چکیده
Over one billion tons of agricultural, municipal, and industrial wastes with potential uses in agriculture are generated annually in the United States. Many of these materials are applied to agricultural land because of the benefits they provide. These benefits include: providing a nutrient source for crops; improving soil chemical, physical and biological properties; improving water storage and use; reducing movement of contaminants to water and air; and reducing production costs and energy use. However, improperly managed manure and other byproducts can pose a threat to soil, water and air quality, and to human and animal health.
