“…The average annual PO4-P concentrations in tile drainage water ranged from 0.009 to 0.038 ppm for PM2 treatment. The highest PO4-P concentrations (two samples of 0.127 ppm and one sample of 0.173) were measured from a total of three samples collected from the PM2 drainage plots within two weeks of the crops being planted in early to late May in 1998 and1999. This highest value measured coincides with an exceptionally high PM2 application rate and manure PO4-P content in 1999 (Table 3), and the second highest annual rainfall amounts recorded during the study period (data not shown).This combination of increased PO4-P applications from poultry manure, increased rainfall amounts, and stage of crop growth likely had a strong impact PO4-P transport to subsurface drainage water.…”

Long-term application of manure can lead to phosphorus accumulation in the soil and increase the risk of P delivery to tile drainage waters. A long-term study (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)) was conducted on eight tile-drained field plots, ranging in size from 0.19 to 0.47 ha, to investigate the effects of long-term surface application of poultry manure on soil phosphorus dynamics and PO4-P loss in tile drainage in Iowa under a corn-soybean rotation system. The experimental treatments included two poultry manure treatments, applied on an N basis at target rates of 168 kg N ha−1 (PM) and 336 kg N ha−1 (PM2), each with three replications, and one chemical fertilizer treatment of urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at a rate of 168 kg N ha−1 with two replications. Actual manure application rates and estimated plant available N (PAN) varied annually. Bray1-P methods were used to analyze deep core soil samples at five depths (0-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-90, and 90-120 cm), which were collected in the spring and fall on the half of each plot planted to corn. Tile drainage samples were collected from each actively draining plot equipped throughout the spring and fall drainage season each year, and PO4-P concentrations were analyzed. The results of this study indicated PM2 and PM resulted in a statistically significant increase in topsoil P at 0-30 cm, with no significant movement of P to deeper soil depths. Although an increase in topsoil P levels was observed with poultry manure application, average annual tile drainage P concentrations were not statistically different throughout the study with average PO4-P concentrations of 0.019 ppm with PM2 application and 0.011 and 0.012 ppm for PM and UAN, respectively. Poultry manure application at agronomical recommended application rates may be an environmentally sound fertilizer option for tile drained fine-loamy, calcareous soils under a corn-soybean rotation. However, surface runoff was not evaluated in this study, and high P levels in topsoil could contribute to elevated PO4-P runoff losses. Abstract. Long-term application of manure can lead to phosphorus accumulation in the soil and increase the risk of P delivery to tile drainage waters. A long-term study (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)) was conducted on eight tile drained field plots, ranging in size from 0.19 ha to 0.47 ha, to investigate the effects of long-term surface application of poultry manure on soil phosphorus dynamics and PO4-P loss in tile drainage in Iowa under a corn-soybean rotation system.

“…A substantial number of studies have been conducted to determine the eff ects of N-based broiler litter on corn (Zea mays L.) (Brown et al, 1994;Wood et al, 1999) and cotton growth and yield (Mitchell and Tu, 2005;Sistani et al, 2004;Tewolde et al, 2005Tewolde et al, , 2007. However, accurately determining the availability of broiler litter N to crops is a diffi cult task and infl uenced by many factors, including litter N composition, timing, and soil type (Sharpley et al, 1998).…”

Cover Crop Use for Managing Broiler Litter Applied in the Fall

Increasing interest of using broiler litter in the fall for row crops has implications for leaching losses of nutrients, particularly N. Any cultural practice that prevents nutrient losses could be agronomically beneficial and improve soil fertility. A field study was conducted in 2007 and 2008 on Leeper silty clay loam (fine, smectitic, nonacid, thermic Vertic Epiaquepts) soil to evaluate the impacts of a winter rye (Secale cereal L.) cover crop and broiler litter timing on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield, yield components and leaching loss of NO3–N. Broiler litter was applied to the soil at the rates of 0, 4.5, 9, and 13.4 Mg ha−1 in the fall and spring for both cover and no cover crop and incorporated immediately. Winter rye cover crop was planted following broiler litter application in the fall. Averaged across cropping system and broiler litter timing, cotton lint yield and yield components increased with increasing broiler litter application. Application of broiler litter at a rate >9 Mg ha−1 was not advantageous and exceeded N need for optimum lint yield as evidenced by increasing postharvest NO3–N in the soil profile. In the absence of cover crop and averaged across litter rates, spring‐applied broiler litter had the best agronomic response and increased lint yield by 19 and 18% compared with fall‐applied litter in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Seeding a winter rye cover crop to fall‐applied broiler litter did not benefit cotton lint yield and yield components but substantially reduced leaching loss of NO3–N.

“…The risk associated with the accumulation of trace metals in soils due to the use of organic wastes includes phytotoxicity and the increased entry of toxic metals into the food chain (Heckman et. 1987) as well as in the deterioration of surface water and groundwater quality (Wood et al 1999). However, the above risks are difficult to assess directly through determining the total contents of metals in the organic wastes because the physico-chemical forms of the metal in the manure strongly affect their mobility, reactivity and availability to plants.…”

[197][198][199][200][201][202]. Increasing use of animal manures in Saskatchewan requires information on the fate and distribution of residual manure Cu and Zn in Saskatchewan soils. To address this issue, the amounts of soil Cu and Zn in various inorganic and organic fractions were investigated in a field crop research plot (Cudworth Association soil) with a 5-yr history of annual application of liquid swine manure and solid cattle manure, and in two grassland field research plots (Meota and Oxbow Association soils) that had received annual application of liquid swine manure for 3 yr. The annual rates of manure application were based on N contents in the manures, and were equivalent to approximately 0, 100, 200 and 400 kg total N ha -1 yr -1 in the field crop plots, and 0 and 100 kg total N ha -1 yr -1 in grassland plots. In both the field crop and grassland manured plots there were no substantial increases in total Cu and Zn in soils associated with manure application. Some increases in the moderately labile Cu and Zn fractions were observed in treatments with large amounts of animal manures applied every year. The liquid swine manure had less effect than cattle manure on increasing labile Cu and Zn fractions. These results indicate that annual addition of animal manures at rates of approximately 100 kg N ha -1 for 3 to 5 yr does not constitute an environmental risk from Cu and Zn loading in these soils.
