1. Effect of Alfalfa Stand Density or Cutting Management on Nitrogen Supplying CapacityEconomic, energy and environmental considerations are making the efficient use of nitrogen fertilizers increasingly important for Wisconsin crop producers. Excessive nitrogen applications cannot be tolerated environmentally due to the potential for N leaching to groundwater, or economically due to the relatively high cost of N fertilizers. The potential exists for many producers, farming in legume rotation, to unknowingly over-apply N by not fully applying credits for previously grown alfalfa. A... |
2. Evaluation of Plant-Available Phosphorus of Dried Residuals from Wastewater Processed for Phosphorus Reduction with Aluminum or IronABSTRACT Wastewater effluent from industrial and municipal water treatment plants requires phosphorus (P) removal before being discharged to surface waters. The resulting residual materials, with elevated P concentration, are usually land applied. Basing P application rates on the nutrient value for crops is the most rational way to utilize this P resource because it would improve farmers economic return while... |
