Managing Manure Nutrients Through Multi-crop Forage Production

Managing manure nutrients through multi-crop forage production.

Concentrated sources of dairy manure represent significant water pollution potential. The southern United States may be more vulnerable to water quality problems than some other regions because of climate, typical farm size, and cropping practices. Dairy manure can be an effective source of plant nutrients and large quantities of nutrients can be recycled through forage production, especially w...

Managing Soil pH and Crop Nutrients

91 The inherent complexity of crop production systems requires integrating many factors to ensure maximum crop yields with the least risk to the environment. Assessing presentand reserved-nutrient status of the soil, understanding its nutrient-release and nutrient-holding capacity, and knowing the plant and environmental factors that impact nutrient availability are necessary to guide fertiliza...

Conservation of Aquaculture Wastewater and Nutrients through Vegetable Crop Production

Global aquaculture production has expanded at an average annual rate of 6.2% during 2000-2012, with world aquaculture production of 66.7 million tons in 2012, outpacing world population growth rate of 1.6%. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), aquaculture is estimated to supply 62% of the world’s fish for human consumption by 2030. However, aquaculture produces huge volumes of ...
