to 71.1 mg/kg. For total Zn, values ranged from 63 to 332.6 mg/kg (Nicholson et al 1999, Sager 2007, Benke et al 2008, Miller et al 2018. The main source of trace elements is the mineral core used for livestock feed which conditions the trace element content in manure (Miller et al 1991).…”

The use of feedlot cattle manure appears as an important source of certain trace metals in soils that can be mobilized by water modifying the surface and groundwater quality. The current study is focused on assessing the availability of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) in manure from confined beef cattle systems and different soils of the Chaco-pampean plain, using a sequential extraction scheme. Soils and bovine manure coming from intensive (IS) and extensive (ES) beef cattle systems were collected. Total contents of Cu, Zn, Co and Mo were determined after microwave assisted acid digestion. Availability was evaluated through sequential extraction, including water-soluble and exchangeable fraction (EXCH), organic matter bound fraction (OM), inorganic precipitated fraction (INOR), and residual fraction (RES). Total Cu and Zn contents found in manure coming from IS were higher than the concentration of the aforementioned trace elements determined in all soils and manure analyzed from ES. EXCH-Cu only appears in IS cattle manure samples, while EXCH-Zn found in IS manure samples were higher than the soils samples analyzed. The higher levels of total and availability forms of Cu and Zn determined in IS manure compared to soils samples, require considering when this organic amendment is applied as fertilizer. These results indicate that the reuse of intensive cattle manure as fertilizer in agricultural areas could provide available forms of metals in soils and could contribute to reduce the environmental impact caused by the accumulation of excreta in pen soils during long periods in farms.

“…Previous studies have shown that PRs are the primary source of trace elements (TEs) incorporated into mineral fertilizer, such as V, Cr, As, Se, Mo, Cd, and U. − Accumulation of some of these elements has been observed in agricultural soils and can be highly variable based on fertilizer utilization and soil chemical properties. ,− Several studies have investigated the Sr isotope ratio ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) in PRs, − and one study has shown the similarity between the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio of PRs and mineral fertilizers originating from the same geographical region . Additionally, a few studies have characterized and applied the Sr isotope ratio of fertilizer as a tracer for delineating their environmental impact. ,− However, these studies have investigated the occurrence of TEs and the utility of Sr isotopes only in specific case studies.…”

Fertilizer utilization is critical for food security. This study examines the occurrence of trace elements (TEs) and Sr isotope (87Sr/86Sr) variations in phosphate rocks and mineral fertilizers from a sample collection representative of major phosphate producing countries. We show high concentrations of several TEs in phosphate rocks (n = 76) and their selective enrichment in phosphate fertilizers (n = 40) of specific origin. Consistent with the concentrations in parent phosphate rocks, phosphate fertilizers from the U.S. and Middle East have substantially higher concentrations of U, Cd, Cr, V, and Mo than those in fertilizers from China and India. Yet, fertilizers from China and India generally have higher concentrations of As. The 87Sr/86Sr in phosphate fertilizers directly mimic the composition of their source phosphate rocks, with distinctive higher ratios in fertilizers from China and India (0.70955–0.71939) relative to phosphate fertilizers from U.S. and Middle East (0.70748–0.70888). Potash fertilizers have less Sr and TEs and higher 87Sr/86Sr (0.72017–0.79016), causing higher 87Sr/86Sr in mixed NPK-fertilizers. Selective extraction (Mehlich III) of soils from an experimental agricultural site shows relative enrichment of potentially plant-available P, Sr, and TEs in topsoil, which is associated with Sr isotope variation toward the 87Sr/86Sr of the local utilized phosphate fertilizer.
