Swine effluent application timing and rate affect nitrogen use efficiency in common bermudagrass
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pets.] hay production is integral to manure management on southeastern swine farms. But swine effluent timing must be synchronized with crop nitrogen (N) demands...
Residual effects of composted and fresh solid swine (Sus scrofa L.) manure on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] growth and yield
Applying livestock manure to soil can enhance soil fertility and crop growth; however, little information is available on the residual effects of manure on crop growth. The objective of this study...
Survival of zoonotic pathogens in soils and runoff water after application of swine manure
Because of increased scrutiny of manure handling practices, it is important to determine the most appropriate practices for manure application on soil. This study was undertaken to determine the...
A farm-scale test of nitrogen assimilation by vegetated buffer systems receiving swine lagoon effluent by overland flow
A farm-scale study was conducted from 2000 to 2004 to determine the effectiveness of grass-forest vegetated buffers in assimilating nitrogen (N) from overland flow application of swine lagoon...
