Chemical amendment of pig slurry: control of runoff related risks due to episodic rainfall events up to 48 hours after application.
(2013)Losses of phosphorus (P) from soil and slurry during episodic rainfall events can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. However, chemical amendments have the potential to decrease P and suspended solids (SS) losses ... -
Evaluation of chemical amendments to control phosphorus losses from dairy slurry
(Wiley, 2011)Land application of dairy slurry can result in incidental losses of phosphorus (P) to runoff in addition to increased loss of P from soil as a result of a buildup in soil test P (STP). An agitator test was used to identify ... -
Impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry on phosphorus, suspended sediment and metal loss to runoff from a grassland soil
(2011)Emerging remediation technologies such as chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry have the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) solubility and consequently reduce P losses arising from land application of dairy cattle ... -
Incidental phosphorus and nitrogen loss from grassland plots receiving chemically amended dairy cattle slurry.
(Elsevier, 2012-09)Chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry has been shown to effectively reduce incidental phosphorus (P) losses in runoff; however, the effects of amendments on incidental nitrogen (N) losses are not as well documented. ... -
Influence of soil phosphorus status, texture, pH and metal content on the efficacy of amendments to pig slurry in reducing phosphorus losses
(Wiley, 2017-12-13)Cost effective strategies for using chemically amended organic fertilizers need to be developed to minimize nutrient losses in surface and groundwater. Coupling specific soil physical and chemical characteristics with ... -
Split phosphorus fertiliser applications as a strategy to reduce incidental phosphorus losses in surface runoff
(Elsevier, 2019-04-24)Organic soils have low sorption capacities for phosphorus (P), and may pose a risk of P loss to water if P applications to these soils coincide with runoff events. Little is known about the magnitude of exports of P in ...
