Two agriculture experts at The Ohio State University have redesigned a metal tractor attachment so that it allows farmers to put manure on a field while crops are emerging. Applying manure to growing crops, which is not widely done in Ohio or nationwide, can boost yields, reduce nutrient losses, and give livestock producers and commercial manure ...
Module 3, Section 2 includes awareness of soil nutrient content, manure application and storage, livestock housing, and nutrient balances on farm. ...
Glen Arnold, a field specialist in manure nutrient management systems with Ohio State University Extension, said farmers thinking about a spring liquid manure application must first consider its nitrogen content. ...
The conference will offer the latest research, insight, tips and techniques on precision fertility, cover crops and manure, water management, technology and equipment, nutrient management, and advanced cover crops. ...
Schmidt recommends producers practice timely and adequate nitrogen fertilization as well as manure application, taking care to include the manure/ slurry contribution in nitrogen calculations. ...

The results of the research group of Valuation of resources from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid suggest an optimal solution to manage the manure from chicken and cattle. Biochar, a material obtained after thermal treatment of this waste through pyrolysis, is an organic fertilizer that applied in soils and not only has positive effects on crop yields, but also represents ...
Although the Lake Erie algae problems that contaminated Toledo’s water supply in early August have subsided, the crisis raised questions about animal manure application on farmland in Ohio and how it may have contributed to the problem. ...
The researchers also highlight the fact that standard tests to measure soil phosphorus do not take into account ‘legacy’ phosphorus that has accumulated in soils from past fertiliser and manure application. These tests estimate the immediately available phosphorus (i.e. that can flow freely from the soil and is easily taken up by plants) but this is ...
As the closed spreading period is now over, farmers will be keen to get on spreading manure as they get a window in the weather. By adopting a more scientific approach to manure usage, producers may be able to dramatically improve grass yields and quality. ...
“The calculations are based on several factors including crop rotation, yields, tillage type, tillage depth, erosion rate, manure applications and cover crops,” Islam said. “The calculator, which uses soil organic matter level at the beginning of the simulation period as the baseline parameter, can predict annual soil organic matter dynamics and ...
Topics to be discussed include: Management and Treatment Options for Agricultural Subsurface Drainage Controlled Drainage BioReactors Filters Near-Zero Discharge Agricultural Systems Livestock Manure Application Research and Future Trends Landscape Conservation Gypsum Variable Rate Nitrogen Applications in Corn Conservation Practices ...
Cornell’s 6NHTB Cutter Pump prominently graces the July/August 2012 cover of Manure Manager! The feature article explains how digital apps and mobile device technology are benefiting custom manure pumpers and applicators. J. Puck, of PCE Manure Equipment in Iowa, is shown using a digital pump communication and control ...
Scientists at USDA’s Agricultural Research Service and Penn State used computer simulated farms with the support of field research to compare the environmental impact and economic efficacy of using alternative manure application methods in farming systems. The techniques and practices being evaluated included broadcast spreading with and without ...
Manure has long been used as a crop fertilizer, but the challenge of finding an efficient use of the nutrients found in manure is ever present. ...
. • Functionality to make allowance for the effect of manure application. When approach with commitment to good processes, and with the recognition that it is but one factor in decision making, can be soil N testing is a useful tool in managing crop production, profitability, soil health and environmental ...
(forage grain) with and without manure compost, and spring wheat-field pea (Pisum sativum L.)-spring wheat-flax (grain only), as well as a restored prairie grass planting (Prairie). Conventional treatments received synthetic fertilizers and herbicides whereas the Organic received no inputs other than a one-time application of manure compost. The ...
A canopy reflectance sensor would provide an easy-to-use method for farmers to improve sidedress nitrogen applications to corn if canopy reflectance could be successfully correlated to nitrogen requirements. ...
Specific land management practices, such as manure application, can play a large role in the export of DOC as soluble organic carbon is applied to or injected into the soil surface. ...
The main sources of nitrogen and phosphorus come from fertilisers and manure. They are typically removed from the ground by crops and animals which eat crops. ...
