Assessment of the Effects of Poultry Litter on Surface
The use of pelletized poultry litter (PPL) as a substitute for inorganic fertilizers is increasingly being encouraged in states like Delaware which have a considerable surplus of poultry litter. However, we know very little about the impacts of PPL on runoff water quality and whether it is an environmentally-sound and sustainable alternative to inorganic fertilizer. To address these questions w...
متن کاملPost-Planting Fertilization as a Reforestation Aid on a Sulfurous, Semiarid Surface Mine
Selected fertilizer formulations were assessed for their capacity to enhance growth and nutrition of Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi Grev. & Balf.) seedlings on an acidic and possibly toxic Sierran surface mine when applied three years after planting. In a study encompassing five growing seasons conducted on a semiarid, montane surface mine site on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, seedling ...
متن کاملFeeding Poultry Litter to Ruminants
Experiments were conducted to assess the feasibility of recycling poultry litter in the diets of young calves. Weaning rations containing 30% ensiled or unprocessed poultry litter gave unsatisfactory growth when fed to calves from two to twelve weeks of age. However, when these twelve week old calves were fed rations containing 30% or 50% poultry litter and sorghum, the costs/kg. gain were 19.5...

متن کاملReducing nitrogen loss during poultry litter composting using biochar.
Poultry litter (PL) is a potentially underused fertilizer because it contains appreciable amounts of N, P, K, and micronutrients. However, treatments like composting to reduce potential pathogens, weed seeds, and odor often result in high losses of N through NH3 volatilization. Biochar (BC) has been shown to act as an absorber of NH3 and water-soluble NH4+ and might therefore reduce losses of N...
