Project: MLMMI 2015-16

Objective

The main objective of the study is to determine the rate of P depletion in soil following 7 years of continuous application of manure to agricultural land and quantify plant available residual nitrogen from manure.

Specifically:

1. Evaluate the impact of cropping system (annual versus perennial) on P depletion rate;
2. Determine the effect of nutrient sources on P depletion rate; and
3. Based on the P depletion rate, develop predictive equations to determine how long it will take to reduce available soil below 60 ppm of Olsen P in agricultural soil under annual and perennial cropping systems.
