An integrated assessment of nitrogen source, transformation and fate within an intensive dairy system to inform management change.
(Public Library of Science, 2019-07-23)
From an environmental perspective optimised dairy systems, which follow current regulations, still have low nitrogen (N) use efficiency, high N surplus (kg N ha-1) and enable ad-hoc delivery of direct and indirect reactive ...
Developing and validating a decision support tool for media selection to mitigate drainage waters
(Elsevier, 2019-07-26)
The nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and ammonium (NH4-N) and/or dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) load in drainage water from farms can be managed by reactive or biological media filters. The nutrient content of the drainage ...
Impact of P inputs on source-sink P dynamics of sediment along an agricultural ditch network
(Elsevier, 2019-12-19)
Phosphorus (P) loss from intensive dairy farms is a pressure on water quality in agricultural catchments. At farm scale, P sources can enter in-field drains and open ditches, resulting in transfer along ditch networks and ...
Systematic review of dairy processing sludge and secondary STRUBIAS products used in agriculture
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-10)
Worldwide dairy processing plants produce high volumes of dairy processing sludge (DPS), which can be converted into secondary derivatives such as struvite, biochar and ash (collectively termed STRUBIAS). All of these ...
