Rationale and Objectives
• Rationale– Manure applications from concentrated animal
feeding operations have increased soil P levels
– P transport from agricultural land to surface water is undesirable
• Objectives– Evaluate various amendments to decrease
soil test values for P

Farm History- Kurten Site
• Farm occupies 200-300 acres
• Dairy operation- Post WWII era (30 years)
• Hen laying operation since early 1980’s
– 500,000 birds
– 30-35 Mg of wet manure produced daily (70% moisture)

Kurten TX site: Climate
• Rainfall– About 900 mm of annual rainfall– About 100 mm occurs in July and August,
thus leading to low soil moisture
• Annual Average temperature– About 20 C

Booneville Experiment
• Ability to change soil P levels with waste paper
• Leadvale silt loam
• Low P soil (<60 mg P/kg Bray-1 P values)
• 3 rates of waste paper (22, 44 or 88 Mg/ha to supply 90, 170 or 350 kg Al/ha)

Conclusions
• Gypsum can reduce runoff and DRP when soil P values are very high– Low soluble, reactive Ca– Ca added in amounts equal to Mehlich P
• Decreases in runoff P with amendments– Maybe associated with changes in soil
structure
