Comparison of Dairy Manure Nitrogen Availability to Corn Using Various Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most dairy farms in Wisconsin continue to produce most of their feed and have sufficient land for recycling manure nutrients through crops. However, to remain economically viable, many dairy farms are increasing herd size and importing more feed. The increased importation of nutrients in the form of feed and fertilizer has resulted in excessive soil nutrient accumulation (Bundy, 1998; Proost, 1999), and has increased the risk of nutrient transfer through surface and subsurface runoff and air pollution.

Measurements of dairy manure nutrient availability to crops typically show great variability. Approaches that are more accurate are needed to improve manure management and reduce nutrient loss to the environment. In this study, we compared direct (15N recovery) and indirect (difference method [Diff Meth] and fertilizer equivalence [FE] approach) methods of determining first-year dairy manure N ...

To an irrigated calcareous soil, we applied stockpiled dairy manure (42 Mg ha dry wt) and hardwood-derived biochar (22.4 Mg...
