Corn Production, Inorganic Nitrogen Distribution, and Soil Chemical Transformations Associated With Liquid Beef Manure Application Methods

Despite being a popular application method, many producers reported crop growth and production problems when liquid manure was knife injected into soil. Field and laboratory studies were conducted to determine the effects of liquid beef manure application methods and nitrification inhibitors on corn (Zea mays L.) yield, plant N concentrations, and soil chemical transformations. Manure was knife (vertical) injected, sweep (horizontal) injected, and broadcast (with immediate incorporation) at 28 050 to 42 075 L ha$\sp{-1}$.
