Response of Four Container Grown Woody Ornamentals to Immature Composted Media Derived from Waxed Corrugated Cardboard
Four containerized deciduous ornamental shrubs [deutzia (Deutzia gracilis L.), silverleaf dogwood (Cornus nlba 'Elegantissima'), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea L.), and ninebark (Physocarpirs optilifolius L.)] were grown during each of two separate growing seasons using 12 different immature (nonaged) composts as media (year one, 12 weeks from start of windrowing; year two, 16-weeks) and als...
متن کاملRecycled Liquid Cattle Manure as a Sole Fertilizer Source for Growing Container Nursery Stock in a Closed System
There is increasing environmental concerns about irrigation runoff, leachates, and other effluents from farms, composting sites, and other operations (Hong et al., 2009; LeaCox et al., 2004; Yeager et al., 1993). Waste effluents may cause surface and groundwater contamination (Million et al., 2007; Owen et al., 2008). Effluents are often rich in certain nutrients and can potentially be recycled...
متن کاملAlum-Treated Poultry Litter as a Fertilizer Source
Alum used for poultry houses is sold under the commercial name of “Al+ Clear” in either liquid or dry form. Alum should not be confused with other litter treatment chemicals such as “PLT” (poultry litter treatment), as PLT is comprised mainly of sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4). Although PLT is effective at reducing ammonia levels, pathogens in house, energy costs, and potentially increasing forage yi...
متن کاملDecrease in water-soluble 17beta-Estradiol and testosterone in composted poultry manure with time.
Little attention has been paid to the environmental fate of the hormones 17beta-estradiol and testosterone excreted in animal waste. Land application of manure has a considerable potential to affect the environment with these endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Composting is known to decompose organic matter to a stable, humus-like material. The goal of the present study was to quantitativel...
متن کاملDrying Poultry Manure for Pollution Potential Reduction and Production of Organic Fertilizer
Disposal and storage of raw poultry manure has become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution. Poultry manure begins to decompose immediately after excretion giving off ammonia which, in high concentrations, can have adverse effects on the health and productivity of birds as well as the health of the farm workers. Application to land is the most common w...
