Nitrous oxide fluxes, soil oxygen, and denitrification potential of urine- and non-urine-treated soil under different irrigation frequencies
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, Inc., 2016-07)
© American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America. 5585 Guilford Rd., Madison, WI 53711 USA. All rights reserved. Despite increased use of irrigation to improve forage ...
A review of the policies and implementation of practices to decrease water quality impairment by phosphorus in New Zealand, the UK, and the US
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-04)
© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. The improper use of phosphorus (P) on agricultural land in developed countries is related to P losses that impair surface water quality. We outline policy in New Zealand, ...
Using organic phosphorus to sustain pasture productivity: A perspective
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
Organic phosphorus (P) in grazed pastures/grasslands could sustain production systems that historically relied on inorganic P fertiliser. Interactions between inorganic P, plants and soils have been studied extensively. ...
The efficacy of good practice to prevent long-term leaching losses of phosphorus from an irrigated dairy farm
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
Phosphorus (P) can be leached from intensive land uses, including grazed dairy farming. There is some evidence to suggest that P-leaching can enrich groundwater, especially where fertiliser or farm dairy effluent P (FDE) ...
Effects of lime and organic amendments derived from varied source materials on cadmium uptake by potato
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, Inc., 2017-07)
Repeated applications of Cd-rich phosphate fertilizers have resulted in elevated concentrations of this toxic element in some New Zealand soils. Exceedance of the food safety standard for Cd (0.1 mg kg⁻¹ fresh weight) has ...
The mitigation of phosphorus losses from a water-repellent soil used for grazed dairy farming
(Elsevier, 2020-03-15)
Phosphorus (P) losses via surface runoff can be large. Soil water repellency (SWR) occurs in warm and dry conditions. If SWR coincides with P fertiliser applications, the risk of P loss by surface runoff may increase. ...
Potential environmental benefits from blending biosolids with other organic amendments before application to land
(Crop Science Society of America, American Society of Agronomy, and Soil Science Society of America, 2017-05-18)
Biosolids disposal to landfill or through incineration is wasteful of a resource that is rich in organic matter and plant nutrients. Land application can improve soil fertility and enhance crop production but may result ...
Can phosphorus fertilizers sparingly soluble in water decrease phosphorus leaching loss from an acid peat soil?
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc. on behalf of the British Society of Soil Science, 2016-09)
© 2016 British Society of Soil Science The potential risk of phosphorus (P) loss in surface run-off can be decreased using sparingly soluble forms of P fertilizer (e.g. reactive phosphate rock (RPR)). However, it is unclear ...
Flooding-induced N₂O emission bursts controlled by pH and nitrate in agricultural soils
(Elseiver, 2014-02)
Agricultural soils are a major source of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N₂O) to the atmosphere. Increasing frequency and severity of flooding as predicted for large intensively cropped areas may promote temporary ...
Influence of plant growth and root architecture of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) on N recovery during winter
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2015-12)
© 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Nitrate (NO₃⁻) leaching is an environmental and health concern. In grazed pasture systems, NO₃⁻ leaching primarily occurs beneath animal urine patch areas due to high nitrogen (N) loading and ...
