Enhancing nutrient cycling by coupling cover crops with manure injection
Coupling winter small grain cover crops (CC) with liquid manure injection may increase manure nutrient capture. The objectives of this research were to quantify manure injection effects using target swine (Sus scrofa) manure N rates of 112, 224, and 336 kg N ha–1 on CC plant density, fall and spring shoot biomass, N, P, and K uptake and subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) yield. A winter rye (Secale ...

Cattle manure application strategies effects on bahiagrass yield, nutritive value, and phosphorus recovery
Animal manure application based on crop N requirements often leaves excess P in the soil because of the differences in the N/P ratio in manures and that required by the plants. This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of cattle (Bos taurus) manure applied alone or in combination with ammonium nitrate (AN) on bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) dry matter (DM) yield, nutritive value, ...

Observing the nitrogen cycle in a green manure trial on an organic farm
As part of a 5 year Federal Government funded Landcare project in the Gippsland area of Victoria, a number of on-farm trials have taken place. One of these trials was monitoring a range of green manures on a certified organic vegetable farm. The demonstration trialled and compared 6 different green manure crops each year for 3 years against a control. The control was immediately adjacent to the ...

Application of Biochar in Animal husbandry: Feed Additive
Animal husbandry plays a crucial role in meeting the global demand for animal products. However, it also generates significant environmental challenges, such as nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions. To address these issues, researchers and farmers have been exploring innovative solutions, and one such solution is the application of biochar as a feed additive. This article will delve into ...
