dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of long term manure application on soil properties, winter wheat, grain yield, and to determine the N availability of land applied manure. Three different manure sources and commercial fertilizers were applied at rates of crop N or phosphorus (P) needs to a Norge loam soil. An optical sensor was utilized to determine if manure N based applications required additional N. Soil pH was maintained by N-based manure applications, but the addition of urea resulted in a decrease of approximately 0.4 pH units over time. Mehlich 3 P did not increase due to N based or P based treatments, except for poultry litter N based rate which increased by 52% in 2001 to 2003. The optical sensor did indicate that no additional N was needed. More research is needed to study the feasibility of using active sensors to manage manure nutrients. | |
