Laboratory evaluation of the pollution potential of land applied dairy manure
Authors:AE Ghaly  RK Singh
Abstract:Laboratory experiments were performed using 24,900 mm deep soil columns to determine the amounts of nitrogen lost through the processes of leaching and ammonia volatilization from land receiving high applications of dairy cattle manure. The soil columns were conditioned over a period of one year before the start of the experiment and a conscious effort was made to make the physical properties of the columns soil sufficiently reproduced to resemble the undisturbed soil. The effects of three manure and three water application rates on nitrogen losses were monitored over a period of 10 weeks. The concentrations of nitrogen compounds in the leachates obtained from the soil columns were very low. The observed losses of nitrogen caused by leaching and ammonia volatilization were influenced by manure and water application rates. The high concentration of nitrate nitrogen at the beginning of the experiment has the potential of causing groundwater pollution. Also, ammonia volatilization is considered high enough to cause serious odor problems.
