“…The N compounds found in dairy manure are a combination of endogenous N from within the digestive tract of the animal and fiber N, with the endogenous N being more quickly mineralized (Powell & Broderick, 2011). Cattle manure tends to have higher amounts of lignin-cutin compounds compared to poultry or swine as well as other N fractions with a high level of recalcitrance that are more resistant to degradation and subsequently provide a long-term supply of N (Aranguren et al, 2021;Artur et al, 2021). Several studies have reported that as the C:N ratio of the manure increases, mineralization decreases (Alizadeh et al, 2012;Antoniadis et al, 2013;Bhogal et al, 2016;Heijboer et al, 2016;Ige et al, 2015).…”

“…However, the recalcitrance of organic N compounds in the organic amendment may have a larger impact than just the C:N ratio (Artur et al., 2021; Heijboer et al., 2016). Additionally, cattle manures tend to have higher lignin–cutin compounds than poultry and pig manures, which can decrease N mineralization due to resistance to degradation compared with these other manures (Aranguren et al., 2021).…”

Approximately 37% of US milk production occurs in semiarid regions providing an opportunity to recycle manure nutrients through a variety of cropping systems. Accurate prediction of nitrogen (N) mineralization is critical to determine manure application suitability in intensive irrigated agriculture as many crops in the region have quality parameters that are sensitive to N. Research was conducted in southcentral Idaho to evaluate N mineralization via a buried bag methodology to develop a predictive N‐mineralization model. The study was arranged in a randomized complete block design with manure application rates of 18, 36, and 52 Mg ha−1 (dry wt. basis) both annually and biennially with synthetic fertilizer and untreated check treatments. The crop rotation included small‐grain and broadleaf crops. In the final year of the study, preplant soil organic carbon (SOM), TN, and NO3‐N concentrations were positively linearly correlated with manure application rate. Nearly five‐times as much N was mineralized annually in the 0 to 30 cm depth as compared to the 30 to 60 cm depth. Increased rates of N mineralization for each kg of added N occurred in years when residue from broadleaf crops (slope = 0.17) was applied as compared to years with manure only application (slope = 0.07). Stepwise modelling determined that the most predictive model for seasonal N mineralization (R2 = 0.79) included manure N, residue N, soil organic matter, and electrical conductivity. These results allow preplant N mineralization estimation and will prove critical for managing manure in semiarid regions for agronomic, economic, and environmentally sound crop production.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Studies have shown a positive correlation between BL application rate and nutrient release (Eghball et al, 2002). Soils with higher litter application rates released faster and greater proportion of N, phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) than soils with lower litter application rates, and the nutrient release rate peaked in the first 2 months with no clear noticeable variations after 3 months (Aranguren et al, 2021;Pitta et al, 2012). Nevertheless, according to Adeli et al (2006), there was no difference in bermudagrass nutrient uptake in BL when applied at 4.6, 9.2, or 13.8 Mg ha −1 .…”

“…Cleanout frequency of litter can impact nutrient concentrations as well as nutrient mineralization. We hypothesize that the frequency of BL removal from poultry houses (also referred to hereafter as the age of BL) will affect the nutrient mineralization patterns due to natural decomposition in the poultry houses over time (Aranguren et al., 2021; Hossain et al., 2010). Another factor that could influence the pattern of nutrient mineralization in BL is the application rate.…”

Broiler litter (BL), a byproduct of the broiler (Gallus gallus sp.) production cycle, can be regarded as a beneficial organic source to supply essential nutrients for crop growth. Understanding BL nutrient mineralization helps producers better manage nutrients on farms. However, the effects of BL age (length of time BL stays in poultry house before it is cleaned out, also known as the clean out frequency of BL) and application rate on the mineralization of BL nutrients are still poorly understood. Therefore, a 150‐day laboratory incubation study investigated the influence of BL age (6, 18, and 30 months) and application rate (5 and 10 Mg ha−1) on nutrient mineralization. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with three replications. Soil samples were collected at day 0, 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 and analyzed for nitrogen (N) species nitrate, ammonium, total N, and water‐extractable nutrients (water‐extractable phosphorus, potassium [WEK], calcium [WECa], magnesium [WEMg], iron [WEFe], copper [WECu], zinc (WEZn), boron [WEB], and manganese [WEMn]). Results showed that BL nutrient mineralization was affected by BL age or application rate, except WEFe. A greater amount of nitrate‐N was released during the first month, suggesting faster nitrification during the first 30 days after application. Mineral N (sum of nitrate‐ and ammonium‐N) release was more significant with the increasing age of BL and application rate. Greater availability of WEK, WECa, WEMg, and WEB was found in 18‐ and 30‐month BL from 10 Mg ha−1, and lowest in 6‐month BL from 5 Mg ha−1, whereas 6‐month BL with 10 Mg ha−1 has the greatest WECu. Our results suggested that older BL (30 months) with a greater application rate (10 Mg ha−1) had greater nutrient supply potential.

Short‐term effects of a heavy dairy manure application on soil chemical and biological indicators in an irrigated semiarid cropping system

Intensive dairy production in southern Idaho is associated with the annual application of manure to croplands. However, a one‐time heavy application of manure could alternatively be used as a means to improve soil fertility and health for years or even decades, circumventing the need for frequent applications. To determine if this practice would negatively affect soil properties in the short term, we analyzed chemical and biological indicators of soil health for 2 years after dairy manure incorporation. Soil indicators measured were pH, electrical conductivity, extractable nitrogen (N) and phosphorus, total carbon (C) and N, enzyme activities, net N mineralization, soil organic C, soil protein, active C, ammonia oxidation potential, and particulate organic matter. Manure (with and without synthetic fertilizer) was found to significantly affect chemical and biological indicators in both topsoil (0–15 cm) and subsoil (15–30 cm), but the responses were greater in the subsoil. This can be attributed to the fact that manure was incorporated to approximately 30 cm via moldboard plow. All indicators responded positively to manure, except pH, which decreased slightly in the subsoil in the first year after application. Principal component analysis of chemical and biological indicators, across all years and depths, showed that the first two components explained 62% and 8.5% of the variance. While soil indicators were not adversely affected by manure, silage corn (Zea mays L.) yields in year 1 were significantly lower in manured plots, though in year 2, barley grain (Hordeum vulgare L.) yields were statistically similar among manure and fertilizer.
