Determination of Poultry Litter's Nitrogen-Fertilizer Value for Winter Wheat Production
<p>Nitrogen (N) availability in poultry litter (PL) applied in the fall as a nutrient source for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has not been adequately characterized. Our objective was to determine a potentially available N (PAN) coefficient based on the inorganic-N fertilizer equivalence …

EVALUATION OF BASE LINERS TO REDUCE NITROGEN AND SALT LEACHING FROM POULTRY LITTER STORAGE STOCKPILES TO THE UNDERLYING SOIL - A FIELD COLUMN STUDY
… Bay. The Delmarva Peninsula is an intensive poultry producing region, where poultry litter (PL, mix of manure and bedding material) is often stored in outdoor stockpiles. Continued development of management practices is required to achieve environmentally sound PL storage. This study …

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Management in the Mid-Atlantic
… polyethylene mulch; (2) determine optimum N application method and rate for fresh market tomatoes; and (3) evaluate changes of soil P pools from applications of poultry litter (PL), PL amended with alum (PLA), triple super phosphate (TSP), and no P fertilizer in a long-term no-till …

The role of cover crops in agroecosystem functioning
… (N) management and simultaneously providing multiple ecosystem services. Legume CC fertilized with poultry litter (PL) could replace 101 to 117 kg N ha-1 of fertilizer in corn (Zea mays L.) production. Rye (Secale cereale L.) CC fertilized with PL had a negligible effect on corn production. …

INCREASING EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF WASTE-TO-ENERGY SYSTEMS USING BIOCHAR FOR HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONTROL AND LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
… (AD) of dairy manure (DM) and combustion of poultry litter (PL). The first objective was co-digestion of DM with gummy vitamin waste (GVW) to increase methane (CH4) yield. The GVW co-digestion treatments significantly increased CH4 yield by 126% - 151% compared to DM-only treatment and …

Groundcover Management System and Nutrient Source Impact Physical Soil Quality Indicators in an Organically Managed Apple Orchard
… (GMS) and two nutrient sources (NS) were implemented for their ability to alter the soil physical condition of a newly established, organically managed apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) orchard. Annual applications of municipal green compost (GC), shredded office paper (SP), wood chips (WC), …

Nutrient Availability from Poultry Litter Co-Products
… animal feeding operations. By converting poultry litter to an ash via thermal conversion, nutrients are concentrated and are economical to ship out of nutrient surplus watersheds to nutrient deficient regions, such as the corn-belt. We initiated incubation and field studies on sandy loam …

Influence of surface chemistry of carbon materials on inorganic nitrogen contaminants chemisorption
… carbon (AC), and biochar (BC) has been widely implemented. This study was based on the hypothesis that surface chemical properties of CMs significantly influence INC adsorption. A range of physicochemical characterizations of CMs was performed to correlate INC adsorption with CM's surface …

Factors Influencing Salmonella Survival in Agricultural Soils and Internalization through Solanaceous Crop Roots
… risk of Salmonella internalization in to transplanted solanaceous crops (tomatoes and bell peppers) and identify factors that influence internalization through the roots such as mode of contamination, soil contamination level, and root damage. Sandy loam (SL) and clay loam (CL) soils both …

Effect of Poultry Litter-Yard Waste Compost Application on Phosphorus Availability in Diverse Soils
Land application of poultry litter has been successfully practiced for centuries to maintain and improve soil fertility, although over application may promote loss of nutrients through runoff or leaching. To decrease the potential for adverse environmental impacts of N and P in groundwater, a new …

Literature Survey of Wet-Waste and Hydrothermal Carbonization System: A Comparative Evaluation
… process using different feedstocks such as Raw Apple (RA), Apple chip pomace (ACP), apple juice pomace (AJP), grape pomace (GP), macadamia nut-shell (MNS), Sewage Sludge (SS), Poultry Litter (PL) and Grape Marc (GM). The data obtained from the literature survey was compared with the data obtained …

Poultry Litter Ash as an Alternative Fertilizer Source for Corn
Poultry litter ash (PLA) is a co-product from manure-to-energy systems that originated in response to increased poultry litter (PL) volumes generated in concentrated poultry production regions. Investigating PLA as a crop fertilizer is an alternative solution to balancing poultry and crop regional …
