“…Cook et al (2014) also found no effect of tillage on ENT concentrations in soils after poultry litter application. Jenkins et al (2008) and Cook et al (2014) also report finding more soil samples positive for SALM under CP plots than in NT soils. These findings imply that UV radiation and desiccation increases die-off of SALM in untilled soils; however, these factors appear to be less important for survival of EC and ENT.…”

“…While some studies of manure-derived bacteria in soils show higher survival rates in NT soils compared to CP soils (Tyrrel and Quinton 2003;Hutchison et al, 2004;Rogers and Haines, 2005), other studies have reported little impact from tillage on soil bacteria concentrations after PM application. For example, Jenkins et al (2008) found no differences between EC concentrations in soil samples from CP and NT plots one day after poultry litter application and rainfall simulation. Cook et al (2014) also found no effect of tillage on ENT concentrations in soils after poultry litter application.…”

“…These systems move water quickly to surface waters, decreasing the soil's natural capacity for filtration. Bacterial transport in runoff from application of various types of manures, including poultry, has been widely studied (Soupir et al, 2006;Jenkins et al, 2008;Brooks et al, 2009;Harmel, 2009;Guzman et al, 2010;Sistani et al, 2010;Delgado et al, 2011). Laboratoryscale studies have shown that SALM and other pathogens can be transported through over 1 m of soil, and transport is controlled by soil types, hydrodynamic forces, physical filtration, and interactions between bacterial surface-charges and air, water, and soil interfaces (Haznedaroglu et al, 2009;Bech et al, 2010;Chen, 2012).…”

Application of poultry manure (PM) to cropland as fertilizer is a common practice in artificially drained regions of the Upper Midwest United States. Tile-waters have the potential to contribute pathogenic bacteria to downstream waters. This 3-year study (2010)(2011)(2012) was designed to evaluate the impacts of manure management and tillage practices on bacteria losses to drainage tiles under a wide range of field conditions. PM was applied annually in spring, prior to planting corn, at application rates ranging from 5 to 40 kg/ha to achieve target rates of 112 and 224 kg/ha nitrogen (PM1 and PM2). Control plots received no manure (PM0). Each treatment was replicated on three chisel-plowed (CP) plots and one no-till (NT) plot. Tilewater grab samples were collected weekly when tiles were flowing beginning 30 days before manure application to 100 days post application, and additional grab samples were obtained to target the full spectrum of flow conditions. Manure and tile-water samples were analyzed for the pathogen,Salmonella spp. (SALM), and fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), Escherichia coli (EC), and enterococci (ENT). All three bacterial genera were detected more frequently, and at significantly higher concentrations, in tile-waters draining NT plots compared to CP plots. Transport of bacteria to NT tiles was most likely facilitated by macropores, which were significantly more numerous above tiles in NT plots in 2012 as determined by smoke-testing. While postmanure samples contained higher concentrations of bacteria than pre-manure samples, significant differences were not seen between low (PM1) and high (PM2) rates of PM application. The highest concentrations were observed under the NT PM2 plot in 2010 (6.6 × 10 3 cfu/100 mL EC, 6.6 × 10 5 cfu/100 mL ENT, and 2.8 × 10 3 cfu/100 mL SALM). Individual and 30-day geometric mean ENT concentrations correlated more strongly to SALM than EC; however, SALM were present in samples with little or no FIB.

Minimizing the risks associated with manure-borne pathogenic microorganisms requires an understanding of microbial survival under realistic field conditions. The objective of this 3-year study was to assess the fate of Salmonella (SALM) and fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), E. coli (EC) and enterococci (ENT), in glacial tillderived soils, after application of poultry manure (PM) to cornfields under chisel-plowed (CP) or no-till (NT) management. From 2010 to 2012, soil samples were obtained each spring at 0-15-and 15-30-cm depths, to determine whether over-wintering of target bacteria had occurred. Sampling was followed by application of PM at low (PM1) and high (PM2) rates, based on nitrogen application goals. In 2012, soil samples were collected 21, 42, and 158 days after manure application (DAM), to assess the effects of time, application rates, and tillage on frequency of detection and concentrations of target bacteria. Despite dry conditions, all three target organisms were detected 158 DAM in 2012, and detection of these organisms in spring soil samples from manured plots in 2011 and 2012, nearly a full year after PM application, suggests that these organisms can persist in the soil environment long after application. The highest SALM concentration (790 cfu/g dry weight) and detection rate (25%) was found in PM2 plots 42 DAM. SALM were detected more frequently in CP plots (20%) compared to NT plots (5%). In contrast, tillage practices had no apparent effect on EC or ENT survival, as indicated by both soil, and decay rates estimated from tile-water bacteria concentrations. Decay rate constants (μ) ranged from 0.044 to 0.065 day−1 for EC and 0.010 to 0.054 day−1 for ENT.

“…Release of nutrients from agricultural land into surface water can contribute to eutrophication and have impact on aquatic ecology. Heavy rainfall after a slurry application is the most frequent cause for the release of slurry-borne contaminants to water bodies (Jenkins et al, 2008;Kjaer et al, 2007). Pathogens from the top soil can move with both surface runoff and infiltrating water through preferential pathways, avoiding the normal filtering capacity of soils (Coffey et al, 2010;Guber et al, 2007;Jenkins et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2003).…”

a b s t r a c tSpreading of contaminants from land-applied animal slurry may create hazard for both soil and water environments. Both the leaching and persistence of the contaminants is controlled by the redistribution of the contaminants immediately after application, while the redistribution is influenced by site conditions (here different slurry dry matter content and soil texture). HYDRUS-2D was used to simulate the redistribution of water, chloride, mineral N, Salmonella Typhimurium Bacteriophage 28B (phage), Escherichia coli, and steroid hormone estrogens near the slurry injection slit over a 50-day period after slurry injection at two field sites (Silstrup and Estrup) in Denmark to estimate the controlling transport and reaction parameters based on field measurements of the contaminants. The calibrated model was thereafter used to predict the leaching potential into the subsoil. The simulations confirmed that the higher water contents measured in the slurry application slit were due to a change in the hydraulic parameters. Chloride was redistributed considerably beyond the sampled soil profile at Estrup, but not at Silstrup, which had lower hydraulic conductivities than Estrup. Average size of the microorganisms affected their mobility; the bigger the size, the higher was the effect of the site conditions. The sorption coefficient of estrogens for slurry-amended soil was remarkably lower than that for unamended soil. The study suggests that dissolved organic carbon retained in slurry can facilitate the transport of contaminants. E. coli, phage, and estrogens were vulnerable to leaching from the very first precipitation event after the slurry application, whereas mineral N started to leach when NO 3 -N accumulated. Model predictions suggest that there are potential risks of leaching of these contaminants from the top soil to the subsoil associated with the land-injected slurry.
